Promise Keepers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the source of life and I can't be left behind
No one else will do and I will take hold of You

I need You Jesus, come to my rescue
Where else can I go?
There's no other name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace, I will follow You

You are the source of life, I can't be left behind
No one else will do and I will take hold of You, yeah

I need You Jesus, come to my rescue
Where else can I go?
There's no other name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace

'Cause I need You, Jesus to come to my rescue
Where else can I go?
There's no other name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace, I will follow You, I will follow You

This world has nothing for me, this world has nothing for me
This world has nothing for me, I will follow You
This world has nothing for me, I will follow You
This world has nothing for me, go follow You
This world has nothing for me

I need You Jesus, come to my rescue
Oh, where else can I go?
There's no other name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace

'Cause I need You, Jesus to come to my rescue
Tell me where else can I go?
There's no other name by which I am saved
Won't You capture me with grace?
Won't You capture me with grace? Capture me with grace

I will follow You, this world there's nothing for me

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are a prayer to Jesus for salvation and guidance. The singer recognizes that Jesus is the source of life and that they cannot be left behind by Him. No one else can provide what Jesus can, and the singer is determined to take hold of Him. The chorus repeats the need for Jesus to rescue the singer, and the acknowledgement that there is no other name by which they can be saved.

The bridge emphasizes the singer's rejection of the material world and their commitment to follow Jesus. The repetition of "this world has nothing for me" underscores the idea that worldly possessions and desires are irrelevant compared to the spiritual fulfillment that comes from following Jesus. The final plea for Jesus to capture the singer with grace is a recognition of their own shortcomings and need for divine intervention.
