Song Meaning

Jack Cassidy's "Let Go, Let God" opens with fairly violent language for a worship song — struck down, knocked out, held down by the enemy's lies — before pivoting to the specific claim that struck the singer down was a false identity, not just external pressure. "I found my life when I laid it down" plays on a paradox found throughout the gospels, that clinging to control is what costs a person their life while surrendering it is what secures it, and the song treats that paradox as something learned in real time rather than already mastered — "I'm learning to let go" repeats rather than "I have let go." The line about an easy yoke and light burden borrows Jesus's own words to weary crowds, and pairing it with "my daily bread and my daily delight" ties ongoing dependence to ongoing provision rather than a one-time rescue. The bridge's "chains are breaking" after "too long, too long" gives the song a sense of a threshold finally being crossed after prolonged hurt, not an instant fix.

My fear got me struck down 

Got me knocked out

By the hands of the enemy

Those lies had me held down 

Till I found out

That is not my identity

I found my life when I laid it down 

And all my hope is in You now

My faith is in You Jesus


I'm learning to let go and let God

Show me how to be me

I'm learning to let go and let God

Show me how to be free

Your yoke is easy

Your burden is light

My daily bread and my daily delight

I'm learning to let go and let God

So I can be the real me


I’m giving over my heart

For a new start

Cause I’ve come to the end of me

I’m learning that in Your love

There is freedom 

Even for a wretch like me

I found my life when I laid it down

And all my hope is in You now

My faith is in You Jesus


I'm learning to let go and let God

Show me how to be me

I'm learning to let go and let God

Show me how to be free

Your yoke is easy

Your burden is light

My daily bread and my daily delight

I'm learning to let go and let God

So I can be the real me


I’ve been hurting 

I’ve been burdened

Too long too long

Fear is falling

Chains are breaking

So long so long


I’ve been hurting 

I’ve been burdened

Too long too long

Fear is falling

Chains are breaking

So long so long


Let go let God

Let go let God

Let go let God

Let go and let God


I'm learning to let go and let God

Show me how to be me

I'm learning to let go and let God

Show me how to be free

Your yoke is easy

Your burden is light

My daily bread and my daily delight

I'm learning to let go and let God

So I can be the real me


Let go let God

Let go let God

Let go let God

So I can be the real me
