If a character in the Bible were to sing Michael W. Smith’s new song, “You Won’t Let Go,” which character would you choose? That is the thought journey I took this week, and I think you might be surprised at who I came up with.
As always, my goal is not for you to focus on the song’s lyrics as much as where it might point you in Scripture.
In this episode, I discuss:
- Seeking to see the characters in the Bible as REAL people
- My recent experience of “Jonah” at the Sights and Sounds Theatre in Branson, MO
- Not adding to Scripture but allowing meditation and consideration to bring characters to life in our minds
- Could Paul sing this song?
- Romans 8:38-39
- Could David sing this song?
- Psalm 23
- Could Peter write this song?
- Peter’s sermon in Acts 2
- A discussion on cross-references
- Psalm 16
Enjoy the official lyric video below.

This Week’s Challenge
Start with Peter’s sermon in Acts chapter 2 to understand the cross-reference to Psalm 16. Study Psalm 16 this week and consider it in the voice of Jesus.
