Story behind the song
How often do we end up searching for a loving God when the bottom seems to fall out in every area of our lives. My son number 3 was in the Ivory Coast doing social work where his best friend and mentor died in his arms. What comfort can you offer? What answers can you give?
Lyrics
Spent my whole life trusting You.
You said when its dark, Youd be there.
Now that shadows cloud the skies, I can't find You here.
How much can a mans heart take?
How much can he stand to lose?
Don't know the answers, so
I'll leave it up to You.
Verse 2
You said that we'd be a team;
Everywhere I'd go, You'd be there.
You would never leave me too long out in the cold.
How long is too long to cry
When all that's left are questions why
Guess I'll just have to try and
Leave it up to You.
Chorus 1
Every turn the road must take,
Every time my poor heart breaks,
I'll just try and leave it up to You.
And when the pains too hard to bear,
And the futures so unclear,
I'll leave it up to You.
Verse 3
Now I don't doubt that theres a plan,
And You'll bring out the best for all to see,
But I sometimes wonder just how painful,
The best will turn out to be.
When the going gets too tough, I know I'm not strong enough.
I'll just have to
Leave it up to You.
Chorus 2
Every turn the road must take,
Every time my poor heart breaks,
I'll just try and leave it up to You.
And when the pain's too hard to bear,
And I can't seem to find You here.
I'll leave it up to You.

Mercy, Lord, on this poor fool, it seems I've nothing left to lose.
I'm gonna let You choose; and I'll leave it up to You.
Chorus 3

Chorus 4
Every turn the road must take,
Every time my poor heart breaks,
Oh, I'll just try and leave it up to You.
And when the pain's too hard to bear,
And the futures so unclear
I'll leave it up to You.
