Song Meaning

Dissatisfaction begins the song, honestly: "I'm full but I've not satisfied," with "this longing to have more of You." Jenn Johnson and Bethel Music describe a thirsty soul that "can't be quenched" and ask God to "come and do whatever You want to." The second image is of someone already in the water: "I'm standing knee deep, but I'm out where I've never been."

A prayer follows that invites disruption. "Would You come and tear down the boxes that I have tried to put You in," she sings, and asks for love to "teach me who You are again" and to be taken "back to the place where my heart was only about You." Then the shoreline recedes: "further and further my heart moves away from the shore," with the vow "whatever it looks like, whatever may come, I am Yours."

The chorus completes the picture with a surrender that feels like freedom: "then You crash over me and I've lost control but I'm free." The singer says "whether I sink, whether I swim, it makes no difference when I'm beautifully in over my head." Ezekiel 47:5 pictures waters too deep to cross, Psalm 42:7 has deep calling to deep, and Psalm 63:1 voices the same thirst for God.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I have come to this place in my life

I'm full but I've not satisfied

This longing to have more of You

And I can feel it my heart is convinced

I'm thirsty my soul can't be quenched

You already know this but still

Come and do whatever You want to


I'm standing knee deep but I'm out where I've never been

And I feel You coming and I hear Your voice on the wind


Would You come and tear down the boxes that I have tried to put You in

Let love come teach me who You are again

Would You take me back to the place where my heart was only about You

And all I wanted was just to be with You

Come and do whatever You want to


And further and further my heart moves away from the shore

Whatever it looks like, whatever may come I am Yours

And further and further my heart moves away from the shore

Whatever it looks like, whatever may come I am Yours


Then You crash over me and I've lost control but I'm free

I'm going under, I'm in over my head

Then you crash over me, and that's where You want me to be

I'm going under, I'm in over my head

Whether I sink, whether I swim

It makes no difference when I'm beautifully in over my head

Whether I sink, whether I swim

It makes no difference when I'm beautifully in over my head

I'm beautifully in over my head

I'm beautifully in over my head
