Peeling back the history pages, The Benjamin Gate first formed in 1998 following the tragic automobile death of a musician friend named Ben. The effect of the loss — which Adrienne describes as "shocking us into finding our own existence" — brought together The Benjamin Gate's five members with the charge to take life by the reigns, and for them, it meant fulfilling their dream of starting a band. Sadly the band split up because of their personal life had begun to take precedence over the band (marriage, kids, etc.).

Of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sin
And you see the mark is for his delight

On this his law he meditates day and night
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel
Of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sin
And you see the mark is for his delight
Is in the law of the Lord
On this his law he meditates day and night
Whatever he does prospers all our
Whatever he does prospered us

The Benjamin Gate's "Rush" is a song about the transformative power of God's love and grace. The lyrics express the physical sensations of feeling God's love, with phrases like "rush," "feeling it in my fingers," and "rushing down my spine." The singer describes being cleansed and set free by God's love, which breaks the lies that have blinded them. The repetition of the words "Your grace" emphasizes the theme of God's unmerited love.
The chorus of "Rush" calls out to Jesus in adoration and worship. The singer invites Jesus to take up residence in their heart, using the metaphor of putting His head up in their heart. The bridge of the song takes on a different tone, quoting Psalm 1:1-3 to emphasize the blessings that come from following God's ways. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the exhortation to let go and experience the rush of God's love.
Overall, "Rush" is a celebration of God's love and a call to surrender to His transformative power. The physical sensations described in the lyrics capture the visceral experience of encountering God's love and the call to worship invites the listener to participate in that encounter.
