Nate Sallie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can fly above a storm
I'm not the richest guy in the world
But I've got something more
I am waiting in the wings of my Savior
To fly above the clouds, oh, oh yeah
I'm drinking deeply of heaven's pouring jars
You're lifting me up, I'm laying me down
I'm rising above and I'm seeing it now
My heart's pounding up, my vision refined
The string that is flowing deep from inside is the hand of the Divine
You're lifting me up
I'm laying me down
My words may not be eloquent
But when I speak the lion roars
I'm not the strongest or bravest man
But armed with truth I will war
You have sent my spirit in motion
Filling my soul with Your plans
And as I marvel at Your devotion
I humbly step in to Your hands
You're lifting me up, I'm laying me down
I'm rising above and I'm seeing it now
My heart's pounding up, my vision refined
The string that is flowing deep from inside is the hand of the Divine
I see a miracle each day
Your splendor clearly on this land
Now my view has turned around
Favor from Your well, no bounds
They ask me how, they ask me why
Only the hand of the Divine
You're lifting me up, I'm laying me down, yeah
My heart's pounding up, my vision refined
The string that is flowing deep from inside is the hand of the Divine
Yeah, [Incomprehensible]
My heart's pounding up, my vision refined
The string that is flowing deep from inside
Is the hand of the Divine
The song “Divine” by Nate Sallie is an uplifting and inspirational piece that expresses the singer’s deep faith in a higher power. The first two lines of the song declare that the singer is not a superhero or the richest guy in the world, but he has something more. It seems that this ‘something more’ is his unyielding faith in God, which he believes can help him overcome any obstacle in his life. The lines "I am waiting in the wings of my Savior to fly above the clouds" suggest that the singer trusts in God's protective hand, and he is ready to take flight if God calls him to do so.
The chorus contains the repetition of the line "You're lifting me up, I'm laying me down", which could symbolize the idea of surrendering oneself to God's will. The singer admits that he is not perfect but feels blessed to have achieved a sense of clarity about his purpose in life. The final lines of the song "is the hand of the Divine" reinforce the idea that God's guidance is unyielding and steadfast.
