UK Gospel Chart Top 5 | Gospel Reggae & Drum and Bass

“Love Don’t Fade” by Elijah MC is a genre-blending gospel release available in two distinct versions:

  • Original Reggae Mix – soulful, rooted, message-led
  • Drum & Bass Remix – high-energy, chart-reaching collaboration

Together, they showcase a unique sound at the intersection of gospel, reggae, and UK drum & bass.

About the song

Love Don’t Fade is a modern adaption of a popular 1882 Hymn by George Matheson called “O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go”.

I heard the lyrics to this hymn for the first time late September 2025 following a season of extreme heartache at the hands of divorce. I found myself asking why and how, but this hymn brought me back to a place of worship and thankfulness in the midst of it all.

Lyrics

Verse 1
O Love, you never let me go,
I rest my soul inside your flow.
I give my life right back to you,
You make it grow, you make it new,
Deeper still, stronger too.

Chorus
Hold me close,
Your love don’t fade away,
Guide my steps through night and day.
Your light still shines, your mercy stays,
You lift me up when I lose my way.

Verse 2
Oh Light, you follow all my days,
I drop my torch, you light the way.
Your sun breaks through my cloudy mind,
And every shade turns warm and kind,
In your fire I come alive.

Chorus
Hold me close,
Your love don’t fade away,
Guide my steps through night and day.
Your light still shines, your mercy stays,
You lift me up when I lose my way.

Bridge
O Joy that finds me through the pain,
You paint your rainbow through the rain.
Your promise true, I see again,
Morning come, no tears remain,
Peace like a river, wash my chains.

Verse 3
O Cross that lifts my spirit high,
I won’t turn back, I won’t deny.
From broken ground, new life will bloom,
Your grace bursts out of every tomb.

Verse 4
Glory, glory, heaven sent the Son,
Tore off my chains, the battle’s won.
Through mercy’s gift, your kingdom come,
Forever reign, O Holy One.
