Meaning & Inspiration
Waterfall is a worship song that compares the love of God to rushing water for a thirsty soul. The first verse is a prayer of seeking, saying "Oh God, my God, I seek You," wanting to move when He moves and thirsting for Him, and the pre-chorus calls Him an ocean to the soul. The chorus pictures His love as a waterfall, running wild and free, raining down, with deep calling to deep when the singer calls.
The second verse seeks Him in a dry and desert land and finds streams of mercy, and the bridge says His mercy comes like a flood, with dancing in the rain and everything covered in rivers of grace. The wording draws on Psalm 63:1 for the dry and desert land, Psalm 42:7 for deep calling to deep, and Psalm 36:8 for drinking from the river of delights. The repeated waterfall imagery and rising refrain give the song a joyful, flowing tone that suits congregational worship.
