Love That Never Lets Go (Remix) V2
[Intro: brief fingerpicked acoustic guitar and delicate piano] [Verse 1: intimate female lead, conversational] I was running down a long dirt highway, Heart like a stone, dust in my soul. Then You met me in my lost and lonely, Opened up a way I never could have known. Now every step feels a little bit lighter, Since You carried what I couldn’t hold. You took my shame, turned it into a story Of a wounded heart made whole. [Chorus: warm three-part female harmony, restrained] That’s a cross on a hill, not just an old rugged sign, It’s where You gave up Your life so I could have mine. Love that believes when I’m broken and slow, Love that keeps hoping when I’m ready to let go. From the red dirt roads to the city lights’ glow, You’re a love that never lets go. [Verse 2: female lead, gentle brushed drums enter] Like a groom who’d give up everything he’s got, You laid down Your crown for a sinner’s heart. Washed me clean in a grace I don’t deserve, Called me “beloved” when I’d fallen apart. Now I’m singing ’bout a mercy that found me, Strumming these strings ’cause the truth is real. If You could love a fool like this, There’s no one You can’t heal. [Chorus: female harmonies bloom, no increase in force] That’s a cross on a hill, not just an old rugged sign, It’s where You gave up Your life so I could have mine. Love that believes when I’m broken and slow, Love that keeps hoping when I’m ready to let go. From the red dirt roads to the city lights’ glow, You’re a love that never lets go. [Verse 3: lightly smiling, conversational, not comic] I still make plans like I’m running the whole thing, Leave You a little room when I’m through. Supper’s in the slow cooker, I’m watching the clock, Learning that love takes its own sweet time, too. You meet me here in the everyday living, Not just the moments I get things right. With a little more grace for the people around me, And a little less need to win every fight. [Bridge: emotionally serious, restrained folk build] Through every storm, every trial, every tear I cry, Your love holds on, never says goodbye. When my faith runs thin and my strength gives way, You’re still beside me, You choose to stay. Love that bears the weight I cannot stand, Love that reaches out with nail-scarred hands. From the first small breath to my final day, You’re the life, You’re the truth, You’re the way. [Brief instrumental breath: drums fall away] [Final Chorus: soft female lead, piano and fingerpicked guitar] That’s a cross on a hill, not just an old rugged sign, It’s where You gave up Your life so I could have mine. Love that believes when I’m broken and slow, Love that keeps hoping when I’m ready to let go. [Gentle three-part female harmonies enter] For every lost heart on every backroad, You’re a love that never lets go. Jesus, Your love never lets go. [Outro: quiet acoustic resolution, instruments decay naturally] [Sound effect: one soft slow-cooker beep] [Spoken: same female voice, close and warm, not sung] Supper’s ready. There’s room at the table. [End]
