I guess we have always known That a day like this one would come When our children would leave us And begin to build a home of their own Lord, all you have taught us We have gladly passed on to them But one thing we don't know Is how to place them back in your arms again
CHORUS: Lord, help us let go of two That they might become one Just like the Father, Spirit, and Son Two hearts invisibly bound in love By a vow that will not be undone
Now in your tender care Lord, be all that we cannot be And help us to trust you When we don't see you quickly meeting their needs For you have provided Since the day you gave our children to us But now, in your arms dear Jesus The time has come for giving them up
Repeat CHORUS
The urge is strong To try holding on To the image of two The way that we knew them But now in your eyes The two will be as one
