Let Go
Holly Starr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But, oh Lord, I am now prepared
You are the one who brought my dust to life
Like a rose in the desert
I know that I've held on too long
To everything keeping me from
Learning to let go
Move me closer to a heart that's open
I'm learning to let go
I'm learning to let go
Lord, I know that you've called me to this place
Where your eyes are teaching me grace
I can't see where I'm going but I will believe
That you're never gonna leave
You're always holding me
I know that I've held on too long
To everything keeping me from
Learning to let go
Learning to let you…
Move me closer to a heart that's open
I'm learning to let go
I'm learning to let go
No, there's nothing I own
All you've designed so beautifully so
Oh please, help me let go
‘Cause you're in control
I know that I've held on too long
To everything keeping me from
Learning to let go
Learning to let you…
Move me closer to a heart that's open
I'm learning to let go
I'm learning to let go
Learning to let go
Learning to let go
The song Let Go by Holly Starr is an introspective plea to God to release her from her hold on the things of this world and to learn to let go of them. The lyrics express her acknowledgement of the need to let go of everything that is keeping her from drawing closer to God and to have a more open heart towards Him. Through the song, she acknowledges that she is holding on too long and surrendering everything that she considers hers to His control.
The lines "You are the one who brought my dust to life/Like a rose in the desert" are a reference to the account of creation in the Bible, where God breathed life into man from dust in the desert. The song's metaphor of a rose blossoming in the desert is a representation of God's ability to bring beauty from barrenness. The song's message resonates with people who have a deep desire to let go of their struggles and rely on God's strength to sustain them through hardships.
