Overwhelm Us
“Overwhelm Us” is a song of expectancy and surrender—an invitation to approach the Divine with open hearts, ready to receive more love, life, and Spirit than we could ever hold or contain. Its river imagery carries us beyond merely observing the water and invites us to step in, go deeper, and allow ourselves to be fully immersed. Sometimes remembering is less about reaching for Spirit and more about becoming aware of the Divine Life already rising and overflowing within and around us.
Overwhelm Us
Written by Kim-Char Meredith
Verse 1
I approach
In expectation.
You have never left me
Empty and dry.
Flood my soul
With Your Spirit.
You are overflowing,
You are rising high.
You are
River of Life.
Verse 2
We approach
In expectation.
You have never left us
Empty and dry.
Flood our souls
With Your Spirit.
You are overflowing,
You are rising high.
You are
River of Life.
Chorus
So deep,
So far,
So wide,
Though we cannot contain it,
Overwhelm us.
So deep,
So far,
So wide,
Though we cannot contain it,
Overwhelm us with Your love.
Verse 3
We approach
In expectation,
With our hearts
Raised up to the sky.
Down we go
Into the water.
You are overflowing,
You are rising high.
You are
River of Life.
Chorus
So deep,
So far,
So wide,
Though we cannot contain it,
Overwhelm us.
So deep,
So far,
So wide,
Though we cannot contain it,
Overwhelm us with Your love.
Refrain
Overwhelm us, Lord.
Into the water, Lord,
Into the water, Lord.
Chorus
So deep,
So far,
So wide,
Though we cannot contain it,
Overwhelm us.
So deep,
So far,
So wide,
Though we cannot contain it,
Overwhelm us with Your love.
Overwhelm us, Lord.
We come to You, Lord.
Down into the water,
Down into the water.
So deep,
So far,
So wide.
Down into the water, Lord,
Down into the water, Lord.
