Caught Up
Jon Webster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just with a glimpse
You are holding me hostage
With Your romance
Here in this moment
Feels like I'm floating away
Caught up in Your love that You have for me
Caught up. caught up
Caught up in Your mystery
Caught up in Your love that You have for me
Caught up. caught, whoa, up
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
My mind tries to make sense
Of the cost
You gave all that You are
On the cross
Here in this moment
Feels like I'm floating away
Caught up in Your mystery
Caught up in Your love that You have for me
Caught up. caught up
Caught up in Your mystery
Caught up in Your love that You have for me
Caught up. caught, whoa, up
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
You're taking me higher
You're pulling me closer
Caught up in the middle of it all
You're taking me higher
You're pulling me closer
Caught up in the middle of it all
You're taking me higher
You're pulling me closer
Caught up in the middle of it all
You're taking me higher
You're pulling me closer
Caught up in the middle of it all
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Caught up in Your mystery
Caught up in Your love that You have for me
Caught up. caught, whoa, up
The song “Caught Up” by Jon Webster is a worship song that expresses the feeling of being captivated by God’s love. The first two lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the song - the feeling of being captured by the love of God with just a glimpse. The chorus is the highlight of the song and contains the main theme, "Caught up in Your mystery, caught up in Your love that You have for me, caught up, caught up." The lyrics are repeated several times, driving home the point that the singer is caught up in God’s love and is floating away.
The second verse of the song focuses on the sacrifice of Christ on the cross and how it is difficult to comprehend the cost of such love. The use of the phrase “feels like I’m floating away” in both verses emphasizes the intensity of the feeling of being caught up in God’s love. The song ends by reiterating the chorus, with a bridge in between that expresses the feeling of being taken higher and pulled closer by God.
Overall, the song “Caught Up” expresses the awestruck feeling of being completely in love with God.
