Lyrics
Chorus: There is no trial that He can't bring me through.
There is no tunnel that he can't bring light to.
Though I feel like giving up, in christ I shall maintain
Because or my faith in God, my joy shall remain
Trials worketh patience and patience worketh hope
In spite of my situation, I won't let go
There is no problem I know that God can't solve
When I get into it, He's already Involved
Though I feel like givin up, in christ I shall maintain
Because or my faith in God, my joy shall remain
Trials worketh patience and patience worketh hope
In spite of my situation, I won't let go
(verse) You may be weary and feel you can't go on my friend take courage, in Christ you must be strong
Though I feel like givin up, in christ I shall maintain
Because or my faith in God, my joy shall remain
Trials worketh patience and patience worketh hope
In spite of my situationn, I won't let go
No I won't let go- No, no I won't let go (4x)
I was locked in jail - shackled me
Then your blood - Set me free
for the rest of my days - Honor thee
I've got it, I've got it - Ive got victory
son of man - called my name
then your blood - broke the chains
with the word of God - his story
I've got it, I've got it - I've got victory

Meaning & Inspiration
“I Won’t Let Go” frames perseverance as trust in God during trials rather than denial of hardship. The refrain names weariness, discouragement, and difficult circumstances, yet answers each pressure with confidence that God can bring light, solve what seems impossible, and preserve joy. Its repeated refusal to let go gives the song a steady testimony of faith under strain.
The line linking trials, patience, and hope closely echoes Romans 5, where suffering produces endurance, character, and hope. Later images of shackles, blood, freedom, and victory shift from present trouble to redemption in Christ. Those images also recall the New Testament description of release and forgiveness through Christ’s blood. The lyric’s encouragement to remain strong in Christ therefore rests on two connected convictions: hardship can produce endurance, and salvation has already broken the strongest chains. Persistence is portrayed not as self-reliance but as confidence in God’s involvement and sustaining power.
