“I love making music you can move and groove to,” she says, “but at the same time, as Christian artists we have a responsibility to speak the truth in love.”
A singer of incredible grace, power and control as well as a gifted songwriter, she has put together with Dove Award-winning producer Ian Eskelin a debut CD that is as fresh and vibrant as any in recent years. Entitled You Got My Attention and set for release on Fervent Records this summer, the project combines the soul and urban pop influences that infuse her musical approach with elevating vocals in service to intelligently uplifting lyrics.
Nothin' You Won't Do
Dara Maclean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew what I was supposed to say
But I, I didn't know a thin'
Deep down, I didn't think that I was good enough
Some days I still think that I can earn Your love
I'm free but it's like I still feel the chains, oh
Doin' what You do, chasin' me, lovin' me
You ain't afraid to move the universe just to prove
Yeah, that if I was the only one here on the planet
You would still send Your Son
'Cause You couldn't stand it
To see me anywhere but next You
Ain't nothin' that You won't do
You would follow me to any place
So why would I ever run away?
I know nothin' can separate
Your love has stolen all my history
And now You are my new identity
I'm Yours and that ain't never gonna change
'Cause there You go, there You go
Doin' what You do, chasin' me, lovin' me
You ain't afraid to move the universe just to prove
Yeah, that if I was the only one here on the planet
You would still send Your Son
'Cause You couldn't stand it
To see me anywhere but next You
Ain't nothin' that You won't do
There's no one like You
Nothin' more true
No one loves me like You do
There You go, there You go
Doin' what You do, chasin' me, lovin' me
You ain't afraid to move the universe just to prove
Yeah, that if I was the only one here on the planet
You would still send Your Son
'Cause You couldn't stand it
To see me anywhere but next You
Ain't nothin' that You won't do
Ain't nothin' that You won't do
Nothin' that You won't do
In the song "Nothin' You Won't Do" by Dara Maclean, the singer talks about her past struggles with accepting God's love and grace. She confesses that even though she knew what she was supposed to say about God's love, deep down, she didn't feel good enough for it. She still feels the weight of her past mistakes as if she is still in chains. But God's love and grace continue to pursue her, no matter where she goes, proving that there is nothing He won't do for her.
The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the idea that God will stop at nothing to show His love for us. If we were the only ones on the planet, He would still send his Son because He couldn't stand the thought of us being anywhere but next to Him. He would follow us to any place, and there is nothing that He wouldn't do for us. With this assurance, the singer knows that nothing can separate her from God's love.
Overall, the song is about the unconditional love and grace of God, even amidst our doubts and insecurities. It is a reminder that no matter what we do or where we go, God's love will always pursue us and there is nothing that can separate us from it.

I used to talk about Your grace
I used to speak about Your mercy and favor
I knew what I was supposed to say
I was familiar with the right things to say
But I, I didn't know a thin'
But I didn't understand or truly know it deep down
Deep down, I didn't think that I was good enough
Inside, I felt inadequate and unworthy
Some days I still think that I can earn Your love
Occasionally I still consider that I can earn Your affection
I'm free but it's like I still feel the chains, oh
Although I am liberated, I still feel constrained in some way
There You go, there You go
You are doing what You always do
Doin' what You do, chasin' me, lovin' me
Pursuing and loving me all the time
You ain't afraid to move the universe just to prove
You are not hesitant to do whatever it takes to demonstrate
Yeah, that if I was the only one here on the planet
Even if I was the only person left in the world
You would still send Your Son
You would still send Jesus Christ to save me
'Cause You couldn't stand it
'Cause You couldn't bear to see me apart from You
To see me anywhere but next You
To see me in any place apart from beside You
Ain't nothin' that You won't do
There is nothing You wouldn't do for me
You would follow me to any place
You would follow me anywhere I go
So why would I ever run away?
So why would I ever choose to flee from You?
I know nothin' can separate
I am sure nothing can divide us
Your love has stolen all my history
Your love has taken away my past, my history of wrongs
And now You are my new identity
And now You are who I am identified with
I'm Yours and that ain't never gonna change
I belong to You and nothing will ever alter that
There's no one like You
There is no one comparable to You
Nothin' more true
No truth is truer than Your love
No one loves me like You do
No one loves me as deeply as You do
Ain't nothin' that You won't do
There is nothing You wouldn't do for me
Nothin' that You won't do
There is nothing You wouldn't do for me
