Lyrics
One word from You and there was sunshine
Expressing that a single word from a divine entity (possibly God) brought joy and positivity.
One word from You made darkness bright
Highlighting the transformative power of a word from the divine, turning darkness into light.
Just one word and all was beautiful
Emphasizing the beauty and impact of a single word from the divine perspective.
Forever shining in Your light
Describing the enduring radiance resulting from being in the light of the divine.
When You first spoke to me, I did not hear You
Initially being unaware and inattentive to the divine message, possibly due to self-absorption.
All I knew was the sound of my own voice
Acknowledging a previous focus on one's own voice rather than the divine message.
But in the wilderness a voice was shouting
Noticing a divine voice in the wilderness, indicating a realization of a higher presence.
Make way, give it up, surrender
Encouragement to yield, surrender, and make way for a positive change, transitioning from night to day.
Make way, give it up, surrender
-It's time for the night to end right here, here comes the day, make way, surrender
-The rivers run because You tell them to
Using nature's obedience to highlight human humility in the face of divine guidance and lack of real choice.
The wind and rain obey Your voice
-So who am I to hear You whispering
-And think I really have a choice
-Lord, I need You to tell me where to go
Expressing a need for divine guidance, portraying the word as a subtle guide rather than a glaring spotlight.
But Your word is never a spotlight
-It's a star in the wilderness, whispering
-Make way, give it up, surrender
Reiteration of the call to surrender and make way for a positive change, symbolizing the arrival of a new day.
Make way, give it up, surrender
-It's time for the night to end right here, here comes the day, make way, surrender
-It's time to be what You want me to be
Acknowledging the need to align with the divine will and encouraging a loud declaration or affirmation.
It's time to see what You want from me
-Start shouting
-Please, please, start shouting, yeah
-Oh, I need You to tell me where to go
Repeating the desire for divine guidance, emphasizing its presence in various aspects of one's being.
But Your word is never a spotlight
-It's a star in my head and my spirit and my soul and my heart and my head and my spirit and my soul
-Shouting, shouting, shouting
-Make way, give it up, surrender
Reiteration of the theme of surrender, making way for a positive transformation from night to day.
Make way, give it up, surrender
-It's time for the night to end right here, here comes the day, make way, surrender
-Ha-ha, oh-oh surrender
Concluding with a joyful surrender, possibly indicating a celebration of yielding to the divine will.
Ha-ha-ha, oh-oh surrender
