Lyrics
Verse 1:
I would be broken
Without your goodness
Bound up in sorrows
Without your grace
I would be blinded
Without your mercy
Bound up in sin
But you pull me in
Over again
Chorus:
You keep on calling me closer
to your heart
Pulling me deeper in your love
Making my heart beat again
You keep on trading my weakness for your strength
Fighting my battles when I can’t
Calling me closer again
Over and over again
Tag:
Over and over again
Verse 2:
I was indebted
Headed for judgement
Offered you nothing
Still you called me friend
Now I stand in wonder
In the light of your kindness
I’m Free from all sin
I’m singing amen
Over again
Bridge:
Now faithful You will always be
Your steady hand delivers me
I’m covered in Your victory
Cause of you I’m finally free

Meaning & Inspiration
“Over Again” centers on the contrast between human need and God’s recurring mercy. The verses describe brokenness, sorrow, sin, and weakness, then answer each condition with divine goodness, grace, kindness, and strength. Its repeated image of being drawn close gives the song a worshipful focus: freedom is received rather than earned, and gratitude follows the recognition of what God has done.
The second verse develops that message through the language of debt, judgment, friendship, and freedom from sin. Those themes closely echo the New Testament’s account of grace given to those who could not secure their own rescue. The bridge then turns confession into assurance, presenting God as faithful, steady, and victorious. Together, these sections make the song a declaration of dependence and renewed praise, with the recurring phrase “over again” emphasizing mercy that continues to meet weakness.
