Fountain
Chris Renzema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let my heart that once was shattered, rejoice
Let my light that once was dimmed down, shine out
And let that garden snake's lies be unmade, and water flow
It's coming from inside of me
This life, this hope, this freedom
Your love it changes everything
Spring up oh well!
Let my bones, that once were broken, dance now
Let my heart that once was shattered, rejoice
Let my light that once was dimmed down, shine out
And let that garden snake's lies be unmade, and water flow
The song "Fountain" by Chris Renzema talks about redemption and the power of God's love to heal us from our brokenness. The first verse of the song talks about letting our bones dance, our shattered hearts rejoice, and our dimmed light shine out. This metaphorical language speaks to the idea of our lives being in a state of brokenness and darkness prior to encountering God's love. The garden snake referred to in the lyrics is a reference to the serpent in the Garden of Eden, who deceived Adam and Eve and brought sin into the world. The line "let that garden snake's lies be unmade, and water flow" is a powerful statement about the power of Christ to overcome sin and bring new life.
