I couldn't seem to fall asleep
There was so much on my mind
Searching for that peace
But the peace I could not find
So then I kneeled down to pray
Praying, "Help me, please"
Then He said, "You don't have to cry"
'Cause I'll supply all your needs
As soon as I stopped worrying (soon as I stopped worrying)
Worrying how the story ends (when I let go)
When I let go, and I let God (let Him have)
Let God have His way (that's when things start happening)
That's when things start happening
When I stopped looking at back then (when I let go)
I let go, and I let God (when I let God)
(Let Him have) let God have His way
There's so much going on
Sometimes I can't find my way
And often times I struggle
Struggle from day to day
I have to realize that it's not my battle
It's not my battle to fight
I have to know if I put it in Your hands
That everything will be alright
As soon as I stopped worrying (soon as I stopped worrying)
Worrying how the story ends (I can let go)
I let go, and I let God (I can let God, let Him have)
Let God have His way (have His way, that's)
That's when things start happening (things start happening)
I stopped looking at back then (oh, when I let go)
When I let go, and I let God (when I let God)
(Let Him have) let God have His way
Let go, let God
Let go and let God
Let go, let God
Oh, let go and let God
Let go and let God
My brother, let go and let God
My sister, you can't handle it, let God
Oh, let go and let God
Let go (let go) and let God (let God)
Oh, let go (let go) and let God (let God)
He's the only one with the answers (let go), just let God (let God)
He can handle it all, yes, He can (let go), let God (let God)
With tears in your eyes (let go), just let God (let God)
He feels your pain (let go), and He know your heart (let God)
He knows your issues (let go), He knows your struggles (let God)
So let go (let go) and let God (let God)
(Soon as) soon as I stopped worrying (soon as I stopped worrying)
Worrying how the story ends (then and only then can I)
When I let go, and I let God (I can let go)
(I can let God) let God have His way (let God have His way)
(That's when, that's when) that's when things start happening
(Everything will turn around, yes, it will)
When I stopped looking at back then when (I stopped looking at way back then, I can)
I let go, and I let God (I can let go, I can let God)
Let God have His way (oh, soon as)
As soon as I stopped worrying (oh)
(Oh yeah) that's when things start happening
(My body was healed, and my worries were cast aside as soon as)
Soon as I stopped worrying
(When I threw up both of my hands and I gave it over to Him)
(That's when things) that's when things start happening
When I let go, when I let God
About This Song
"Let Go" by DeWayne Woods is a deeply personal gospel ballad that transforms sleepless anxiety into spiritual surrender and divine trust. The song captures the universal human struggle of wrestling with worry and the need for control, particularly during life's most uncertain moments when peace feels impossibly elusive. Woods crafts an intimate narrative that moves from restless desperation to profound spiritual breakthrough, illustrating the paradoxical Christian concept that true power comes through relinquishing control to God. The track's emotional core lies in its honest portrayal of the mental anguish that keeps believers awake at night, followed by the liberating realization that divine intervention requires human surrender. Musically, the song likely features the warm, soulful production typical of contemporary gospel, with rich harmonies and a building arrangement that mirrors the emotional journey from turmoil to peace. The central message-"let go and let God"-represents one of Christianity's most challenging yet transformative principles, suggesting that miracles and positive change occur not through human striving but through faithful release of outcomes to divine will. Woods' vulnerable vocal delivery and the song's contemplative pace create space for listeners to connect with their own experiences of worry and spiritual seeking. The track resonated with gospel audiences because it addresses a fundamental human condition while offering both theological comfort and practical spiritual guidance, making it both deeply personal and universally relatable.
