Wild Love
Jervis Campbell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under this old moonlight
And we don't know where we're going
Or where we're headed
But we know that You're good and You'll provide
And I search, I search here for answers
As I climb this old mountainside
And in my bones I can feel it
Oh, I'm chasing You with all my life
Let me run like the river
As You call out my soul
For every part craves Your melody
So sing into my heart Your wild love
Well, I go in joyful abandon
Down Your road where trial meets truth
And through the fields and the fires
And untamed desires
I will rise from this dirt and run to You
Let me run like the river
As You call out my soul
For every part craves Your melody
So sing into my heart Your wild love
Oh, I was so lost before I had You
Oh, I was wave-tossed before I knew Your truth
Oh, I was hopeless, the darkness coming through
Oh, I was homeless, but now I live in You
Let me run like the river
As You call out my soul
For every part craves Your melody
So sing into my heart Your wild love
So sing into my heart Your wild love
The lyrics of "Wild Love" by Jervis Campbell speak of the desire to pursue God and run towards His love. The song starts with a description of a moment where the singer is dancing and lost in the moment under the moonlight. Even though they don't know where they are going or what lies ahead, they trust in God's goodness and provision. The lyrics then switch to a personal search for answers as the singer climbs a mountain. They can feel the power of God's presence in their bones and are chasing Him with all their life. The chorus repeats the desire to run like a river towards God's love and melody.
The second verse talks about going down God's road even when it's difficult, through trials and untamed desires. Despite being covered in dirt, the singer will continue to rise and run towards God's love. The bridge talks about the transformation that took place in the singer's life when they found God. They were lost, hopeless, and homeless, but now they live in God.
The theme of the song is the desire to pursue and run towards God's love. The lyrics are filled with metaphors that describe wild and untamed things like dancing, rivers, fields, and fire. These images allude to the idea that the singer wants to abandon themselves in the pursuit of God's love and melody.
