Kim Walker-Smith - Never Gets Old Lyrics
Lyrics
In the midst of glory
In the midst of wonder
I won't take what's holy
And treat it as familiar
In the midst of beauty
In the midst of Heaven
I won't take for granted
The power of surrender
This place this place
It never gets old
I could worship You forever
There's just nothing
Like Your presence
This place this place
It never gets old
I could worship You forever
There's just nothing
Like Your presence Jesus
In the midst of healing
In the midst of breakthrough
In the midst of all things
I will choose to praise You
In the midst of healing
In the midst of breakthrough
In the midst of all things
I will choose to praise You
How could I do anything else
But love You, I love You
How could I do anything else
But fall more in love with You
How could I do anything else
But want You I want You
How could I do anything else
But fall
How could I do anything else
But love You, I love You
How could I do anything else
But fall
How could I do anything else
But want You I want You
How could I do anything else
But fall
How could I do anything else
But love You, I love You
How could I do anything else
But fall on my knees and worship
How could I do anything else
But want You I want You
How could I do anything else
But fall
How could I do anything else
But love You, I love You
How could I do anything else
But fall
How could I do anything else
But want You I want You
How could I do anything else
But fall

Meaning & Inspiration
"Never Gets Old," from Kim Walker-Smith's 2021 album *Revival Nights (Pt. 2)*, is a potent declaration of unwavering devotion and awe in the face of the divine. The song emanates from a place of profound spiritual experience, where the artist expresses a conscious decision to resist the tendency towards familiarity with sacred things, opting instead for sustained wonder. This deliberate choice to not "take what's holy and treat it as familiar" or "take for granted the power of surrender" speaks to a deep understanding of God's enduring presence and the transformative power found in yielding to Him. The core message revolves around the idea that encountering the divine, experiencing His presence, is an inexhaustible source of worship and connection. The repeated refrain, "This place this place / It never gets old," encapsulates this sentiment, suggesting that the spiritual realm and the intimate relationship with God are eternally fresh and captivating, much like the Psalmist’s declaration in Psalm 16:11, "In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
Walker-Smith artfully navigates themes of healing, breakthrough, and all of life's circumstances by grounding her response in praise. The lyrics articulate a proactive commitment: "In the midst of healing / In the midst of breakthrough / In the midst of all things / I will choose to praise You." This is not a passive acknowledgment but an active decision, mirroring the faith of those who, even in hardship, choose to bless God, as exemplified in Job 1:21: "The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." The subsequent fervent expressions of love and desire for God underscore the depth of this commitment. The rhetorical questions, "How could I do anything else / But love You, I love You" and "How could I do anything else / But want You I want You," highlight the undeniable pull of God’s nature and the natural overflow of a heart that has truly encountered Him. This echoes the sentiment of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 5:14, "For the love of Christ controls us, because we have judged this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died." The song’s trajectory from acknowledging the unending novelty of God’s presence to the uncontainable desire to be in that presence and express it through worship is a compelling spiritual journey. It’s a testament to the enduring truth that God's grace and glory are not finite resources but an infinite wellspring that continually refreshes and captivates the soul, making every moment of connection with Him a brand new, never-ending experience.
