The idea of The Digital Age came from several conversations about the current state of technology and how we as humans can now interact. With the rise of the internet, our neighbors are no longer the people who live next to us. We have relationships with people not only within our communities and in our cities, but across the globe. Ideas and information spread quickly and shape how we choose to connect or disconnect from those around us. For example, the majority of the final DC*B album was recorded in separate locations. Files were uploaded and shared on a private server, and many artistic interactions occurred behind the veil of a computer screen. 1s and 0s turned into sounds, and sounds turned into songs. What started as small files are now songs that can be found floating across the internet. We are all neighbors. We are all connected. Art is everywhere, free to give and take. We live in the digital age.
In the small college town of Waco, TX, home of Baylor University, The Digital Age has its roots planted at University Baptist Church. Throughout the life of the church, the members of the band have been leading worship there in some form or fashion since its inception in 1995. “We really feel at home here and committed to the investment we’ve made in this community, so right away we knew we wanted to stay in Waco.”
The members of The Digital Age believe that the Church is beautiful, diverse, creative, and alive, and that these qualities should be reflected in the music the Church creates. Above all, The Digital Age strives to pursue excellence in all things to further the kingdom of God.
Overcome
The Digital Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your love is an avalanche
I'm overcome, I'm overcome
With a crash I'm tumbling down
I'm wildly moved
I'm overcome, I'm overcome
You're enough, You're all I need
Everything I could want is found in Your love
I'm taken away by a river of peace
On this starlit night
I'm overcome, I'm overcome
I'm lost in the glow of Your majesty
Oh my God how You captivate
I'm overcome, I'm overcome
By Your grace, Your love, Your peace
You're enough, You're all I need
Everything I could want is found in Your love
Your love, Your love, Your love
Like a snowfall that blankets the Earth
My sin has been covered
And I'm overcome, I'm overcome
The price has been paid
The war is already won
The blood of my Savior was shed
Oh He's overcome, and I'm overcome
By Your grace, Your love, Your peace
You're enough, You're all I need
Everything I could want is found in Your love
Your love, Your love
You're all I need
Everything I could want is found in Your love
The Digital Age's song "Overcome" is a powerful ballad that tells the story of a person who is tumbling down with an overwhelming feeling of love and grace. The song begins with the lyrics "I can hear the roar it's a mighty sound, Your love is an avalanche", indicating the magnitude of the love that is causing the singer's emotional avalanche. The chorus is repeated throughout the song, and it emphasizes the singer's feeling of being overcome by the magnitude of the love they are experiencing. They feel taken away by a river of peace that resonates with them on a starlit night, lost in the glow of majesty, captivated by the divine love that covers the sin that had buried them under snowfall.
The second verse of the song expands on the singer's realization of the sacrifice and suffering endured by Jesus to cleanse them of their sins. The blood of the Savior has been shed, the price has been paid, and the war has been won, and this realization of the divine love and sacrifice makes the singer feel overcome.
"Overcome" is an anthem for those who have felt the power of divine love in their lives. It is a spiritual song that captures the deep and personal connection between God and His believers. With the mix of electronic and rock, the digital age has produced a musical masterpiece that conveys a message that is poignant and resonating.
