David Dunn's song 'Rushing' is a heartfelt plea for peace amid anxiety and fear. The lyrics describe the struggle of trying to control an uncertain future and the overwhelming weight of worry. Dunn admits his own limitations, acknowledging he can't even keep his heart beating or his mind from racing. The central image is peace as a rushing river that sweeps over him, offering surrender and relief. The song captures a moment of giving up control and letting God's peace flood in, transforming fear into wonder. It's a raw, honest expression of dependence on God for calm in chaos.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
It's all a delusion
The doubt and confusion
All the worry about things that we can't control and what we don't know, yeah
Fear is nothing but smoke and mirrors
A slight of hand and a hooded figure
Face down on the pavement
Oh God, I can't take it
Peace is like a rushing river
One step in I'm going under
Sink or swim, under my skin
I'm just so scared here in the water
Oh, enough is enough is enough
I'm giving up, giving up, giving up
Peace is like a rushing river
Rushing into my soul
Rushing into my soul
I'm kinda neurotic
The future is chaotic
Gotta stop playing games and give up the claim I have any power
I can't keep my own heart beat beating
I can't keep my own head from thinking
Face down on the pavement
Oh God, I can't take it
Peace is like a rushing river
One step in I'm going under
Sink or swim, under my skin
I'm just so scared here in the water
Oh, enough is enough is enough
I'm giving up, giving up, giving up
Peace is like a rushing river
Rushing into my soul
Rushing into my soul
Rushing into my soul
Peace is like a rushing river
One step in I'm going under
Sink or swim, under my skin
I'm feeling uncontrolled for wonder
Oh, enough is enough is enough
I'm giving up, giving up, giving up
Peace is like a rushing river
Rushing into my soul
Rushing into my soul
Rushing into my soul
