No Holdin' Back

No holdin’ back,
No holdin’ back
No holdin’ back today
Oh my Lord, this morning
I’m going all the way
No holdin’ back
No holdin’ back
Teach me how to pray
And follow You completely Lord
No holdin’ back today

The elements surrender
To Your holy hand
The butter-fly so tender
The mighty oak tree grand
The lily-of-the-valley
The lonesome morning dove
Symbols of Your goodness
And wonder of Your love

Yet somehow still I doubt You
When I am feeling low
There is so much about You
That I can never know
But you know every heart-beat
Each whisper and each thought
Before I breathed the breath of life
My every day was wrought

No holdin’ back
No holdin’ back
No holdin’ back today
You know what I am thinking
Beyond the words I say
No holdin’ back
No holdin’ back
Teach me how to pray
And follow You completely Lord
No holdin’ back today

Trust isn’t something I can see
And then decide to take
Trust is letting go of me
And choices I would make
For if I’m clinging to my will
In spite of words I say
I’ll never know Your love until
I let You lead the way

No holdin’ back
No holdin’ back
No holdin’ back today
Help me trust and follow you
As You lead the way
No holdin’ back
No holdin’ back
Teach me how to pray
And follow You completely Lord
No holdin’ back today

He saw a man named Matthew
sitting at the tax collector's booth,
"Follow Me" He told him, and Matthew
got up and followed Him. Matt. 9:9
