Verse 1 It drifted through the bay The tide took it far away It turned beneath the morning sky Then disappeared from my eye Chorus Let it go out with the tide Let Your Spirit wash it clean The sin, the weight, the worn-out things What the storm has shaken free What I’ve held for far too long Carry it away, Lord And help me carry on Verse 2 I’ve prayed for every storm to pass Before the winds grew strong But some have shown me what was dead Though I held on way too long So when the water rises Give me faith to open my arms And watch it float away Chorus Let it go out with the tide Let Your Spirit wash it clean The sin, the weight, the worn-out things What the storm has shaken free What I’ve held for far too long Carry it away, Lord And help me carry on Bridge The morning’s breaking through There’s room for something new To grow where dead things grew
