Where can I run from Your presence?
Where can I flee from You?
Even if I hide on the highest mountain
You are there
Where can I run from Your presence?
Where can I flee from You?
Even if I lie in the lowest valley
You will find me there
Deeper than any ocean
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Higher than any mountain
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Your love goes on and on and on and on
And if I clothe myself in shadow
Would I fade away from You?
No, even if I fall to the deepest darkness
Love surrounds me still
No, even if I fall to the deepest darkness
Your love surrounds me still
Deeper than any ocean
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Higher than any mountain
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Deeper than any ocean
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Higher than any mountain
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Your love goes on and on and on and on
There is no ending to Your
Love that holds on and won't let go
Love that won't leave me on my own
I'm falling deeper into Your
Love that holds on and won't let go
Love that won't leave me on my own
There is no ending to Your
Love that holds on and won't let go
Love that won't leave me on my own
I'm falling deeper into Your
Love that holds on and won't let go
Love that won't leave me on my own
Deeper than any ocean
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Higher than any mountain
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Deeper than any ocean
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Higher than any mountain
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Your love goes on and on
Your love goes on and on and on and on
Your love goes on
Your love goes on and on
Your love goes on
Love, don't let me go, don't let go
Love, don't let me go, don't let go
Love, don't let me go, don't let go
Love, don't let me go, don't let go
There's nowhere I could run
There's nowhere I could hide
There's nowhere I could go that You won't find me, Lord
There's nowhere I could run
There's nowhere I could hide
There's nowhere I could go that You won't find me, Lord
There's nowhere I could run
There's nowhere I could hide
There's nowhere I could go that You won't find me, Lord
There's nowhere I could run
There's nowhere I could hide
There's nowhere I could go that You won't find me, Lord
Love, don't let me go, don't let go
Love, don't let me go, don't let go
Love, don't let me go, don't let go
Love, don't let me go, don't let go
"On And On" by Housefires is a powerful worship song that speaks to the unending love and presence of God in our lives. With its captivating melody and heartfelt lyrics, it reminds us that no matter where we go or what we do, God's love is always with us, going on and on.
The song begins with the question, "Where can I run from Your presence? Where can I flee from You?" These words immediately bring to mind Psalm 139:7-10, which says, "Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me."
This verse beautifully captures the message of the song – that there is nowhere we can go where God's love and presence won't find us. Whether we are on the highest mountain or in the lowest valley, God is there with us. His love surrounds us even in the deepest darkness, and there is no escaping it.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Deeper than any ocean, Your love goes on and on and on and on, Higher than any mountain, Your love goes on and on and on and on." These words remind us of the vastness and depth of God's love. It is deeper than any ocean and higher than any mountain, and it never ends. It is a love that holds on and won't let go, a love that won't leave us on our own.
As I listen to this song, I am reminded of Romans 8:38-39, which says, "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." These verses affirm the truth that God's love is limitless and cannot be separated from us. It goes on and on, no matter what circumstances we may face.
The bridge of the song cries out, "Love, don't let me go, don't let go." It is a plea for God to hold on to us, to never let us go. It is a recognition that we need His love and presence in our lives, and we are desperate for Him to remain with us.
The song concludes with the declaration, "There's nowhere I could run, there's nowhere I could hide, there's nowhere I could go that You won't find me, Lord." This line beautifully captures the essence of the entire song – that no matter where we go or what we do, God is always with us. His love is constant and unending, and it will always find us.
"On And On" by Housefires is a beautiful reminder of God's unfailing love and presence in our lives. It encourages us to trust in Him, knowing that His love goes on and on, deeper than any ocean and higher than any mountain. May this song be a source of comfort and assurance, reminding us that we are never alone, and God's love will always find us.
