How can we express the wonders of the love of God? This classic hymn by George Matheson focuses on how God’s love reaches us in the most difficult seasons of life. When our souls are weary, Christ gently gives us rest and never lets us go. When we walk through darkness, God lightens our path with the sunshine of his presence. Even in the midst of deepest pain, he ministers his promises to us, so that we might “trace the rainbow through the rain.” This is a love so strong, so sure, so beyond anything we could ever imagine or deserve, that all we can do in response is to devote ourselves fully to him.
Sing along with Keith & Kristyn Getty and guest artist Dana Masters in this new arrangement of a song beloved through the generations-the first in an upcoming series reimagining timeless hymns for the 21st century.
LYRICS:
Oh love that will not let me go
I rest my weary soul in thee
I give thee back the life I owe
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be
Oh light that followest all my way
I yield my flickering torch to thee
My heart restores its borrowed ray
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be
Oh joy that seekest me through pain
I cannot close my heart to thee
I trace the rainbow through the rain
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be
Oh cross that liftest up my head
I dare not ask to fly from thee
I lay in dust's life's glory dead
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be
O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
