Never Look Away
Building 429's 'Never Look Away' is a contemporary Christian song about keeping one's eyes fixed on Jesus amid life's storms. Drawing from the biblical account of Peter walking on water, the lyrics describe the struggle between fear and faith, as the singer chooses to trust Christ's call rather than be overwhelmed by circumstances. The song emphasizes God's presence and the need for divine strength to persevere, ultimately expressing a desire for unwavering faith that never loses sight of the Savior.
The water rages on tonight
And the storm is hiding the skyline
I try to see the northern shore
But the waves are much higher than before
From the deep Lord
You are beckoning
You call out my name
Say don't be afraid cause I
I'm here just believe me
So I won't look at the waves
I'll look on your face and I
I'll walk when I see you
Lord give me faith
To never look away
Staring deep into you eyes
I'm standing by your strength
But fear and doubt they take my sight
And I begin to sink
Hear my plea Lord will you
Come rescue me
It's not that far to where you are
With outstretched arms you're calling out my name
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna fall
But you'll have my all
You've called me by name
And I'm not afraid
I'm here I believe you
I won't look at the waves
I'll look on your face and I
I'll walk when I see You
Lord give me faith to never look away
