Fred Hammond - Love Never Fails Lyrics

“Love Never Fails” by Fred Hammond speaks to someone who feels the world has grown colder. The verse admits that negative voices are getting bolder and that deep down it can feel like everything is over, then offers a shoulder from a friend. The singer looks back at sun and rain, changing people and things that no longer feel the same.

Through all of that, one point stays fixed: “Love never fails.” The line is repeated again and again, and a long section answers it with “When nothing else could help, love never fails.” The long repetition makes the point by sheer persistence, and the closing run of “Never, never, never” leaves no room for doubt.

The central line is close to 1 Corinthians 13:8, which says that love never fails. The comfort in the verse is also close to Psalm 34:18 and Romans 8:38-39, on God being near the brokenhearted and nothing separating believers from His love. The song is simple, steady and meant to be sung over and over.
