Lyrics
I Trust you completely with my story
In every flood or fire
In the midst of trouble & tragedy
I know you won’t let go
I will hold on to you
till the last steps of my feet
In every test or trial
In the midst of battle and all struggles
I know you won’t let go
Chorus
You love me , you care about me
You love me , you care about me
Through the dark when I loose the way
I know you won’t let go
Arankunda anyitaho
Arankunda anyitaho
No mumwijima , ninyoba
Yesu ntazandeka

Meaning & Inspiration
“You Won’t Let Go” expresses trust in God through danger, grief, confusion, and conflict. Flood, fire, trouble, tragedy, testing, and battle describe circumstances that can unsettle faith, yet the recurring assurance remains that Jesus will not abandon the one who trusts him. The bilingual closing lines continue the same confession in Kinyarwanda, affirming that he loves, cares, and will not leave even when darkness obscures the way.
The theme closely echoes Isaiah 43:2, where God promises his presence through waters and fire. Hebrews 13:5 likewise records the assurance that God will never leave or forsake his people. Psalm 23:4 adds a related picture of divine companionship while walking through a dark valley. These passages fit the song’s movement from fear toward confidence without denying the reality of hardship. Its strength lies in the steady repetition of care: trust rests not in easy circumstances, but in the character and faithful presence of Jesus.
