Overcome
The Prestonwood Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The weight of the world, on my shoulders
At night, I hear
The lies telling me, that I′m worthless
But I know you cover me
And your grace, is all I need
I'm gonna shout, Like the battle is over
I′m gonna sing, Like the storm has passed
I'll raise my hands, In the joy of surrender
Cause it's already done, You′ve already won
In you, I overcome
You′re love, revives
The purpose of all, that is broken
You heal, my wounds
And say to me child, you are chosen, chosen
You never failed
In this hope, I will prevail
I'm gonna shout, Like the battle is over
I′m gonna sing, Like the storm has passed
I'll raise my hands, In the joy of surrender
Cause it′s already done, You've already won
In you, I overcome
I′ve got my feet on the rock
And I will not be moved
I've got my feet on the rock
And I've got nothing to prove
I am yours, and you are mine
You are with me in this fight
IN YOU I OVERCOME
I′ve got my feet on the rock
And I will not be moved
I′ve got my feet on the rock
And I've got nothing to prove
I am yours, and you are mine
You are with me in this fight
I′ve got my feet on the rock
And I will not be moved
I've got my feet on the rock
And I′ve got nothing to prove
I am yours, and you are mine
You are with me in this fight
IN YOU I OVERCOME
IN YOU I OVERCOME
I'm gonna shout, Like the battle is over
I′m gonna sing, Like the storm has passed
I'm gonna shout, Like the battle is over
I'm gonna sing, Like the storm has passed
I′ll raise my hands
In the Joy of surrender
Cause it′s already done
You've already won
It′s already done
You've already won
It′s already done
You've already won
In you, I overcome
In you, I overcome
The song "Overcome" by The Prestonwood Choir describes the struggles that one may face in life and how faith in God can help overcome those struggles. The lyrics convey the feeling of being weighed down by the pressures of life at times, and the doubts and negative thoughts that come with it. The singer acknowledges that these feelings are real, but declares that they trust in God to cover them with grace and be all they need in such moments. The chorus proclaims victory and shouts triumph over struggles, having faith that the battle is over and the storm has passed because God has already won.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the strength and steadfastness of God's love, which revives purpose and heals wounds. This love reminds the singer that they are chosen and will prevail in hope. The chorus is repeated, with the insertion of the declaration that the singer's feet are on the rock and they will not be moved. This is a metaphor for a strong foundation in faith that is unshakable, and with God by their side, they have nothing to prove in this fight.
Overall, "Overcome" is a powerful anthem of faith and praise to God, reminding believers of the strength and victory that come with reliance on God's love and grace.
