Unchanging One
Todd Agnew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I looked for love in every single situation
For something, someone
That would last a lifetime, a love that never dies
And I find
CHORUS
You know when I wake, when I rise, when I pray, when I curse You
And You know when I stumble and fall, and You're there through it all
The only unchanging one
I looked for faith on the edge of my roof
No fear, daddy's here
Still I struggle to trust You with the rest of my life
When I could just fly
CHORUS
You know when I wake, when I rise, when I pray, when I curse You
And You love me the same
And You know when I stumble and fall, and You're there through it all
The only unchanging one
I looked for God…
You know my inmost being
You know my deepest scars
You know my darkest secrets
You know and You love and You love
Todd Agnew's song Unchanging One is a powerful expression of the human search for love, faith, and God. The opening line of the song sets the tone for the message that the singer is conveying. The line "I looked for love in every single situation" highlights the universal quest for love that most humans experience throughout their lives. The singer acknowledges that they have searched for someone or something that would last a lifetime and never die but have not found it. However, in the chorus, the singer recognizes that God is the only unchanging one who has been there for them through all of their ups and downs.
The second verse of the song also speaks to the singer's struggle with faith. The line "still I struggle to trust You with the rest of my life when I could just fly" conveys that the singer has doubts and fears even with the security of a father's presence. This line is particularly powerful because it suggests that the singer is contemplating taking their life, as a metaphor for giving up their faith, rather than trusting God. The chorus ends on an optimistic note, as the singer acknowledges that God knows them intimately, including their inmost being and darkest secrets, and still loves them unconditionally.
Overall, Todd Agnew's song Unchanging One speaks to the human search for love, faith, and God, and how God is the only unchanging presence throughout our lives. The song is a reminder that, despite the struggles and doubts we may face, we can rely on God's unchanging love and faithfulness.

I had been searching for this song after hearing it only once on the radio. Today, years later, I heard it for the second time; as I was headed to the doctor to discuss the need of a hysterectomy to avoid cancer spread. I was able to get that deep cry out that my heart was longing for, and then I was able to find my rest in the arm's of the LORD. God had saved this song for me when I would need it most. He is a perfect and on-time God. The only unchanging one.
