This song is the personal prayer of a believer who, in the midst of trial, chooses to trust in God. What's neat about it is how much the lyrics are saturated in Scripture.
Verse 1:
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
(Psalm 23:a)
Your perfect love is casting out fear (1 John 4:18)
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
(Mark 4:35-41)
I won’t turn back (John 6:66-69)
I know You are near (Psalm 145:18)
Pre-Chorus:
And I will fear no evil (Psalm 23:4b)
For my God is with me (Psalm 23:6)
And if my God is with me (Psalm 46--especially verse 11)
Whom then shall I fear? (Psalm 27:1)
Whom then shall I fear?
Chorus:
Oh no, You never let go
(Hebrews 13:5-6; Deuteronomy 31:6; Joshua 1:1-9)
Through the calm and through the storm (Isaiah 25:4)
Oh no, You never let go (John 10:27-28)
In every high and every low (Ecclesiastes 7:14)
Oh no, You never let go (Psalm 55:22)
Lord, You never let go of me (Matthew 28:20)
Verse 2:
And I can see a light (John 8:12)
that is coming for the heart that holds on (Psalm 27:14)
A glorious light beyond all compare
(Matthew 17:1-5; 1 Timothy 6:16)
And there will be an end to these troubles
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
But until that day comes
(1 Thessalonians 5:1-2; 1 Peter 1:13)
We’ll live to know You here on the earth
(Philippians 3:10-11)
Chorus Bridge:
Yes, I can see a light (2 Corinthians 4:6)
that is coming for the heart that holds on
(Psalm 97:11; Psalm 57:4-7; 2 Thessalonians 3:5; Hebrews 10:35-38)
And there will be an end to these troubles
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
But until that day comes (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
(Psalm 71; Ephesians 5:8)
If the song has one overarching Scripture reference, I'd say its Romans 8:28-39 and especially verses 38-39: For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 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.
