Dream In Soul – Creativity for the Kingdom:

“As soon as I stop worrying / Worrying how the story ends
When I let go and I let God / Let God have His way
That’s when things start happening / When I stop looking at back then
When I let go and I let God / Let God have His way…”
Lyrics by PJ Morton

Another version of “Let Go, Let God” is featured on PJ Morton’s most recent album, Walk Alone, a refreshing blend of “soulful pop.”

Walk Alone Description From His Website
“…Walk Alone symbolizes the breadth of PJ’s self-expression as well as his creative choices with music beyond the confines of labels. “In the state of the world I feel alone because of the way I choose to do music with true instrumentation. Creating stories and lyrics with meaning feels like a minority not a majority.”
