Boundless Love
Integrity Worship Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you know me well
you see it all
my darkest nights, my deepest fears
I cry to you and you will hear
boundless love, come carry me
to the place where I at last I'm free
The opening line "If I stand or I should fall" portrays the vulnerability of the singer, indicating that they are unsure of the outcome but is taking a leap of faith by falling into the arms of love, a love that is all-encompassing and eternal. The singer identifies this love as having knowledge of their innermost being "you know me well, you see it all". This suggests that the love they are referring to is divine in nature, and it is someone or something that they recognize as being all-knowing and therefore trustworthy. In times of weakness and vulnerability, the singer finds comfort and security in the knowledge that this love will never leave and knows their heart's deepest fears and thoughts.
The second half of the verse highlights the singer's dependence on this boundless love, seeking refuge in it when human strength and resilience fall short. In moments when the darkness and fears seem to be taking hold, the singer cries out to this love, knowing it will hear them. The chorus emphasizes the boundlessness of this love, describing it as one that is capable of carrying them to a place of true freedom. This freedom is not just from external forces but also from the fears and doubts within, and only this love can provide such an escape.
