Hanan Barth Announces New Worship Single ‘Won’t Let Go’ Inspired By Jacob’s Wrestle With God
Hanan Barth Announces New Worship Single ‘Won’t Let Go’ Inspired By Jacob’s Wrestle With God. Hillsong Africa Worship Team leader Hanan Barth is preparing to release a new worship single, Won’t Let Go, a song inspired by Jacob’s encounter with God and the struggles that often shape a believer’s walk of faith.
In a heartfelt message introducing the song, Hanan Barth reflected on how the biblical account of Jacob wrestling with God speaks to the difficult moments many believers experience, from unanswered prayers and seasons of waiting to lingering doubts and the hard questions that arise when life does not unfold as expected.
Rather than presenting these struggles as something to escape, Won’t Let Go explores how they can become moments of deeper encounter with God and personal transformation.
“Sometimes the wrestle is exhausting, and it feels easier to let go,” Hanan Barth shared. “But what if the best outcome isn’t to escape the wrestle?”
The worship leader went on to reflect on how God meets people in the middle of their struggles, not to defeat them, but to change them.
“God meets us in our tensions, choosing to wrestle with us, not to defeat us, but to transform us. Like Jacob, we walk away changed, marked, blessed, and seeing things differently.”
At its heart, Won’t Let Go is a reminder that faith does not always mean having every answer or finding an immediate resolution. Sometimes, it means remaining close to God through uncertainty and trusting Him in the very moments that test our faith.
Through Jacob’s story, Barth points to the possibility of encountering God in the middle of life’s most difficult questions. The song carries a message of perseverance, inviting believers to see their struggles not simply as obstacles, but as moments in which God can bring about lasting change.
Won’t Let Go is scheduled for release on November 13 and will be available across all major streaming platforms. Listeners can pre-save the upcoming single here: https://release.landr.com/wontletgo.
With this release, Hanan Barth continues to create music that speaks to the realities of following Jesus, making room for both the tensions of faith and the hope found in an ongoing relationship with God.
