Divide
Point.blank Anna Yvette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silence
Trying to fathom the distance
Looking out 'cross the canyon carved
By my hands
God is gracious
Sin would still separate us
Were it not for the bridge his grace
His love will carry me
[Chorus]
There's a bridge to cross the great divide
A way was made to reach the other side
The mercy of the father, cost his son
His life
His love is deep, his love is wide
There's a cross to bridge the great divide
God is faithful
On my own i'm unable
He found me hopeless, alone and
Sent a savior
He's provided a path a promised
To guide us
Safely past all the sin that would divide us
His love delivers me
[Chorus]
The cross that cost my lord his life
Has given me mine
There's a bridge to cross the great divide
There's a cross to bridge the great divide
[Chorus]
The song "Divide" by Point.Blank feat. Anna Yvette starts with the theme of silence and the attempt to understand the vastness of distance. The singer looks across a canyon that was created by their own hands and contemplates the separation that would exist between humans and God without the bridge provided by God's grace. The chorus emphasizes this idea further, stating that a "way was made to reach the other side" and that the cross "cost his son his life," but also highlighting the depth and width of God's love that makes it all possible.
The second verse emphasizes the singer's own inability to reach God on their own and their need for a savior. They describe how God has provided a path to guide them safely past the sins that would cause division, and again emphasize the love that delivers them. The final repetition of the chorus brings everything together, emphasizing the cost of the cross and the bridge that it creates to cross the divide between humans and God.
Overall, "Divide" is a Christian song that seeks to emphasize the importance of the bridge that God has created between humans and himself, and the depth of love required to make it possible. It speaks to the human condition of feeling separate and alone, and the comfort that can be found in the knowledge that God has provided a way to bridge that gap.
