Too Much
Rend Collective's song "Too Much (The Tempo of My Heartbeat)" is a worshipful reflection on the overwhelming presence of God. The lyrics describe how God's nearness adjusts the singer's heartbeat, wrapping around a human being formed from dust. The song marvels at the mystery of God's glory meeting sinful humanity, comparing the encounter to two lovers meeting, with the soul pressed against true love. The singer admits defeat in trying to fully comprehend God's beauty, declaring that He is simply too much. It's a song of awe, surrender, and intimate worship, emphasizing God's immanence and the profound experience of His presence.
The tempo of my heart beat, adjusts to match the moment
Your presence wraps around a dust-formed man
You're close enough to whisper, the infinite is imminent
The one who bought my heart with blood draws near
Immanuel, God is in this place
Immanuel, You are here
And I try to take it in, the beauty of it all
The beauty of You
My heart waits still and quiet and contemplates the mystery
Of glory juxtaposed with sin-stained man
It's like two lovers meeting but instead of lips connecting
My soul is pressed against true love Himself
And I try to take it in, the beauty of it all
The beauty of You
But I admit defeat, it's all too much for me
You are just too much for me
