Behind The Song: Planetshakers Share The Heart Behind Their Song “Not Alone”

This week’s featured song story comes to us from the Planetshakers. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Not Alone.”

“Wrote this song ‘Not Alone’ and really wanted to sum up everything about the presence of God being with us. And actually I was trying to think of our teenagers and our young people specifically. Trying to think what some of them go through, what some of them think because life can be very up and down and learning that God is in the midst of all those things is such a powerful revelation. ” – Planetshakers

“Not Alone” Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I feel distant
Your love draws me close
When my hope is missing
Your presence is my home

[Verse 2]
You’re my protector
Your word keeps me safe
The love of my Father
Nothing can separate

[Pre-Chorus]
No matter where I’ve been or what I’ve done
You’ll never leave or hold back Your love
Your presence is surrounding me

[Chorus 1]
I am not alone, You are here with me
You’ve given me Your heart and You will never leave
Father, You’re always good and You’re always here for me
You’ll never leave

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
When I feel broken
You show me what it cost
To win back my freedom
My Saviour on the cross

[Pre-Chorus]
No matter where I’ve been or what I’ve done
You’ll never leave or hold back Your love
Your presence is surrounding me

[Chorus 1]
I am not alone, You are here with me
You’ve given me Your heart and You will never leave
Father, You’re always good and You’re always here for me
You’ll never leave

[Bridge]
For all of my days
Your love wraps around me
Love wraps around my heart
And I am safe
I’ll worship forever
Worship with all my heart
For all of my days
Your love wraps around me
Love wraps around my heart
And I am safe
I’ll worship forever
Worship with all my heart

[Chorus 2]
I am not alone, You are here with me
You’ve given me Your heart and You will never leave
Father, You’re always good and You’re always here for me
You’ll never leave
You’ll never leave, You’ll never leave
You’ll never leave, You’ll never leave!

[Bridge]
For all of my days
Your love wraps around me
Love wraps around my heart
And I am safe
I’ll worship forever
Worship with all my heart
For all of my days
Your love wraps around me
Love wraps around my heart
And I am safe
I’ll worship forever
I’ll worship with all my heart!
