Chris August - Faithfully Lyrics
Lyrics
You draw me cause You're holy
Your light will never fade
Even when I run You know the way
To guide me home to You
And love me faithfully
Nothing could compare to the gift You gave
A love that ever shines through the lives You save
Your word, it never fails to help me see
God, You've always loved me faithfully
I'll follow where You lead me
I pray I'll learn Your ways
Even when I run You know the way
To guide me home to You
And love me faithfully
Nothing could compare to the gift You gave
A love that ever shines through the lives You save
Your word, it never fails to help me see
God, You've always loved me faithfully
With our sins wiped away by the blood on the cross
And our lives have changed from the Son that You lost
You're always there to guide me home to You
And love me faithfully
Nothing could compare to the gift You gave
A love that ever shines through the lives You save
Your word, it never fails to help me see
God, You've always loved me faithfully

Meaning & Inspiration
Chris August's "Faithfully," released as a single on June 27, 2025, is a profound declaration of unwavering trust and divine love, resonating deeply with anyone who has experienced the constancy of God's grace. The song is not merely a collection of pleasant words; it’s a deeply spiritual journey, an anthem of surrender that acknowledges our human tendency to stray while celebrating the ceaseless pursuit of a loving Creator. The central theme revolves around God's inherent holiness and the enduring nature of His light, a beacon that never dims, even when we falter. This unwavering divine presence is beautifully articulated through the idea that God "knows the way" to guide us home, regardless of our wanderings. This sentiment echoes passages like Psalm 139:7-10, which asks, "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." The "gift" of divine love mentioned in the lyrics is undeniably the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, a theme powerfully evoked by the line about "our sins wiped away by the blood on the cross." This transformative act, the ultimate expression of God's faithfulness, is the cornerstone of Christian hope, as described in Ephesians 1:7: "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace." The song emphasizes that this love "ever shines through the lives You save," highlighting the ripple effect of God's grace in the lives of believers and the testimony it provides to the world. Furthermore, the assurance that "Your word, it never fails to help me see" speaks to the sufficiency and truth of Scripture, a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, as stated in Psalm 119:105. August’s commitment to following where God leads, praying to learn His ways, is a beautiful mirroring of the disciples' journey and our own call to discipleship. This dedication is rooted in the understanding that God's love is not contingent on our perfection but is a constant, guiding force that draws us back into His embrace. "Faithfully" is an inspiring reminder of the steadfast love of God, a love that forgives, redeems, and eternally guides, making it a powerful addition to any believer's playlist.
