Overwhelmed - Big Daddy Weave



Song number 4. I know that this one creates a very special feeling in me when I hear it. Can it stand the test of listening to the lyric critically?

My comments are in blue.
Overwhelmed
I see the work of Your Hands
Galaxies spin in a Heavenly dance oh God
All that You are is so overwhelming
I hear the sound of Your Voice
All at once it’s a gentle and thundering noise oh God
All that You are is so overwhelming
I delight myself in You
Captivated by Your beauty
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
God, I run into Your arms
Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
I know the power of Your Cross
Forgiven and free forever You’ll be my God
And all that You’ve done is so overwhelming
I delight myself in You
In the Glory of Your Presence
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
And God I run into Your arms
Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
You are Beautiful, You are Beautiful
Oh God,

At some points, the song lyrics sound like something that David might have written in the Psalms. To be honest, this song touches on a theme that God has strongly laid upon my heart lately, and that is just how beautiful God is. And as I see Him in this light, it truly does make anything I do a light burden.

10 out of 10!
