Grace Assad, Peter Assad - The God Who Won't (Psalm 107)

about

From the writers: "Peter & Grace are a husband and wife songwriting duo known as poems of grace! When approached about this collaboration, we were on the heels of our first large project together—The Story album which follows the story of God in song from Eden to eternity. I (Grace) was in a writing funk. I was a reluctant songwriter to begin with and “The Story” was my first endeavor into the songwriting world. “The God Who Won’t”—our contribution to this Cardiphonia project—is our reflection on Psalm 107, and the song that broke my writer’s block! The Psalm contains four vignettes of someone running from God, and in each the story turns with this repeated phrase, “Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress” (verses 6, 13, 19, and 28). God was faithful in each instance to be nearby. Once the person being described called out to God in their trouble, He was quick to deliver them. What a beautiful image this gives us—that even when we leave him, our God will never leave us behind!"

lyrics

A rebel in chains, I labor in vain
Darkness descends, night closes in.
Rejected by friends, oh when will this end.

Some wander, some sit; some fools don't quit
Some sail away into the storms of this life
All to leave the God who won't leave me behind

I see your love in the crashing waves
You quench my thirst in the desert place
You send your Word to heal my disgrace
You are the God who won't leave me behind

Broken, ashamed, making your name
I've done it once more, adrift from the shore
Dead in the water, I call through the roar

So I'll praise you from the east and I'll praise you from the west
I'll praise you in the morning and in my evening rest
Cause your love is a well that will never run dry
You are the God who won't leave me behind
You are the God who won't leave me behind
You are the God who won't leave me behind
