I Will Never Be
Geoff Bullock Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will never be the same again
I can never return, I've closed the door
I will walk the path, I'll run the race
And I will never be the same again
(repeat)

Fall like fire, soak like rain
Flow like mighty waters, again and again

Sweep away the darkness, burn away the chaff
And let a flame burn, to glorify Your name

There are higher heights
There are deeper seas
Whatever You need to do, Lord, do it in me

The glory of God, fills my life
And I will never be the same again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "I Will Never Be" by Geoff Bullock express a deep commitment to a new way of life after a transformative spiritual experience. The first verse revolves around the idea of leaving the past behind - "I can never return, I've closed the door" - and embracing a new path for the future. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of this change and the singer's determination to stick to it.

The second verse uses vivid metaphors to describe the cleansing and purifying power of God's love and grace. The image of falling like fire, soaking like rain, and flowing like mighty waters suggests a sense of being washed clean of past wrongs and impurities. The light of God's goodness burns away the old habits and patterns ("burn away the chaff") and allows a new flame to be lit in the name of God.
