Woo
Come on, it's a song of intercession
All of these songs we keep singing
All of this praise we keep bringing, yeah

These hands we keep raising
These prayers we keep praying, oh

We want them to see You
So we get out the way today
We move ourselves out of the way
Oh, somebody make that your prayer
I'm getting out of the way
I'm moving out of the way
To let Your glory fall
We don't wanna drive Your glory
We don't want to control the glory
We are carriers of glory, ha-ha-ha
So You do what You want to do
And when You move that's when we'll move, woo
When You move that's when we'll move
So let Your glory fall

Tasha Cobbs Leonard - Let It Fall (Audio / Live At The Ryman, Nashville, TN/2020)
Meaning & Inspiration
"Let It Fall," a powerful live recording from Tasha Cobbs Leonard's 2020 album *Royalty: Live at The Ryman*, stands as a profound anthem of surrender and a fervent plea for divine presence. This song transcends mere musical performance; it is a declared act of worship and intercession, born from a deep yearning for God's glory to saturate every aspect of our lives. The lyrics articulate a singular focus, moving beyond the spectacle of performance or the self-satisfaction of our own efforts, to a radical dependence on the Spirit's movement. The core message revolves around the desire for God's glory to descend, a concept deeply rooted in biblical narratives.
The driving force behind "Let It Fall" is the recognition that true spiritual impact originates not from human ingenuity or carefully orchestrated moments, but from the unadulterated presence of God. Tasha Cobbs Leonard expresses this through the repeated, resolute declaration, "We just want You to come." This echoes the ancient longing found in Scripture, such as the prayer in Isaiah 64:1, "Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might shake at Your presence." The song's insistence on moving "out of the way" signifies a profound humility and a willingness to yield control, mirroring the disciples' experience of stepping back to allow God's power to manifest, as seen in Acts 4:31 where, "After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly." The desire for God's glory to fall is not a passive wish, but an active pursuit of His manifested power and presence, a theme pervasive throughout the Bible.
This emphasis on God's sovereign action over human planning is a testament to the biblical understanding of His glory. The Bible speaks of God's glory filling the tabernacle (Exodus 40:34-35) and later the temple (1 Kings 8:10-11), indicating His tangible presence. "Let It Fall" captures this same spirit of anticipation, where the assembled worshippers are not seeking a show, but a genuine encounter that transforms. The repetition of "Let Your glory fall" is a prayerful echo of the psalmist's cry in Psalm 96:3, "Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all peoples." The song underscores a crucial theological point: human efforts, while valuable in their place, are ultimately insufficient to usher in divine transformation. True change, the kind that redeems and restores, is a direct result of God's glory being unleashed.
The lyrics also touch upon the essence of intercessory prayer, framing the song itself as an act of deep spiritual engagement. This aligns with the biblical call to pray without ceasing and to intercede for others and for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. The repeated phrase, "Move how You wanna move, do what You wanna do," is a bold statement of submission, acknowledging God's ultimate authority and wisdom. It speaks to a faith that trusts God's timing and methods, even when they are beyond human comprehension. This sentiment is beautifully captured in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." "Let It Fall" is an inspiring call for believers to relinquish self-sufficiency and embrace the transformative power of God's unhindered glory, making it a potent declaration of faith and a deeply resonant expression of spiritual longing.
