The Gift
Jonathan and the Jonathans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waste your time
With all your go aways
A flood will take your form
And drown your yesterdays

And all this time you felt cursed
But you were blessed more than you know
You had health, and you had family
But you put down your gift horse

They kept track of the day
And counted everyone they heard you say
I love you but I'm disappointed
They only pleased you with their tears

And all this time you felt cursed
But you were blessed more than you know
You had health, and you had family
But you put down your gift horse





Yeah you put down your gift horse

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "The Gift" speaks to the universal human experience of searching for something more. We all come from different backgrounds and have different desires and needs, but at the core, we are all longing for the same thing - the touch that sets us free. In our desperation, we kneel before the altar of the One who gave His perfect Son, acknowledging our need for mercy and salvation. The chorus then calls upon the Giver of the Gift to shine down on us, to shower us with His embracing love and to bestow upon us a peace that we can see. The beauty of His name offers life to each and every heart.


The second verse delves even deeper into the human experience. One heart longs for hope, one for peace, but we all bring our searching hearts to the One who can meet our deepest needs. We each have different dreams, but they are all rooted in the same desire for purpose and meaning. Again, the chorus calls upon the Giver of the Gift, acknowledging that His thoughts were not of Himself, but rather for our own empty souls. He took His very heart and breathed hope into us all.
