Let the Chips Fall Where They May
LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY
You have come to the altar, for remorse, forgiveness and peace;
Now before you can even open your eyes and get up off your feet;
You must find the inter praise, solemn peace; (solemn peace)
How sweet, such a sweet, sweet release…
Jesus says come my child come unto my bosom and rest;
Bring me your all, your galls of unhappiness, guilt’s and woes;
Remembering my child that you are mine and mines alone;
I will place your cares and troubles on my throne; (on the throne)
Confess your faults and your sacrifice;
Don’t even think twice, wither it being especially cruel meaning full or nice;
Take your hands off your hips, let the chips fall where they may;
And may the chips break off;
For all your burdens I’ve taken, to the cross;
Jesus says, you wear your feelings on your shoulders;
You are standing yet in a blaze of fire but yet you are colder;
Feelings just full of emotions with a chip on your shoulder;
How sweet, such a sweet, sweet release;
Don’t even think twice;
Confess your faults and your sacrifice;
Wither it being especially cruel meaning full or nice;
Take your hands off your hips;
Let the chips fall where they may;
And may the chips break off;
For all your burdens I’ve taken to the cross;
Again I do say take your hands off your hips;
Let the chips fall where they may;
And may the chips break off;
For all your burdens I’ve taken to the cross;
No matter what you or the world may, say
Let the chips fall where they may;
