Though I walk through the valley
All the shadows fall
Your promise to me
You are always holding on
And when the burden is heavy
And my legs get weak
Your promise to me
You are always holding on
Your goodness is chasing me down
Your goodness is chasing me down
Your goodness is chasing me down
When the night gets dark
And when the fight gets long
No I won't lose heart
'Cause You are always holding on
And when the fear gets loud
I'm gonna stand my ground
And let love drown it out
'Cause You are always holding on
I can stand in the fire
You know I won't get burned
'Cause with an army of angels
You are always holding on
And that devil's a liar
And his time is up
And at the end of my story
You are always holding on
When the night gets dark
And when the fight gets long
No I won't lose heart
'Cause You are always holding on
And when the fear gets loud
I'm gonna stand my ground
And let love drown it out
'Cause You are always holding on
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, no
Your goodness is chasing me down
Your goodness is chasing me down
Your goodness is chasing me down
Your goodness is chasing me down
Your goodness is chasing me down
Your goodness is chasing me down
Your goodness is chasing me down
Your goodness is chasing me
When the night gets dark
And when the fight gets long
No I won't lose heart
'Cause You are always holding on
And when the fear gets loud
I'm gonna stand my ground
And let love drown it out
'Cause You are always holding on
"Always Holding On" by Brandon Lake is a powerful and inspiring song that speaks to the unwavering love and faithfulness of God. It is a reminder that no matter what we face in life, God is always holding on to us, guiding us through every valley and darkness we encounter.
The song begins with the lyrics, "Though I walk through the valley, All the shadows fall, Your promise to me, You are always holding on." This immediately sets the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing the idea that even in the midst of difficult times, God's promise to never leave or forsake us stands firm. This aligns with the scripture verse in Psalm 23:4, which says, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
As the song continues, it speaks of the burdens we carry and the moments when our strength falters. However, it reassures us that God is always holding on to us, never letting us fall. This echoes the verse in Isaiah 41:10, which says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
The chorus of the song beautifully expresses the relentless pursuit of God's goodness in our lives. It declares, "Your goodness is chasing me down, Your goodness is chasing me down." This emphasizes the overwhelming and unending love of God, who constantly seeks to bless us and shower us with His goodness. It brings to mind the verse in Psalm 23:6, which says, "Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."
The bridge of the song shifts the focus to the victory we have in Christ. It declares that we can stand in the fire and not be burned because God is always holding on to us. This echoes the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3, where they were thrown into a fiery furnace but were protected by God's presence. It reminds us that no matter what trials we face, we can trust in God's faithfulness and His power to deliver us.
Overall, "Always Holding On" is a song that speaks to the deep and intimate relationship we have with God. It reminds us of His constant presence in our lives and His unwavering love and faithfulness. Through its lyrics, it encourages us to hold on to hope, stand firm in our faith, and trust in God's goodness. It is a powerful anthem of worship and a reminder to never lose heart because God is always holding on to us.
So, let this song resonate in your heart and be a source of encouragement and strength as you journey through life.
