[Verse 1] The essential thing is learning That I do not know Knowledge is power And all power is of God I have tried to keep the power I have hidden it from me Everything that I have taught myself Has obscured what I can be [Pre-Chorus] All that stands between me And the power of God in me Is the learning of the false And the attempt to undo what's true Let it all go Let it all go I am not bound to it forever Let it all go What I taught myself is past It cannot guide me now I bring the darkness to the light And lay my lessons down [Verse 2] Atonement teaches me To escape what I have learned By showing me what I am now And what has been undone My learning is the past Its influence fills the present But my learning gives it no meaning There is nothing there to know [Chorus] Let it all go Let it all go Do not attempt to understand In the darkness of the past Let it all go Let it all go Do not use the past as light To guide me now [Bridge — very spacious] I do not know What anything means Including this I do not know How to respond I will not use My own past learning As the light To guide me now I do not know I am willing to learn I do not know I am willing to learn [Verse 3] Bring every dark lesson Willingly to truth Lay it down with open hands Ready to receive He accepts each one Because I do not want it And exchanges every dark lesson For the bright lesson He has learned Never believe That any lesson learned apart from Him Means anything [Final Chorus] I do not know I do not know And so I do not know How to respond I will not use my past As the light to guide me now I will make room for peace I will make room for Him [Outro] Listen in silence Do not raise your voice against Him He teaches the miracle of oneness And before His lesson Division disappears I do not know I am willing to learn I do not know I am willing to learn Let it all go Let it all go Let it all go And let Him teach me.
