So don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your lifeThere are treasures that I have possessed
Meant the world to me
But they never fill the emptiness
I needed something more than theseIn the middle of my wilderness
God reached down to me
When I let go to His tenderness
I found His love was more than I ever dreamedSo don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your life
Just lay it all on the line
Gotta make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the lineIt's a matter of surrendering
Every hidden fear
And by letting go of everything
Jesus will meet you thereIn the heart of everyone of us
There's a call to faith
Even though we'll never measure up
That's why the Savior, that's why the Savior cameSo don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your life
Just lay it all on the line
Gotta make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the lineSo don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your life
Just lay it all on the line
Gotta make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the lineGone are the days of holding on
This is the time to surrender
Now is the moment you've got to let it go
Just let go, just let go, just let it go nowDon't go wastin', wastin' your time
Gotta make up, make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the lineSo don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your life
Just lay it all on the line
Gotta make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the line
