Once I was lost
Wandering in darkness
No life inside
No hope in sight
He called my name
He healed my blindness
Set me ablaze
Now I'm alive with
His love breaking through my heart of stone
Love breathing to awake my bones
Love reaching out to save my soul
Love never gonna let me go
Love calling me as I am
Love making me new again
Love lifting me when I can't
Love never gonna let me go
And now my heart
So full of worship
I can't hold back
I can't contain it
For all He's done
Jesus my Saviour
I am ablaze
And full of thanks for
His love breaking through my heart of stone
Love breathing to awake my bones
Love reaching out to save my soul
Love never gonna let me go
Love calling me as I am
Love making me new again
Love lifting me when I can't
Love never gonna let me go
Wherever you've been
Whatever you've done
Come as you are
Come into His open arms
Wherever you've been
Whatever you've done
Come as you are
Come find His love
Breaking through my heart of stone
Love breathing to awake my bones
Love reaching out to save my soul
Love never gonna let me go
Love calling me as I am
Love making me new again
Love lifting me when I can't
Love never gonna let me go
Your love breaking through my heart of stone
Love breathing to awake my bones
Love reaching out to save my soul
Love never gonna let me go
Love calling me as I am
Love making me new again
Love lifting me when I can't
Love never gonna let me go
Love never gonna let me go
Your love never gonna let me go
Wherever you've been
Whatever you've done
Come as you are
Come into His open arms
Wherever you've been
Whatever you've done
Come as you are
Come find His love
"Never Gonna Let Me Go" by Passion is a powerful song that speaks to the unending and unwavering love of God. The lyrics beautifully convey the message of God's love breaking through our hardened hearts and transforming us into new creations.
The song begins with the acknowledgment of our lostness and darkness without God. It paints a picture of a life without hope and purpose. But then, the lyrics take a turn as they introduce the life-changing moment when Jesus called our name and healed our blindness. This is a reference to the moment of salvation when we accept Jesus as our Savior and experience His redeeming power in our lives.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of God's love never letting us go. It speaks of His love breaking through our heart of stone, breathing life into our bones, and reaching out to save our souls. This imagery is reminiscent of several verses in the Bible that highlight God's relentless pursuit of His people.
One verse that relates to the theme of the song is found in Romans 8:38-39, which says, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." This verse reassures us that nothing can separate us from God's love once we are in Christ. His love is constant and unchanging, just as the song suggests.
Another verse that resonates with the message of the song is found in Isaiah 43:1, where God declares, "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine." This verse reminds us that God knows us intimately and has called us by name. He claims us as His own and promises to never let us go. This truth is beautifully expressed in the song when it speaks of Jesus calling our name and healing our blindness.
The bridge of the song invites us to come as we are, no matter where we have been or what we have done. It encourages us to approach God with open arms, knowing that His love is always available to us. This echoes the invitation given by Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30, where He says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." This verse reminds us that God accepts us as we are and offers us rest and peace in His presence.
In conclusion, "Never Gonna Let Me Go" by Passion is a beautiful song that captures the essence of God's unending love for us. The lyrics, inspired by biblical truths, remind us that God's love breaks through our darkness, calls us by name, and never lets us go. It encourages us to come to God as we are and find rest in His loving arms. May this song serve as a reminder of God's faithfulness and love in our lives.
