Seek You
Adie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fold back, strip away these layers
Test me in these flames until
Only You remain
Shine through
Piercing through the darkness
Search out anything in me
Thank is not of You
Seek You, Father God, I seek You
You are where
My treasure lies
Seek you, Father God, I seek You
You are where
My treasure lies

Save me, take me through the wasteland
Father, you have heard my cry
And you rescued me
Grow me, Holy Spirit, mold me
Change me by Your mercy, God
To be more like you

Seek You, Father God, I seek You
You are where
My treasure lies
Seek you, Father God, I seek You
You are where
My treasure lies

No more living in my own way
Following my own path
Living for my own desires
Surrender everything before You
Only for Your kingdom, Lord
Will I live my life





Seek You, Father God, I seek You

Overall Meaning

The song "Seek You" by Adie is an expression of the artist's desire to align herself with God's will and purpose for her life. The opening lines of the song, "Fold back, strip away these layers/Test me in these flames until/Only You remain/Shine through" indicate a willingness on the part of the singer to let go of anything that is not of God and to allow the refining process to shape her into the person that God wants her to be. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Seek You, Father God, I seek You/You are where my treasure lies" which underscores the idea that everything that is truly valuable in life can be found in the presence of God.


The second verse of the song continues this theme of surrender and transformation. The line "Save me, take me through the wasteland/Father, you have heard my cry/And you rescued me" suggests that the singer has gone through a difficult period in her life and has been brought to a place of dependence on God. The remainder of the verse expresses a desire to be changed by the Holy Spirit and molded into the image of God. The final verse of the song is a declaration of commitment to live for God and to seek His will above all else.
