Dive
Letra da música Dive
The long awaited rains
Have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
And carved their way to where
The wild and rushing river can be found
And like the rain
I have been carried here to where the river flows, yeah
My heart is racing and my knees are weak
As I walk to the edge
I know there is no turning back
Once my feet have left the ledge
And in the rush I hear a voice
That's telling me it's time to take the leap of faith
So here I go
I'm diving in, I'm going deep, in over my head I want to be
Caught in the rush, lost in the flow, in over my head I want togo
The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive
So sink or swim, I'm diving in
There is a supernatural power
In this mighty river's flow
It can bring the dead to life
And it can fill an empty soul
And give a heart the only thing
Worth living and worth dting for, yeah
But we will never know the awesome power
Of the grace of God
Until we let our selves get swept away
Into this holy flood
So if you'll take my hand
We'll close our eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith
Come on let's go
Debby Holiday's song "Dive" is an uplifting gospel song that tells the story of a person's journey into surrendering themselves to God's grace. The song begins by describing the relief and joy that comes when the long-awaited rains finally arrive and how it leads to the river's flow. The metaphor is that this rainfall represents the presence of the divine in one's life. The singer then finds themselves standing at the edge of the river, heart racing and knees weak, about to take a leap of faith.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm diving in, I'm going deep, in over my head I want to be" as a declaration of the singer's commitment to fully surrendering themselves to God's grace. The river becomes a symbol of the divine and its power to revive life, fill empty souls, and give hearts something worth living & dying for.
The song's message is explicitly Christian, and it encourages believers to let go of their fears and allow the holy spirit to take control. The metaphor of the river is not a unique one, and it can be traced back to various religious texts. However, the song's lyrics present an emotional story and invoke the listeners' empathy as the singer is overwhelmed by the power of the divine. Overall, "Dive" is a powerful gospel song that inspires listeners to let go of their inhibitions and dive into God's grace.

The long awaited rains
The much anticipated downpour
Have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
Poured profusely on arid land
And carved their way to where
Gouged through to a point
The wild and rushing river can be found
Location where turbid stream meets arable land
And like the rain
Mirroring the downpour
I have been carried here to where the river flows, yeah
Transported to the river's flow
My heart is racing and my knees are weak
I am engulfed by fear and excitement
As I walk to the edge
Moving closer to the brink
I know there is no turning back
Once I plunge, there is no return
Once my feet have left the ledge
Upon jumping, my feet leave the platform
And in the rush I hear a voice
On the downward rush, I hear a voice
That's telling me it's time to take the leap of faith
Prompting me to take the bold step
So here I go
Beginning of the adventurous experience
I'm diving in, I'm going deep, in over my head I want to be
Fully committed and submerged in the experience
Caught in the rush, lost in the flow, in over my head I want to go
Completely entangled in the adventurous feeling
The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive
Description of the stream's characteristics
So sink or swim, I'm diving in
I am ready to prosper or encounter loss by engaging fully
There is a supernatural power
A force beyond the natural
In this mighty river's flow
This powerful stream
It can bring the dead to life
Capable of resurrection
And it can fill an empty soul
It can satisfy a soul's emptiness
And give a heart the only thing
It grants the heart its only desire
Worth living and dying for, yeah
Something of optimal value
But we will never know the awesome power
Unaware of the incredible force
Of the grace of God
Reflecting on God's power
Until we let our selves get swept away
Until we allow ourselves to become a part of this experience
Into this holy flood
Immersed in this sacred stream
So if you'll take my hand
Inviting someone to come along
We'll close our eyes and count to three
A shared moment of anticipation
And take the leap of faith
Jumping into an ambiguous adventure
Come on let's go
Let's embark on this journey
