Abandon all that I think I am....Howard Thurman

I abandon all that I think I am,

All that I hope to be,

All that I believe I possess.

I let go of the past.

I withdrawal my grasping hand from the future.

And in the great silence of the moment,

I alertly rest my soul.

 

Can you abandon all that you think you are?

All that you hope to be?

All that you believe to possess?

Can you let go of the past?

Can you withdrawal your grasping hand from the future?

And in the great silence of the moment, 

Can you alertly rest your soul?

 

We can abandon all that we think we are.

All that we hope to be,

All that we believe to possess.

We can let go of the past

And withdrawal our grasping hands from the future.

And in the great silence of the moments,

We can alertly rest our souls.
