No Such Thing
Song Meaning
Hawk Nelson aims "No Such Thing" at anyone "tired of running in circles" with plans "slipping right through your hands" and worries that "keep sinking in." The first verse names the pressure plainly, then gives one instruction: lift up your eyes, because "there's freedom on the other side."
The chorus is a flat denial of hopelessness for anyone who believes. It repeats "there's no such thing as hopeless for a believer" and "no such thing as broken for a redeemer," then lists four things God can do: win every war, face every fear, heal every hurt and save every soul. The second verse admits that some people have heard all this before and are still "in the thick of it," and it answers with an invitation to be a "new creation" and let the soul awaken.
The writing leans on Romans 8:37-39 for the claim that no force wins against God's people, 2 Corinthians 5:17 for the new creation language, and Psalm 121:1-2 for the lifted eyes. Hope here is stated as settled fact and sung back as encouragement.
If you're tired of running in circles
Feeling like all your plans
Are slipping right through your hands
If you got troubles deep as an ocean
Trying to breathe again
But worries keep sinking in
Just lift up your eyes to the sky
You will find there's freedom on the other side
For you and I
I'm telling you there's no such thing as hopeless for a believer
There's no such thing as broken for a redeemer
There's no war he can't win
No fear he can't face
No hurt that he can't heal
No soul he can't save
There's no such thing as hopeless for a believer
No such thing
When it feels like you've heard it before
But you haven't seen it yet
You're still in the thick of it
There is a invitation to be a new creation
So let your soul awaken
Let your soul awaken
I'm telling you there's no such thing as hopeless for a believer
There's no such thing as broken for a redeemer
Don't you know there's no such thing
There's no war he can't win
No fear he can't face
No hurt he can't heal
No soul he can't save
There's no such thing as hopeless for a believer
No such thing
Just lift up your eyes
There's freedom on the other side
Just lift up your eyes
There's freedom on the other side
For you and I
I'm telling you there's no such thing as hopeless for a believer
There's no such thing as broken for a redeemer
Don't you know there's no such thing
There's no war he can't win
No fear he can't face
No hurt he can't heal
No soul he can't save
There's no such thing as hopeless for a believer
No such thing
