Lyrics
Don't glory in man
We have all things in Christ
I trust in the Lord
Don't glory in man
We have all things in Christ
I trust in the Lord
When the systems of the world are failing
God is able to make it up to me
And When the systems of the world are failing
He is able to make all favour come to me
I can never go
I can never go down
God is able to make it up to me
I can never go
I can never go down
When the systems of the world are failing
No fear for tomorrow
So I refuse to worry
I say no limitation
No fear for tomorrow
So I refuse to worry
There are no limitations
When the systems of the world are failing
God is able to make it up to me
And When the systems of the world are failing
He is able to make all favour come to me
I can never go
I can never go down
God is able to make it up to me
I can never go
I can never go down
When the systems of the world are failing
I can never go
I can never go down
God is able to make it up to me
I can never go
I can never go down
When the systems of the world are failing
All things are mine
All things are mine
All things are mine
All things are mine
I can never go
I can never go down
God is able to make it up to me
I can never go
I can never go down
When the systems of the world are failing
I can never go
I can never go down
God is able to make it up to me
I can never go
I can never go down
When the systems of the world are failing
All things are mine
All things are mine

Meaning & Inspiration
Never Go Down is a declaration of confidence in God when familiar structures fail. The opening rejects boasting in people and locates every good gift in Christ. From there, the lyric contrasts unstable worldly systems with the ability of God to provide favor and help. Repetition turns the central claim into a sustained confession: fear, worry, and apparent limitation do not have the final word when trust rests in the Lord.
The line about all things belonging to the believer closely echoes 1 Corinthians 3:21-23, where Paul forbids boasting in human leaders and explains that all things belong to those who belong to Christ. The refusal to worry about tomorrow also corresponds with Philippians 4:6-7, which directs anxious concern toward prayer and the peace of God. Rather than denying hardship, the song places failure and uncertainty beneath divine faithfulness. Its recurring chorus celebrates spiritual security and expects God to remain sufficient when other sources of confidence collapse.
