Meaning & Inspiration
“Never Get Used to This” by Forrest Frank and JVKE is a song of gratitude for being brought out of a dark place. The first verse describes being stuck in a grave for a long time, doubting it would end, then remembering that God is never late and always on time. The second verse says the singer walked out of the grave alive and told the devil his time was up.
The grave imagery is close to Ephesians 2:4-5, where God makes people alive with Christ, and to John 11:43-44, where Lazarus comes out of the tomb. The pre-chorus gives thanks for blessings seen every day and for a kingdom on the way.
The chorus is a refrain of joy: the singer will never get used to this, and wants to live this way forever. The bridge praises God from morning to evening as the one who breaks chains, close to Psalm 107:14, and looks back at a silver lining of grace. It is an energetic song of thanks.
