Move Me
Michael Gungor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And You move me
Just when I thought that I had it all together
And You move me
Just when I thought things could not get any better

I am ready come and move me once again
I am ready come and move me once again

:chorus:
And You move me
Closer to You closer to Your heart
I see clearer so much clearer than before
And You move me
Lord You move me

And You move me
From the comfort that I've come to know and love
And You move me
To experience to sovereignty of God

Come and move me once again
Come and move me once again

Overall Meaning

In the first stanza of Michael Gungor's song "Move Me," the singer is acknowledging the power of God to disrupt his life even when he thinks he has everything under control. The phrase "And You move me" takes on a dual meaning--on the one hand, it refers to the way that God stirs up the singer's emotions and inspires him to live a more meaningful life, but on the other, it also refers to the physical, literal sense of movement that comes with spiritual awakening. The singer is acknowledging that he is ready to be moved once again, despite the discomfort and uncertainty that comes with that kind of transformation.

In the chorus, the singer expands on the idea of being moved closer to God's heart. He recognizes that this kind of movement brings him clarity and insight into his life's purpose, allowing him to see more clearly than he ever has before. The repetition of the phrase "And You move me" reinforces the importance of surrendering to God's will and allowing oneself to be changed and transformed from the inside out.
