Overcome
Ross Parsley and The Desperation Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seated above, enthroned in the Father's love
Destined to die, poured out for all mankind
God's only son perfect and spotless one
He never sinned but suffered as if He did

All authority, every victory is Yours
All authority, every victory is Yours
Savior, worthy of honor and glory
Worthy of all our praise, You overcame
Jesus, awesome in power forever
Awesome and great is Your name, You overcame

Power in hand
Speaking the Father's plan
You're sending us out
Light in this broken land

We will overcome
By the blood of the Lamb




And the word of our testimony
Everyone overcome

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song, "Seated above, enthroned in the Father's love, destined to die, poured out for all mankind," refer to Jesus Christ in his role as savior. According to Christian teaching, Jesus was sent by God to die on the cross for the sins of humanity. Despite being innocent (as mentioned in the next line, "God's only son perfect and spotless one, he never sinned"), he suffered greatly and ultimately died to provide salvation for all people. The song emphasizes the power and authority of Jesus, describing how "every victory" is his, and how he is "awesome in power forever".


The second verse talks about how Jesus is still active in the world today, with "power in hand" and the ability to "speak the Father's plan". The song suggests that Jesus is sending his followers out to be a light in a broken world. The chorus repeats the idea that Jesus is worthy of honor, glory, and praise, because he overcame death and sin through his sacrifice on the cross. The last lines of the song encourage all believers to "overcome" in their own lives, through the power of Jesus.


Overall, "Overcome" is a worship song that celebrates the power, authority, and sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. It encourages believers to trust in him and follow his plan, even in the midst of a broken and difficult world.
