My All
Passion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tell myself keep walking on
Hear something up ahead
Water falling like a song
An everlasting stream
You're river carries me home
Let it flow, let it flow
All my fountains
A flood for my soul
A well that never will run dry
I've rambled on my own
Never believing I would find
An everlasting stream
You're river carries me home
Let it flow, let it flow
Open the Heavens
Come living water
All my fountains are in you
You're strong like a river
Your love is running through
All my fountains are in you
Come on and rain down on us, rain down on us, Lord
Come on and rain down on us, rain down on us, Lord
Come on and rain down on us, rain down on us, Lord (we pray)
Come on and rain down on us, rain down on us, Lord
Open the Heavens
Come living water
All my fountains are in you
You're strong like a river
Your love is running through
All my fountains are in you
Open the Heavens
Come living water
All my fountains are in you
You're strong like a river
Your love is running through
All my fountains are in you
All my fountains are in you
The lyrics of Passion's song "All My Fountains" metaphorically explore the idea of spiritual thirst and the need for a divine source of replenishment. The opening lines describe a barren and arid landscape, and the urge to keep moving forward despite the despairing conditions. The anticipation of quenching one's thirst is then kindled by the sound of water falling in the distance like a song. This culminates in the discovery of an "everlasting stream" that carries the singer home. The refrain repeats the metaphor of the stream as a symbol of never-ending replenishment, and how all the singer's spiritual fountains are now in this source - thus, the thirst will never go unquenched.
The bridge of the song calls upon the divine, asking for the "heavens" to open, and to shower the listeners with "living water." In doing so, the imagery of the stream and the fountain is further emphasized, as the source of replenishment is no longer a physical body of water, but a spiritual one. The need for divine help is further reinforced in the repetition of the phrase "come on and rain down on us."
The longing for spiritual replenishment is a common theme in religious music, and this song is no exception. The metaphorical use of water and streams has roots in biblical passages, with verses from Ezekiel, Psalm, and Isaiah referring to water as a symbol of divinity and salvation. The song also employs the musical style of contemporary Christian worship, with a driving chorus that inspires a sense of communal celebration and connection.
