I'm standing on the edge again
I feel Your breath coming on the wind
And nothing's clear, but I can hear
The sound of Your voice
It only gets stronger
It only goes deeper
My head's underwater, but somehow I
Can finally breathe
It only gets stronger
It only goes deeper
My head's underwater, but somehow I
Can finally breathe
It only gets stronger
It only goes deeper
My heart is on fire, and this love is
Setting me free
I've nothing but these empty hands
But with You I have everything
How can I lose, as long as You
Are the love holding onto me
It only gets stronger
It only goes deeper
My head's underwater, but somehow I
Can finally breathe
It only gets stronger
It only goes deeper
My heart is on fire, and this love is
Setting me free
And all these years and all my fears
Are lost in these tears that I cry to You
And all this pain, all my hiding and all my shame
Are drowned in these waves of endless truth and
All these lies, that have kept me blind
Disappear as I'm beholding You
Knowing all my days, I will see Your face
And nothing can erase this love
It only gets stronger
It only goes deeper
My head's underwater, but somehow I
Can finally breathe
It only gets stronger
It only goes deeper
My heart is on fire, and this love is
Setting me free
It only gets stronger
It only goes deeper
My head's underwater, but somehow I
Can finally breathe
"It Only Gets Stronger" is a powerful song by Jeremy Riddle that speaks to the strength and depth of God's love. The lyrics convey a sense of surrender and trust in God, even when faced with uncertainty and challenges in life.
The song begins with the image of standing on the edge, feeling the breath of God coming on the wind. It creates a sense of anticipation and vulnerability, as we are reminded that our lives are in God's hands. Despite the lack of clarity, the singer can hear the sound of God's voice, providing guidance and comfort.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "It only gets stronger, it only goes deeper." This repetition emphasizes the continuous growth and deepening of our relationship with God. It suggests that as we trust and surrender to Him, His love becomes more solid and profound in our lives. It is a reminder that no matter how challenging or overwhelming our circumstances may be, God's love will always prevail and strengthen us.
The lyrics also highlight the contrast between feeling underwater and being able to breathe. This imagery represents the struggles and difficulties we face in life, which can sometimes make us feel like we are drowning. However, in the midst of these hardships, the singer finds solace in God's love, which allows them to finally breathe. It is a beautiful depiction of how God's love can bring peace and freedom, even in the midst of chaos.
As I reflect on the message of this song, I am reminded of several scripture verses that relate to its theme. One such verse is found in Isaiah 40:31, which says, "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." This verse speaks to the idea of God's love empowering us and giving us strength to overcome any challenges we may face.
Another verse that comes to mind is Romans 8:38-39, which says, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." This verse reassures us that God's love is constant and unwavering, and nothing can separate us from it.
"It Only Gets Stronger" is a song that resonates with listeners because it captures the essence of God's love and its transformative power in our lives. It reminds us that no matter what we may be going through, God's love is always there, getting stronger and going deeper. It is a testament to the faithfulness of God and the hope we have in Him.
In conclusion, "It Only Gets Stronger" is a beautiful and inspiring song that encourages us to trust in God's love and surrender our lives to Him. Its powerful lyrics and heartfelt melody remind us of the depth and strength of God's love, even in the midst of uncertainty and challenges. As we listen to this song, may it remind us of the scriptures that speak to the theme of God's unwavering love and may it inspire us to continue seeking a deeper relationship with Him.
