You
Bukas Palad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though many times I run from you in shame
I lift my hands and call upon Your name
For underneath the shadow of Your wings
My melody is You
Oh Lord I seek You for I thirst
Your mercy is the rain on the desert of my soul
Oh Lord I raise my lifeless eyes
And see Your glory shine, how your kindness overflows (refrain)
Oh Lord Your sanctuary calls
I yearn to be with You in the rivers of Your love (refrain)
The song "You" by Bukas Palad is a beautiful expression of devotion to God. The refrain "Though many times I run from you in shame, I lift my hands and call upon Your name, for underneath the shadow of Your wings, my melody is You" speaks of the singer's recognition that they have fallen short of God's expectations, but despite this, they turn to Him in times of trouble and find comfort and security in His loving embrace. The imagery of being sheltered under the shadow of God's wings is a powerful reminder of His protection and care, and the idea that our very essence and song is found in Him is a beautiful tribute to His sovereignty.
The verses expand on this theme, speaking of the singer's thirst for God's mercy ("Your mercy is the rain on the desert of my soul") and their longing to see His glory ("Oh Lord I raise my lifeless eyes, and see Your glory shine, how your kindness overflows"). The final verse speaks of the singer's yearning to be in God's presence, where they can immerse themselves in His love ("Oh Lord Your sanctuary calls, I yearn to be with You in the rivers of Your love"). This is a beautiful and poignant expression of the human desire to be close to God and to experience His love and grace.
