Fearless BND - Letting Go Lyrics
Lyrics
I'm done holding on to my pride
Finally giving You control
I will never conquer my life
I thought Your love will lead me home
I'm letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Goodbye
I all I needed was Your power
I all I needed was Your grace
So come inside and take me over
Deliver me from darkened days
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Goodbye
This wings getting higher, this clothes are on fire
Keep running, yeah
I am gonna keep running, yeah
This wings getting higher, this clothes are on fire
Keep running, yeah
I am gonna keep running, yeah
This wings getting higher, this clothes are on fire
Keep running, yeah
I am gonna keep running, yeah
This wings getting higher, this clothes are on fire
Keep running, yeah
I am gonna keep running, yeah
This wings getting higher, this clothes are on fire
Keep running, yeah
I am gonna keep running
Goodbye
Keep running, yeah
I am gonna keep running, yeah
Keep running, yeah

Letting Go
Meaning & Inspiration
"Letting Go," released on February 24, 2017, as part of the album *We Are Fearless*, is a profound declaration of surrender and faith. This song isn't merely an emotional release; it's a powerful testament to the transformative experience of relinquishing personal pride and yielding to a higher power, echoing the timeless truth found in Scripture. The opening lines immediately signal a profound shift, a conscious decision to abandon self-reliance for divine guidance. The realization that personal strength is insufficient to conquer life's challenges, as expressed by the sentiment "I will never conquer my life," is a deeply relatable human struggle. This acknowledgment paves the way for the song's central theme: the belief that divine love is the ultimate compass, leading one toward a spiritual home.
The repeated refrain of "I'm letting go" is not a passive resignation but an active embrace of trust. It signifies a deliberate act of releasing the burden of control, a concept deeply rooted in biblical wisdom. Proverbs 3:5-6 beautifully encapsulates this, urging us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." The song's plea for divine intervention – "I all I needed was Your power, I all I needed was Your grace" – directly mirrors the dependence on God's strength and mercy that is central to Christian faith. The desire to be "taken over" and "delivered from darkened days" speaks to the spiritual renewal that comes from aligning one's life with God's will, a theme prevalent in verses like Psalm 23:4, which assures us that even in the valley of the shadow of death, God's rod and staff provide comfort and guidance. The imagery of "wings getting higher" and "clothes on fire" paired with the relentless call to "keep running" evokes a sense of spiritual momentum and an unstoppable pursuit of righteousness. This dynamic imagery can be understood through the lens of pressing forward in faith, akin to the Apostle Paul's admonition in Philippians 3:13-14: "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me together in Christ Jesus." The song's earnest message encourages listeners to find their strength not in their own capabilities, but in the boundless power and unwavering grace of God, urging them toward a life of uninhibited spiritual progression.
