For My Sunday Song #6, I wanted to showcase the new video by Jordan Feliz for his song “Never Too Far Gone”. The video came out this past Friday and any chance I get to talk about Jordan Feliz, I am going to take it. I have become a huge fan of Jordan after listening to his album ‘The River’ (see album review here). It is one of my favorite albums of the year. He is a great songwriter and sings with such emotion that you instantly connect to his songs.
My take on the song is that no matter what you have done or how far you may have strayed from God, that you are never far from His grace and love. That for me is encouraging to know that He is always there for me.
If you want the actual meaning of the song, I found a great interview with Jordan Feliz on the website www.newreleasetoday.com that discusses what the song means to him. The song stems from the loss of one child to the birth of another. Jordan states:
“I was overwhelmed by holding my daughter for the first time and by the presence of God in that moment, knowing that I had been so frustrated, and the things I had said to Him in my brokenness with our lost baby. It doesn’t matter where you are going, where you’ve been, or what you’ve said, there is absolutely nothing that will separate you from the love of Jesus.”
It is really a great article and even gives you some bible verses that connect to the song. I hope you enjoy the song.
Lyrics:
I have loved you from the start
I have seen your hurting heart
And you feel so lonely
But you keep on hiding
Cause you feel so guilty
For what you’ve done but
There’s no distance too far
That I can’t reach you
There’s no place that’s so dark
That I can’t find you
Anywhere that you are
If you need proof
Take a look at these scars
And know I love you
Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter
Doesn’t matter what you’ve done
You are never, you are never
Never too far gone
You have run down every road
And you’ve lost your way back home
And you feel so dirty
You know you’re unworthy
Feeling undeserving
Of any love but
There’s no distance too far
That I can’t reach you
There’s no place that’s so dark
That I can’t find you
Anywhere that you are
If you need proof
Take a look at these scars
And know I love you
Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter
Doesn’t matter what you’ve done
You are never, you are never
Never too far gone
You will never outrun my love, my love, my love
You will never outrun my love, my love, my love
You will never outrun my love, my love, my love
You will never outrun my love, my love, my love
There’s no distance too far
That I can’t reach you
There’s no place that’s so dark
That I can’t find you
Anywhere that you are
If you need proof
Take a look at these scars
And know I love you
Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter
Doesn’t matter what you’ve done
You are never, you are never
Never too far gone
Never too far gone
Never too far gone
