Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll provide the sacrifice
You pour out your spirit
And I will open up inside
Fill me up God
Fill me up God
Fill me up God
Love of God
Overflow
Permeate
All my soul
Fill me up
Till I overflow
I want to run over
I want to run over
The song "Wake Me Up" by Kim Smith is a heartfelt plea to God for spiritual renewal and refreshment. The opening lyrics set the tone for a dynamic exchange between singer and Creator as the singer offers to make a sacrifice, laying their own desires on the altar in exchange for God's life-giving spirit. The juxtaposition of fire and sacrifice creates a vivid image of the singer's willingness to surrender all to God. The next lines express the singer's willingness to allow God's spirit to permeate every aspect of their being, a desire to be filled to the brim with God's love and life.
The chorus of the song is an explicit declaration of the singer's need and desire for God's presence to fill them. The repetition of the phrase "Fill me up God" reinforces this urgency and need, while the plea to overflow communicates a desire for abundance and overflow of blessings. The second half of the chorus describes the transformative power of God's love, suggesting that it can permeate every aspect of the singer's soul if they allow it.
The song's message is both simple and profound, expressing a deep need for God's presence and intervention in the singer's life. The repeated use of "fill me up" and "overflow" evokes the language of abundance and generosity, suggesting that the singer is not content with a mere trickle of spiritual sustenance, but is seeking a deluge of divine presence.
