You Won't Let Go - Michael W. Smith

The Experience: Neither life, neither death, the highest high, the deepest depth, nothing can, nothing can separate ... One of the things we look for in love is security. We want someone who will never let go...

Music Video: Still waiting. The background imaging for the lyric video is an ocean shot, taken from the anchor's point of view.

The Meaning of You Won't Let Go: Every human love fails. Even the best of loves has to be patched back together once in a while. Other can fail big time. Lots of them do. We've seen it happen. Michael W. Smith sings about the anchor for my soul that everyone wants: someone to trust, someone who will never fail you. But Smith actually thinks it's possible... if God's the one you trust in.

Ask Yourself: Do you have an anchor? Will they ever fail you?

LYRICS:

No shadow comes without the light making a way
No raging storm can ever defy one word of faith
My heart remains sure in the wind, sure in the waves

You are the anchor for my soul
You won't let go
You won't let go
No matter what may come I know
You won't let go
You won't let go

No valley low, changes the truth
So I'm not afraid
You hold me close
You lead me through and light up the way

Neither life, neither death,
The highest high, the deepest depth
Nothing can
Nothing can separate
Neither tears, neither trial 
Certain as the sun will rise
Nothing can
Nothing can separate

My heart remains sure in the wind, sure in the waves, always
