Rob and Evangeline Sperti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If in a thousand years I tried
To tell the love You′ve burned inside
My heart would faint
My words would die
I'd fill my lungs and I would try
To tell of love, to tell of grace
To tell of love that takes my place
Leaves me loved and leaves me changed
Holy, only You are holy
My heart bows before You
Breathless, I adore You
Glory, clothed with endless glory
I live to tell the story of all Your love has done
This is what Your love has done.
If in a thousand years I tried
To tell the love You′ve burned inside
My heart would faint
My words would die
I'd fill my lungs and I would try
To tell of mercy sent for me
To tell of Mercy's suffering
The end of all that mercy brings
Life from death and eternity
Holy, only You are holy
My heart bows before You
Breathless, I adore You
Glory, clothed with endless glory
I live to tell the story of all Your love has done
Holy, only You are holy
My heart bows before You
Breathless, I adore You
Glory, clothed with endless glory
I live to tell the story of all Your love has done
Ohhhh... This is what Your love has done
Ohhhh... What Your love has done
Ohhhh... ohhhh... ohhhh
Holy, only You are holy
My heart bows before You
Breathless, I adore You
Glory, clothed with endless glory
I live to tell the story of all Your love has done
Holy, only You are holy
My heart bows before You
Breathless, I adore You
Glory, clothed with endless glory
I live to tell the story of all Your love has done
Ohhh, Holy, only You are holy
My heart bows before You
Breathless, I adore You
Glory, clothed with endless glory
I live to tell the story of all Your love has done
Holy, only You are holy
My heart bows before You
Breathless, I adore You
Glory, clothed with endless glory
I live to tell the story of all Your love has done...
The song "A Thousand Years" by Rob and Evangeline Sperti is a beautiful worship song expressing the overwhelming love and mercy of God, which leaves the singer breathless and in awe. The lyrics convey how even if the singer were given a thousand years, they would still be unable to express the depth of God's love that has changed their life for the better. The song is an expression of gratitude for what God has done for them and a commitment to telling the story of His love to others.
The opening guitar intro is a precursor to the hauntingly beautiful vocals that follow. As the lyrics unfold, it is clear that the focus is on the greatness of God, the holiness of His character and the mercy that He has shown. The repetition of the phrases "Holy, only You are holy" and "My heart bows before You, Breathless, I adore You, Glory, clothed with endless glory" create a sense of awe and reverence for God. The song ends with a reminder that all that the singer is and all that they have is due to God's love and mercy.
Overall, "A Thousand Years" is a powerful worship song that is both reflective and expressive. It is a reminder that God's love is eternal and that it is beyond our human comprehension. It is also a call to action, urging us to live in a way that glorifies God and tells the story of His love to others.
