Pass Me Over
Anthony Hamilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chance to make another chance
A fragile place
Running on empty
A smile so faint
Barely even breaks the space
World's on shoulders now
He who knows will make a way
His word alone is what has kept me
Born the Son, King of eternal peace
Lay your burdens down
If you catch me dreaming
Please don't wake me till I'm done
Just leave me sleeping
Until the morning comes
Just pass me over
Make believe that I'm not there
Just leave me be
Until the Savior comes
Another night
Makes a way to the morn
Sleep in peace, joy come early
A covered child, steps away victorious
Salvation holds joy for all of us
If you catch me dreaming
Please don't wake me till I'm done
Just leave me sleeping
Until the morning comes
Just pass me over
Make believe that I'm not there
Just leave me be
Until the Savior comes
If you catch me dreaming
Please don't wake me till I'm done
Just leave me sleeping
Until the morning comes
Just pass me over
Make believe that I'm not there
Just leave me be
Until the Savior comes
Pass me over
Pass me over
Pass me over
Till the Savior comes
Pass me over
Pass me over
Pass me over
Till the Savior comes
Pass me over
Pass me over
Pass me over
Till the Savior comes
Pass me over
Pass me over
Pass me over
Till the Savior comes
Pass me over
Pass me over
Pass me over
Till the Savior comes
Pass me over
Pass me over
Pass me over
Till the Savior comes
Pass me over
Pass me over
Pass me over
Till the Savior comes
Pass me over
Pass me over
Pass me over
Till the Savior comes
The lyrics of "Pass Me Over" by Anthony Hamilton speak about the struggles of life and the hope of finding peace in the eyes of the savior. The song's first verse describes the fragility of life and the burden of carrying the weight of the world on one's shoulders. The lyrics suggest that despite the struggles, taking a chance is worth it and that a new day brings new opportunities to make the most of one's life.
The chorus speaks of dreaming and the desire to be left alone until morning comes. It refers to the idea of passing over or ignoring the challenges of the present and finding solace in the knowledge that salvation and peace are waiting for us in the end.
The second verse reaffirms the idea that peace can be found in sleep and the promise of joy in the morning. The lyrics suggest that all of us, as God's children, are covered by His grace and that salvation is available to all who seek it. The song's repetitive refrain of "Pass me over till the Savior comes" is a call for patience and perseverance in the face of life's struggles, with the hope of finding rest and peace when the time is right.
In all, "Pass Me Over" is a powerful song that speaks to the human desire for peace and comfort in the face of life's struggles, reminding us that while our burdens may be heavy, salvation and eternal peace are waiting for us in the end.
