Let Me Go
Nicole C. Mullen's 'Let Me Go' is a powerful declaration of freedom from fear, personified as 'Mr. Fear.' The song recounts how fear once held the singer captive, blinding her to true love. But real love, represented by God's love, came and confronted that fear, opening her eyes and setting her free. She now boldly tells fear to leave, reminding it that she belongs to Love now. The lyrics use a conversational, almost confrontational tone to illustrate the spiritual battle between fear and God's perfect love, ultimately celebrating the victory and peace found in Christ.
See I can still remember when
You said you were my only friend
Yeah Mr. Fear you captured me
I was blinded and couldn't see
That real love was bound to come
And confront what I was running from
(He) opened up my eyes and let me know
That I don't need you no mo'
Let me go, oh let me go
Yeah let me go
Oh let me go, go
Time to time I must remind you
That we're not tight the way we used to
Before you tell me what you came for
Turn and walk out that door
Mr. Love now resides here
He's strong enough to case out Fear
And since I don't belong to you no more
Take your Hand off my shoulder
