Lyrics
Before I call
Before I ever cry
You answer me
From where the thunder hides
I can't outrun
This heart I'm tethered to
When every step
I collide with You
Like a tidal wave
Crashing over me
Rushing in to meet me here
Your love is fierce
Like a hurricane
That I can't escape
Tearing through the atmosphere
Your love is fierce
You cannot fail
The only thing I've found
Is through it all
You never let me down
You don't hold back
Relentless in pursuit
At every turn
I come face to face with You
Like a tidal wave
Crashing over me
Rushing in to meet me here
Your love is fierce
Like a hurricane
That I can't escape
Tearing through the atmosphere
Your love is fierce
You surround me
You chase me down
You seek me out
How can I be lost
When You have called me found
You chase me down
You seek me out
How can I be lost
When You have called me found
You chase me down
You seek me out
How can I be lost
When You have called me found
Like a tidal wave
Crashing over me
Rushing in to meet me here
Your love is fierce
Like a hurricane
That I can't escape
Tearing through the atmosphere
His love is fierce
Your love is fierce
You never let go
Your love is fierce
Even now You surround me
Your love is fierce
Always always
His love is fierce

Meaning & Inspiration
“Fierce” portrays divine love as active, overwhelming, and impossible to outrun. Images of a tidal wave, hurricane, and thunder give that love immense scale, yet the lyric also makes it personal: God answers, pursues, surrounds, and names the lost person as found. The contrast between human flight and God’s steady pursuit turns the chorus into a declaration of confidence rather than fear.
Several biblical themes closely match this language. Jesus’ parable in Luke 15:4-6 describes a shepherd seeking a lost sheep until it is found, which parallels the bridge’s repeated language of being chased down and sought out. Romans 8:38-39 declares that nothing can separate believers from God’s love, fitting the song’s picture of a love that cannot be escaped. These connections support the central theme of dependable divine love that meets a person before the call and remains present through every turn.
