Petra's song 'I Don't Want to Fall Away from You' is a heartfelt plea for spiritual perseverance. The singer acknowledges past failures and the tendency to grieve the Holy Spirit, yet marvels at God's unwavering love and faithfulness. The lyrics express a deep desire to remain close to Jesus, especially during difficult times when human support fades. The song conveys a sense of dependence on God as a sustaining fountain for the soul, and each day brings a renewed prayer for a fresh start. It's a personal confession of weakness and a commitment to not drift away from the Lord.

After all the things that you have shown me
I'd be a fool to let them slip away
In doing things I know I shouldn't do
But I don't want to fall away from you
From you
After all
I've only grieved Your spirit
And then I don't know why You stay with me
But every time I fall Your love comes through
And I don't want to fall away from You
When the light is gone
And good times are getting old
There's no one left to count on
And all my friends are cold
When I thirst for love oh Lord
You're a fountain to my soul
My soul
My soul
Oh Lord
My soul
In a way my life is full of burdens
But in a way You carry them from me
Jesus
Cause no one understands the way You do
And you know Lord
I don't want to fall away from You
Well every day I pray to start anew
Cause I don't want to fall away from You
No Lord
I don't wanna fall away from You
No Lord
I don't wanna fall away from You
From You... Lord
