Dweller by a Dark Stream
Redemption's Echo: Unveiling Love's Triumph in 'Dweller'
Lyrics
It could have been me put the thorns in your crown
Reflecting on a missed opportunity to support or understand Jesus' suffering.
Rooted as I am in a violent ground
Acknowledging a connection to a troubled and tumultuous environment.
How many times have I turned your promise down
Regret over repeatedly rejecting promises or opportunities from Jesus.
Still you pour out your love
Despite past mistakes, Jesus continues to show unconditional love.
Pour out your love
Emphasizing the continuous and abundant nature of Jesus' love.
I was a dweller by a dark stream
Describing a previous state of spiritual darkness or despair.
A crying heart hooked on a dark dream
Expressing emotional pain and attachment to a negative vision or aspiration.
In my convict soul I saw your love gleam
Recognizing divine love in a soul burdened by guilt or conviction.
And you showed me what you've done
Jesus revealing the redemptive work accomplished.
Jesus, thank you joyous Son
An expression of gratitude to Jesus, the joyous Son.
You entered a life like ours to give us back our own
Jesus taking on human life to restore humanity's true essence.
You wanted us like you, as choosers not clones
Desire for humans to choose freely, not be mere replicas of Jesus.
You offered up your flesh and death was overthrown
Reference to Jesus' sacrificial death overcoming mortality.
Now salvation is ours
Declaring the availability of salvation through Jesus' sacrifice.
Salvation is ours
Reiterating the accessibility of salvation for all.
I was a dweller by a dark stream
Recalling a past state of spiritual darkness or despair.
A crying heart hooked on a dark dream
Reiterating emotional pain and attachment to a negative vision.
In my convict soul I saw your love gleam
Finding divine love in a soul burdened by guilt or conviction.
And you showed me what you've done
Jesus revealing the redemptive work accomplished, again.
Jesus, thank-you joyous Son
Expressing gratitude to Jesus, the joyous Son, again.
So I'm walking this prison camp world
Navigating the challenges of the world, possibly with a yearning for freedom.
I long for a glimpse of the new world unfurled
Longing for a glimpse of a transformed and better world.
The chrysalis cracking and moisten winds uncurl
Imagining the emergence of positive change, likened to a chrysalis cracking.
Like in the vision John saw
Referencing a visionary experience, possibly from the biblical book of Revelation.
The vision John saw
Reiterating a visionary experience, possibly from the book of Revelation.
I was a dweller by a dark stream
Recalling a past state of spiritual darkness or despair, once more.
A crying heart hooked on a dark dream
Reiterating emotional pain and attachment to a negative vision, again.
In my convict soul I saw your love gleam
Finding divine love in a soul burdened by guilt or conviction, again.
And you showed me what you've done
Jesus revealing the redemptive work accomplished, once more.
Jesus, thank you joyous Son
Expressing gratitude to Jesus, the joyous Son, once more.
