Revelation
Matt Redman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For You've revealed Yourself to us
And the more we see, the more we love
This revelation of Your heart
And we are falling, falling, falling
We are falling so in love with You, yeah
Beyond all question, You're a mystery
Unsearchable greatness of a holy God
Yet day by day You reveal Your heart
And we are falling, falling, falling
We are falling so in love with You
Well, how could hearts not love Your Name
While all creation sings Your praise
And every breath points back to You, Jesus?
Now in part we see You, then face to face
And we'll know You fully, as we're fully known
And the depths of glory You now hide away
They will be revealed on that glorious day
And we are falling, falling, falling
We are falling so in love with You
Well, how could hearts not love Your Name
While all creation sings Your praise
And every breath points back to You, Jesus?
Oh, we are falling, falling, falling
So in love
We are falling, falling, falling
So in love with You
We are falling, falling, falling
Yeah, falling in love
We are falling, falling, falling
We are falling, falling, falling
We are falling, falling, falling,
Yeah, falling, falling so in love
We are falling, falling, falling,
So, so, so, so in love
We are falling, falling, falling,
The more we see of You, the more we fall in love with You again
We are falling, we are falling, so, so, so, so in love
The lyrics of Matt Redman's song "Revelation" express worship and adoration towards God, as well as an acknowledgment of the mystery of His nature. The singer affirms that God is not unknown or unfamiliar to those who worship Him, for He has revealed Himself through His heart. The more they see of God, the more they love Him, and they are falling deeper in love with Him through this revelation. Despite God's unsearchable greatness, His heart is continually being revealed to the singer, causing them to fall deeper in love with Him.
The song also acknowledges the mystery of God, affirming that He is beyond all question, and we only know the shallows of His mighty deep. Even so, the singer has come to know the greatness of God and the holiness of His nature. Every breath they take points back to Jesus, and all creation sings His praise, prompting the singer to wonder how their heart could not love His name.
The song concludes with a promise that one day they will know God fully, even as they are fully known by Him. The depths of His glory that are hidden away will be revealed on that glorious day. The singer affirms that they are falling in love with God and will continue to do so as they see more of Him.
