Lyrics

I CAN'T GET AWAY:


Oh where, where can I run


Where can I hide


That You're not there


And You, You know my heart


All of my thoughts


You understand


I can’t outrun Your love


I can’t outrun Your love


I can’t outrun Your love


I can’t outrun Your love


You love me when I’m up


You love me when I’m down


Your love it surrounds me


I can’t get away


You love me when I’m lost


You love me till I’m found


Your love it surrounds me


I can’t get away


Oh You, You see my mess


All my mistakes


And You love me still


And though, though I may waver


I am convinced


That You never change


I can’t outrun Your love


I can’t outrun Your love


I can’t outrun Your love


I can’t outrun Your love


You love me when I’m up


You love me when I’m down


Your love it surrounds me


I can’t get away


You love me when I’m lost


You love me till I’m found


Your love it surrounds me


I can’t get away


I can't get away, I can't run away (Oh, I can't get away, no)


I’ve been to the bottom


I’ve been to the top


I can’t run away


Your love will never stop


With me in the morning


In the dead of night


You're not leaving, oh


I’ve been to the bottom


I’ve been to the top


I can’t run away


Your love will never stop


With me in the morning


In the dead of night


You're not leaving, I’ve been


I’ve been to the bottom


I’ve been to the top, oh


I can’t run away


Your love will never stop


With me in the morning


In the dead of night


You're not leaving


Oh, so I'm not leaving


No, You're not leaving


So I'm not leaving


No


You love me


You love me when I’m up (You love me)


You love me when I’m down (Your love surrounds me)


Your love it surrounds me (I can’t get away)


I can’t get away


You love me


You love me when I'm lost (Oh God You love me)


You love me till I'm found (Your love surrounds me)


Your love it surrounds me (I can't get away)


I can't get away (I can't get away)


Oh, I can’t get away (I can’t get away)


Nothing I can do, no


I can’t get away (I can’t get away)


I can’t get away (Oh I can’t get away)


Oh


I’ve been to the bottom


I’ve been to the top


I can’t run away


Your love will never stop


You’re with me in the morning


In the dead of night


You're not leaving


I’ve been to the bottom


I’ve been to the top


I can’t run away


Your love will never stop


You’re with me in the morning


In the dead of night


You're not leaving


I could run to the highest high, You’re there


If I go down to the lowest low, You’re there


Yeah, You’re there


Everywhere I go I find You


Everywhere I run, You’re there God (Yeah)


Everywhere I go I find You


And everywhere I run, You’re there


You’re there


I can’t outrun You


You’re there


I can’t outrun You


‘Cause You’re still there


I can’t outrun You


You’re there


I can’t outrun You


Everytime I turn around You’re still there


Oh, You’re still there


Oh, how grateful I am


Oh, how grateful I am


That You love me, in the middle of my mess


You still love me, You still love me


Oh, and nothing catches You off guard


Nothing catches You by surprise


Nothing catches You off guard


Nothing catches You by surprise

DOWNPOUR:


Thank You Jesus


We stand in the downpour


We just settle and stand in the downpour


As You wash away shame


And You wash away insignificance and inadequacy


And we stand in the light of Your love


We stand in the downpour God


What kind of crazy love is this


We stand in the downpour of Your affection


Let this be a reminder of just how much I love you


Just how much I love you, I do


So let this be your reminder of just how much I love you


Just how much I love you, I do


I do, I do


Oh baby I do


Remember how much I do


Remember just how much I do


Remember how much I do


Remember just how much I do, ooh


‘Cause I do, always remember


‘Cause I do, I do


Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do


I won’t stop saying it until you get it


I do, you are Mine, I do


I love you, I love you, I do


Yeah, I love you, I love you


I love you, I love you, I do


I love you, I love you


I love you, I love you, I do


Yes I love you, I love you

Yeah, I love you, I love you


I love, I love you, I do


Nothing can separate you

Nothing can snatch you from My hand

Meaning & Inspiration

I Can’t Get Away and Downpour unfolds as an extended meditation on the inescapable presence and love of God. The opening movement admits failure, uncertainty, and emotional extremes, yet repeatedly returns to the conviction that divine love remains near. Images of the highest height, the lowest depth, morning, and night closely echo the language of Psalm 139. Presence is not portrayed as surveillance or threat, but as faithful companionship that persists through every change.

Downpour develops that assurance through the image of cleansing rain. Shame, guilt, insignificance, and inadequacy are placed beneath a declaration of love that does not withdraw. The repeated assurances suggest a worship setting in which truth is allowed to answer persistent fear. This emphasis also aligns with the biblical claim that nothing can separate believers from the love of God and that no one can snatch them from the hand of Christ. Across both movements, repetition serves the central confession: divine presence remains, divine love continues, and human weakness does not catch God by surprise.
