With empty hands I came into the world And when I'm done, to dust I will return What happens in the in-between Will rest on you, or fall on me I can take control or let you have your way Whether blessings come or blessings go Blessed be your name Let it be, let it be Let it be Your will Let it be, let it be Let it be Your will Sometimes the Lord will take away Or the Lord will freely give Let it be, let it be Let it be Your will It hurts to say goodbye to my old friend I thought he would stay longer than he did I prayed and prayed the best I could I waited for a miracle Now I'm letting go, making peace with it Time and life are in your hand I thank you for the gift Let it be, let it be Let it be Your will Let it be Your will Sometimes the Lord will take away Or the Lord will freely give Let it be, let it be Let it be Your will I believe, I believe I believe you will I believe, I believe I believe you will Give me the eyes to see the goodness Of my Savior while I live I believe, I believe I believe you will Grant me the strength to walk this journey 'Til your perfect plan's revealed I believe, I believe I believe you will I may not understand your timing But I'll trust you and be still Let it be, let it be Let it be your will
