Newsboys - Your Love Never Fails Lyrics
Lyrics
Nothing can separate
Even if I run away
Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes
You have new mercy for me everyday
Cause Your love never fails
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night
But joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone here in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails
You make all things work together for my good
You make all things work together for my good

Newsboys - Your Love Never Fails (Lyrics)
Meaning & Inspiration
"Your Love Never Fails," a standout track from Newsboys' 2011 album *God's Not Dead*, serves as a powerful testament to the unwavering faithfulness of God. The song’s core message is a deeply reassuring declaration that divine love is an unshakeable constant, even in the face of human imperfection and life's inevitable trials. It acknowledges the reality of personal shortcomings—the admission, "I know I still make mistakes"—but immediately counters this with the assurance of "new mercy for me everyday," echoing the prophetic words of Lamentations 3:22-23 which state, "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." This central theme of enduring love is further amplified by the assertion that God "stay[s] the same through the ages" and His "love never changes," a direct reflection of Hebrews 13:8, which proclaims, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." The lyrics also touch upon the transient nature of suffering, promising that "there may be pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning," a sentiment deeply rooted in Psalm 30:5: "Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes with the morning." This imagery of overcoming adversity is vividly portrayed through metaphors of raging oceans and impassable chasms, underscoring the singer's profound reliance on God’s steadfast love to navigate difficult circumstances. The song’s powerful conclusion, with its repetition of "You make all things work together for my good," directly references Romans 8:28, assuring believers that even in the midst of chaos, God is orchestrating events for their ultimate well-being, a promise that anchors the entire message in the profound certainty of His unchanging, redemptive love.
