You Never Let Go Of Me

(Verse 1)

I was raised on Sunday mornings

Sittin’ quiet, takin’ it in

Every word felt like a promise

Every song pulled me in

I knew the verses, knew the stories

Felt that fire in my bones

Back when faith came easy

Back when I was all Your own

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

But I started driftin’ slow

Didn’t even feel it go

⸻

(Chorus)

I walked away, I chose my sin

Traded Your truth for the world I was in

I lost myself tryin’ to feel alive

But You never left my side

I hit the ground, You pulled me through

Every lie I believed, You broke in two

I let You go, but now I see—

You never let go of me

⸻

(Verse 2)

In my twenties I went runnin’

After anything that burned

Chasin’ highs that left me empty

Every lesson left unlearned

I called it freedom, called it livin’

But I was shackled deep inside

Drownin’ truth in my addiction

Just to numb what I denied

⸻

(Pre-Chorus - tension builds)

Every road I took alone

Still somehow led me home

⸻

(Chorus)

I walked away, I chose my sin

Traded Your truth for the world I was in

I lost myself tryin’ to feel alive

But You never left my side

I hit the ground, You pulled me through

Every lie I believed, You broke in two

I let You go, but now I see—

You never let go of me

⸻

(Bridge - turning point – reflection, surrender)

Fifty years and I was worn out

Every answer led to dust

All the things I thought would save me

Only showed me who I was

Then I heard it in the silence

Like a voice I used to know

“Son, I always stayed beside you—

I was waitin’ for you to come home”

⸻

(Break / Build)

Right there in that broken place

I finally said Your name

⸻

(Final Chorus - BIG – full band / choir feel)

I walked away, I chose my sin

Traded Your truth for the world I was in

I lost myself tryin’ to feel alive

But You never left my side

I hit the ground, You pulled me through

Every lie I believed, You broke in two

I let You go, but now I see—

You never let go of me

(Outro)

I’m not who I was back then

Grace rewrote the way it ends

All the roads that led me wrong

Led me right where I belong

Now I stand with open hands

Right back where it all began

Only difference now I know—

Is... You never let me go
