Ezekiel
Gungor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found you naked
I found you lying there
In blood.

Your mother left you,
Your father threw you out.
Unloved.

I clothed your body
I washed the blood and dirt
From your hair.

I gave you jewellery
I gave you everything
I had.

I gave My heart
My heart, My love
I gave my heart,
My heart, My love

You became like
You were a stunning Bride
The world, they saw you
And how you loved their wives
My Bride

You broke My heart
My heart, My love
You broke My heart
My heart, My love.

You sold your body;
Exposed to all, My love
You slept with Stranger
You gave them everything we had.

Come back, My love
My love, come back.

Come back, My love.
My love, come back.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gungor's song "Ezekiel" depict the story of the prophet Ezekiel, who is tasked by God to preach to the Israelites about their rebellious ways. In the song, God speaks to the Israelites, describing how He found them naked and lying in blood, abandoned by their parents and unloved. However, God shows compassion and mercy by clothing them, washing away their filth, and giving them everything they need to be beautiful and loved.

Throughout the song, God refers to the Israelites as His Bride, demonstrating the deep love and commitment He has for them. However, despite all that God has given them, the Israelites betray Him by selling their bodies and sleeping with strangers. God expresses how this breaks His heart and pleads with His Bride to come back to Him.

The lyrics of "Ezekiel" are a powerful metaphor for the relationship between God and His people, illustrating the unconditional love and grace that God shows even when we are at our lowest. The song reminds us of the importance of staying committed to God and how much it breaks His heart when we betray Him.
