Without your love
Dee-Dee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your peace has kept me
Your grace has kept me
Through all the trials of life
Thank you Jesus
Thank you Jesus
Thank you Jesus
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
The lyrics to Dee-Dee ft. Ray Horton & Radu Sirbu's song "Gimme your love" talk about the sustaining power of God's love, grace, and peace in the face of life's trials. The song opens by acknowledging how these three things - love, peace, and grace - have kept the singer going even when things get tough. The chorus is a simple but powerful expression of gratitude: "Thank you Jesus for the love you have for me." This repetition reinforces the idea that the singer is truly grateful for the ways in which God has sustained them.
The second verse borrows from the imagery of Psalm 42, in which the psalmist describes their soul as panting for God like a deer panting for water. This verse is particularly poignant in the context of the song, as it suggests that the singer's longing for God is what sustains them even when things are difficult. The bridge of the song returns to the idea that God is the singer's heart's desire, and they long to worship him. The repetition of "You alone are my heart's desire" reinforces the idea that God is the only one who can truly satisfy the singer.
Overall, the lyrics to "Gimme your love" are a powerful expression of gratitude and dependence on God. The song's repetitive structure is particularly effective at reinforcing the idea of God's sustaining power, and the use of biblical imagery adds depth and complexity to the lyrics.
