Detaching From Outcomes

[Verse 1]

I'll do my best and then let go

Can't control what I don't know

The outcomes aren't mine to determine

Detaching from outcomes, I'm learning

[Verse 2]

I plant the seeds but can't make them grow

I say the words but hearts I don't own

My job is effort, not results

Detaching from outcomes, no moreults

[Pre-Chorus]

Control the process, not the end

Control the journey, not where it bends

Control the effort I bring today

Detaching from outcomes is the way

[Chorus]

Detaching from outcomes! Here and now!

Detaching from outcomes! Show me how!

To do my best and let results be free

Detaching from outcomes, liberty!

I control effort, not the score

Detaching from outcomes, so much more!

[Verse 3]

Success or failure's not in my hands

Just faithfulness to where I stand

Showing up is all I can do

Detaching from outcomes, breakthrough

[Verse 4]

The harvest isn't mine to force

Just tending to my given course

Water, weed, and watch with care

Detaching from outcomes, God's affair

[Pre-Chorus]

Control the process, not the end

Control the journey, not where it bends

Control the effort I bring today

Detaching from outcomes is the way

[Chorus]

Detaching from outcomes! Here and now!

Detaching from outcomes! Show me how!

To do my best and let results be free

Detaching from outcomes, liberty!

I control effort, not the score

Detaching from outcomes, so much more!

(Bridge)

Plant! (But don't control growth!)

Water! (But don't force oath!)

Weed! (But don't demand yield!)

Tend! (But the outcome's sealed!)

My part! (Is faithfulness!)

God's part! (Is fruitfulness!)

I show up! (That's all!)

Detach! (From the call!)

[Breakdown]

The tyranny of outcomes had me bound

Measuring worth by what was found

But now I see a different way

Detachment sets me free today

From anxiety about results

Detachment is for adults!

[Final Chorus]

Detaching from outcomes! (Here and now!)

Detaching from outcomes! (Show me how!)

To do my best and let results be free

Detaching from outcomes, liberty!

I control effort, not the score

Detaching from outcomes, so much more!

[Coda]

Detaching... from results... today...

Effort... mine... outcome... Your way...

Freedom... in release... now...

Detaching... show me how...
