Hillsong Young And Free - Love Won't Let Me Down Lyrics
Lyrics
VERSE 1
When I was searching
Your love was never far
You made a way to get to me
You were the whisper Leading me
to Your heart Forever I belong to You
PRE-CHORUS
Now I can see clearly My God You are for me You won’t let go
CHORUS
Your love won’t let me down
And I know it’s true
Yeah I know that Your love is all around I believe in You
Holding on to You
Holding on and I know You will never fail I want all of You
You never change
Your love won’t let me down
Love won’t let me down
VERSE 2
Right when I need You
You listen as I pray
You’d leave the ninety-nine for me
You paint the sky with Promises of Your grace
So I would find my way to You

Meaning & Inspiration
Hillsong Young & Free’s “Love Won’t Let Me Down,” featured on their 2018 album *III (Live at Hillsong Conference) [Deluxe]*, offers a powerful declaration of unwavering faith and the steadfast nature of God's love. The song encapsulates the journey from seeking to finding, a narrative deeply rooted in biblical truth. It speaks to the divine initiative in reaching out to us, echoing the sentiment found in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The lyrics describe God as a persistent whisper, guiding us toward His heart, a beautiful parallel to Jesus’ teaching in John 6:44, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them." This theme of divine pursuit is central, emphasizing that our connection with God is not solely our effort but a response to His initiating grace.
The song’s core message revolves around the certainty and immutability of God’s love. The declaration, "Your love won’t let me down," is a bold affirmation of trust in God’s faithfulness. This is powerfully reinforced by the scriptural promise in Hebrews 13:5, where God declares, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." The song articulates a profound realization of God's active presence and support, particularly in moments of need, as captured in the second verse. The imagery of God leaving the ninety-nine to find the one resonates with the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15, highlighting His immense care for each individual. Furthermore, the "promises of Your grace" painted across the sky are a direct reflection of God’s covenant faithfulness, as seen in Lamentations 3:23, "Great is your faithfulness." The song’s resolute tone encourages listeners to anchor their hope in a love that is constant and unfailing, a love that guides, sustains, and ultimately ensures we will never be let down.
