You Never Let Go
Matt Redman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won't turn back
I know You are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
Oh, You never let go, You never let go
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
You never let, You never let go
You never let go of me
The first verse of "You Never Let Go" accurately describes the Christian faith's "valley of the shadow of death". Christians believe that the journey of life is fraught with difficulties and obstacles, and can feel like walking through a dark valley, with death looming as a shadow. The song explicitly acknowledges that this journey is challenging, and fears are genuine, but it also emphasizes the role of God in helping believers overcome them. The song expresses the idea that God's perfect love for his people is what casts out fear, and that regardless of the struggles in this earthly life, they can count on God's nearness and faithful presence.
The chorus is meant to remind believers that they can survive anything with God on their side. The lyrics demonstrate faith that God is all-powerful and protective, and there is no need to fear evil or anything else when they are in his care. The singer confirms that God never lets go and is present through both the highs and lows. This assurance of God's unwavering love and support encourages listeners in moments of doubt or weakness, providing them with the essential hope to hold on.
The second verse talks about the future hope that Christians have, where one day there will be an end to all troubles. However, until then, believers will praise God and live to know him more on this earth. The song reminds us that no matter what challenges life brings, and how we might feel at times, God is always faithful, present, and will never let go of us.

I am only 11 but I’ve grown up with Jesus, and when I was 8 I got baptized and saved. Some say that was to early, but I had chose to turn my live over to God and Jesus. Just recently I’ve been through A LOT, which was mostly my parents getting divorce, so I prayed and read the gospel and continued to go to church that made everything so much better. God helped me through it all. I love him so much
