I Won’t Let Go (But I’ll Let God)

Verse 1
I’ve been fighting through the silence,
trying to hold the breaking light,
loving someone who’s still haunted,
by the shadows of the night.
And every tear I tried to hide,
was just me keeping faith alive,
but love can’t heal what truth denies…
and I can’t keep losing me to fight.

Pre-Chorus
I thought letting go meant losing,
I thought peace meant walking away,
but God whispered in the darkness —
“You can love, and still be safe.”

Chorus
So I won’t let go, but I’ll let God.
He can carry what I cannot.
If this love was meant to rise,
it won’t be broken by goodbye.
I’ll keep the light, not just the pain,
I’ll love with open hands again.
I won’t let go, but I’ll let God.

Verse 2
He said, “Child, you’ve done enough now,
you were fire through his storm.”
You were never meant to save him,
only to show him what love is for.
And if your heart still beats in hope,
let it be for truth, not control.
You can rest now, you can breathe —
your soul’s still whole, your love’s still gold.

Pre-Chorus
'Cause holding on to what was dying
wasn’t faith, it was my fear.
But God is in the letting go,
and He’s still whispering, “I’m here.”

Chorus
So I won’t let go, but I’ll let God.
He can carry what I cannot.
If this love was meant to rise,
it won’t be broken by goodbye.
I’ll keep the light, not just the pain,
I’ll love with open hands again.
I won’t let go, but I’ll let God.

Bridge
Maybe He’ll heal us both in time,
maybe He’ll lead our hearts apart.
But either way, I’m still divine,
I’m still enough, I’m still His art.
And when my tears fall to the ground,
He turns them into sacred sound.

Final Chorus
So I won’t let go, but I’ll let God.
He can carry what I cannot.
And if love is truly real,
then time and truth will help it heal.
I’ll trust the hands I cannot see,
to guard his soul, to guide my peace.
I won’t let go…
No, I won’t let go…
But I’ll let God. 🕊️
