About This Song
Track three is Romans 8 with a four-on-the-floor pulse. It tells the runner's story — chasing empty lights through the lonely night — and the stronger runner behind: grace that keeps running, running after me. The breakdown names the promise outright: nothing can separate. Not depth, not darkness, not fear. His love won't let go.
Devotional
"Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39).
Paul writes that list like a man who has tested every item on it — trouble, hardship, persecution, danger. The conclusion is not a wish; it is a verdict: nothing can separate.
The song adds the personal detail Romans implies: while we ran, His love ran faster. "Your grace keeps running, running after me" is Psalm 23:6 at full tempo — surely goodness and mercy shall pursue me.
Reflect: What feels like it could separate you from God's love right now? Read Romans 8:38–39 aloud and put that thing on Paul's list — then cross it out.
Lyrics
[Intro] When I ran far, You came close When I lost hope, You held me still Your love, it won't let go It won't let go [Verse 1] I was chasing empty lights Running through the lonely night Trying hard to find my way But Your mercy called my name I was lost, but You were near And You spoke into my fear Every step I tried alone Still Your love was leading home [Pre-Chorus] You found me, You caught me You raised me, You saved me No shadow can hide me Your love is beside me [Chorus] Your love won't let go, go, go Even when I'm weak, You hold my soul Your grace keeps running, running after me Your love won't let go, go, go You are faithful endlessly Your love won't let go [Post-Chorus] Running on, running on, running on Your love won't leave me alone Running on, running on, running on [Verse 2] Your light inside the storm Your shelter keeps me warm When my heart was breaking down Your grace turned it around Now I am more than free No more chains are holding me Every beat and every breath Your love has conquered death [Pre-Chorus 2] You call me, You raise me You save me, no darkness can bind me Your love is inside me Your love [Bridge] Grace is falling, mercy calling Love is rising, Spirit falling I was lost, but You came near I was bound, but now I'm free I was far, but You brought me home Your love won't let go of me [Breakdown] Nothing can separate me From the love You gave Nothing can overtake me You have made a way No dark depth can hold me Fear has lost its hold Jesus, You have found me Your love won't let go [Final Chorus] Your love won't let go, go, go Even when I'm weak, You hold my soul Your grace keeps running, running after me Your love won't let go, go, go You are faithful endlessly Your love won't let go [Outro] Won't let go, won't let go I am Yours, I am Yours Grace is falling, mercy calling Your love won't let go
