Lyrics
I have closed my eyes, I have clenched my fist
I have shut my heart, You have opened it
I have wandered far away, but You were already there
With open arms, with open arms
I will let love find me
I will let love surprise me
I will let love redesign me
I will let love
I will let love
When the waters rise, when the levee breaks
When my world starts feeling like an earthquake
When Your love starts sinking in, I can see on the waves
Your open arms, Your open arms
You won’t stop, You’ll never stop chasing
My heart won’t stop ever proclaiming
Your love for us, there’s no containing
Your love won’t stop, Your love won’t stop

Meaning & Inspiration
Let Love portrays a closed and guarded life being met by a love that refuses to remain distant. The opening images of clenched fists, a shut heart, and wandering establish resistance and isolation, while the repeated open arms suggest welcome rather than condemnation. Its central refrain presents love as an active force that finds, surprises, and reshapes a person. Even when rising water and an earthquake make life feel unstable, divine love remains present and persistent.
The song may be heard alongside biblical passages about God seeking people before they can repair themselves. Its movement from withdrawal to proclamation gives the lyric a clear spiritual arc: grace enters fear, brings security, and awakens praise. The language of being pursued also supports the sense that restoration begins with God rather than human effort. Instead of denying trouble, the song places trouble within the reach of a love that cannot be contained, offering a worshipful meditation on surrender and renewal.
