Living In The Overflow
Song Meaning
Charity Gayle's “Living In The Overflow” is a live gospel song about a life that has more than enough. It opens with a statement, “I'm living in the overflow, I'm covered by Your love, moving with the Holy Ghost, You're more than enough.” The next lines describe freedom and change, with the singer “walking in Your freedom now” and “witnessing Your healing power.”
The song then builds toward a call-and-response section. She tells the room to say “miracles,” and the crowd answers each line, then to say “pour it out,” with requests for her family, church and mission. Next comes thanks, with “Thank You, Lord, because You kept my life, because You kept my family, because You kept my job.” The chorus references Psalm 103, “Bless the Lord, oh my soul,” and a declaration that God's kingdom has come and the “bounds are now set free.”
An overflowing cup is Psalm 23:5, and blessing the Lord is Psalm 103:1. The Spirit being poured out matches Acts 2:17.
