Through the wildest waters and in the
Highest flame You are standing with me
You’re never gonna let me go
In the heat of battle, encircled by
My foe I’ll just keep on dancing
You’re never gonna let me go
You’re never gonna let me go I know,
You’re never gonna let me go
No pow’r on earth can break Your hold
You’re never gonna let me go
[Chorus:]
You won’t let go
You’re never gonna let me go
You won’t let go
You’re never gonna let me go
What can separate me
When You are holding on?
Even death won’t take me
You’re never gonna let me go
I said even death won’t take me
You’re never gonna let me go
[Chorus:]
You won’t let go
You’re never gonna let me go
You won’t let go
You’re never gonna let me go
Because of the Cross the grave has lost its sting
Because of the Cross, You shamed our enemy
Nothing is lost that cannot be redeemed
Because of the Cross, we stand in victory [x2]
You’re never gonna let me go I know
You’re never gonna let me go
No pow’r on earth can break Your hold
You’re never gonna let me go
You’re never gonna let me go
I know You’re never gonna let me go
No pow’r on earth can break Your hold
You’re never gonna let me go
[Chorus:]
You won’t let go
You’re never gonna let me go
You won’t let go
You’re never gonna let me go
"Never Gonna Let Me Go" by Aaron Shust is a powerful and uplifting song that reminds us of God's unwavering love and faithfulness towards us. With its catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics, this song has touched the hearts of many believers and has become a favorite in worship services around the world.
The song begins by acknowledging that no matter what we may face in life, God is always there with us. Through the wildest waters and in the highest flames, He stands by our side, never letting go. This echoes the promise found in Isaiah 43:2, which says, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."
Aaron Shust beautifully expresses the confidence and trust we can have in God, even in the midst of battles and challenges. He sings, "In the heat of battle, encircled by my foe, I'll just keep on dancing. You're never gonna let me go." This reminds me of the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, where David courageously faced the giant with the assurance that God was fighting alongside him. This song encourages us to keep on dancing, to keep on persevering and trusting in God's strength, knowing that He will never let us go.
The chorus of the song reinforces this message of God's unfailing love and faithfulness. It declares, "You won't let go, You're never gonna let me go." This echoes the words of Jesus in John 10:28, where He says, "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand." These words remind us that as believers, we are securely held in the loving hands of our Heavenly Father, and nothing can separate us from His love.
The bridge of the song brings our attention to the cross and the victory that Jesus won for us. It proclaims, "Because of the Cross, the grave has lost its sting. Because of the Cross, You shamed our enemy. Nothing is lost that cannot be redeemed. Because of the Cross, we stand in victory." This is a powerful reminder of the hope and salvation we have through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. It reflects the truth found in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, which says, "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
"Never Gonna Let Me Go" is a song that encourages and reassures us of God's faithfulness, love, and victory in our lives. It reminds us to trust in Him, even when we face challenges and difficulties. As we listen to this song, let it be a reminder of the promises found in Scripture and a source of strength and encouragement in our journey of faith.
