Eden's Bridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through the watches of the night I will remember You
Because You are my help:
And Your right hand upholds me.
And Your love is better than life.
For I have beheld You in the sanctuary,
And I have seen Your power and Your glory.
I will lift my hands.
And Your love is better than life.
The lyrics of Eden's Bridge's song "Your Love Is Better Than Life" express a deep sense of longing and reliance on the love of a higher power. The opening line, "In the shadow of Your wings, my soul clings to You," conjures images of seeking refuge and protection in the embrace of a caring and all-encompassing spiritual entity. The second line reinforces this idea, as the singer vows to remember this comforting presence through any hardship, "through the watches of the night."
The third and fourth lines of the verse shift slightly, as the singer acknowledges the active help provided by the divine entity, reinforcing this refuge imagery with the image of being upheld by a strong right hand. However, it's the final line that really serves as the emotional and conceptual crux of the verse: "And Your love is better than life." This phrase encapsulates the idea that the love of a higher power is more important and more fulfilling than any other aspect of life, that it represents the ultimate purpose and source of contentment.
The second verse drives this feeling home even further, as the singer recounts having personally witnessed the power and glory of their spiritual anchor, deepening their conviction to praise and lift their hands in thanks. Once again, it's the final line that stands out, repeating the impactful declaration from the previous verse: "And Your love is better than life." Through its soothing and affirming lyrics and its melancholy yet uplifting melodies, "Your Love Is Better Than Life" offers a comforting and inspiring hymn to those seeking solace and purpose in their spiritual journeys.
