Jason Gray's song 'Tethered' explores the struggle of doubt and feeling distant from God, yet realizing that no matter how far one runs, God's love and grace remain unbreakably connected. The lyrics describe a journey from feeling lost and faithless to recognizing that God's presence is inescapable and that His grace continually pursues and restores. The song echoes Psalm 139's theme of God's omnipresence, emphasizing that even in darkness, one is held by God's love. It's a message of hope for anyone who has questioned their faith or felt too broken to be restored.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I was slipping away

Thought I wasn't just losing but maybe never had faith

All of the feelings I felt before they must've been fake

And I just can't fake it anymore

I was lost in the dark feeling my way around it

With a blindfolded heart

Even if You were real maybe I'd gone to far

To broken to be restored


Where can I go from Your presence?

Where can I go?


I'm tethered to Your love

Though I tried a thousand times

I just can't break free love

Your grace that finds me and reminds me

Wherever I run, every road will lead me home

Because I'm tethered to Your love


I tried building wall

Every failure was a stone and I stacked them up tall

Till I was so alone and all hope was gone

It was gone like it was never there

I didn't cry for a help because I didn't like myself

Enough to open the door to my home prison cell

But You were breaking through

Even when I doubted You would even care


Where can I go from Your presence?

Where can I go?


I'm tethered to Your love

Though I tried a thousand times

I just can't break free up

Your grace that finds me and reminds me

Wherever I run, every road will lead me home

'Cause I'm tethered to Your love


I felt at home in the depths

I settled and it made my bed

So should that there was no hope left

And in the darkness, I could hide

Started thinking that You just weren't true

But still held up my fist to You

Like I was looking for a fight, but You didn't run

And I just couldn't see that I wasn't alone

What was darkness to me was like the new day sun

The new day sun to You


Where can I go from Your presence?

Where can I go?


I'm tethered to Your love

Though I tried a thousand times

I just can't break free love

Your grace that finds me and reminds me

Wherever I run, every road will lead me home

Because I'm tethered to Your love

Oh I'm tethered to Your love


Where can I go from Your presence?

Where can I go?
