No Matter What
Ryan Stevenson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A lot of us grew up believing
At any moment we could lose it all
And at the drop of a hat
God might turn His back and move on
A lot of us feel like we blew it
Thinking that we're just too far gone
But I want you to know
There's still a hope for you now

No matter what you've done
You can't erase His love
Nothing can change it
You're not separated
No matter what

There's never been a better time to get honest
There's never been a better time to get clean
So come as you are
Run to the cross and be free
Oh, be free

No matter what you've done
You can't erase His love
Nothing can change it
You're not separated
No matter where you run
He's always holding on
You're still a daughter, you're still a son
No matter what

I don't know what you've been taught
Don't know what you've been told
All I know is my God
Will never let go of you, no
And I don't know what you've seen
Don't know what you've been through
All I know is my God
Will never let go of you
He'll never let go!
He'll never, never, never let you go

No matter what you've done
You can't erase His love
Nothing can change it
You're not separated
No matter where you run
He's always holding on
You're still a daughter, you're still a son
No matter what





You're still a daughter, you're still a son!
No matter what

Overall Meaning

The song "No Matter What" by Ryan Stevenson deals with the theme of hope and forgiveness in the face of guilt, shame, and fear. The lyrics aim to inspire people who feel like they have lost everything and have distanced themselves from God. The opening lines talk about the fear of losing everything at any moment, including God's grace, but the chorus reassures the listener that nothing can separate them from God's love, regardless of what they have done or how far they have gone. The song encourages people to be honest with themselves, to turn away from their mistakes, and to come back to the cross to overcome their burdens and find freedom.


The song's message is universal and relatable to anyone who has ever felt lost, alone, or disconnected from their faith. One of the most significant takeaways from the song is the idea that our mistakes do not define us, and we are always forgiven, no matter what we have done. The symbolism of the cross as a place of redemption and liberation is powerful and serves as a reminder that there is always a chance for renewal and transformation.

@04DynaGlyde

Amen!

Just ask for FORGIVENESS and REPENT/TURN FROM any and ALL WRONG/SIN. Then look fordward to what Christ Jesus has instore for YOU. Do it out of love and obedience to Him.

Then live out and show love and forgiveness towards others who are battling with something.

Point people to The (ONLY) Way, The Truth and The Life!

John 14:6
