Jeff and Sheri Easter - Over And Over Lyrics
Lyrics
I stood on the bank on a wide raging river
Trusting that I'd get across
And I've made my way through some valleys and desserts
Believing I'd never get lost
I stood at the foot at what felt like Mount Everest
Knowing I'd have the strength for the climb
But it's through every trial, each test and temptation
One thing is sure every time
Over and over, again and again God is faithful
Over and over, again and again through it all, he's made me able
To stand and survive, to come through alive
When it sure looked like I couldn't win
But Jesus is with me, so I'll claim the victory,
Over and Over again
If you ask me why I have no hesitation that
God does what he says he will do
Well I'd simply say every battle has taught me
There's nothing he won't help me through
So why should I dwell on the hardships and struggles
When I look just beyond them I see
The way this will end is with great celebration
And deep in my heart I believe
Over and over, again and again God is faithful
Over and over, again and again through it all, he's made me able
To stand and survive, to come through alive
When it sure looked like I couldn't win
But Jesus is with me, so I'll claim the victory,
Over and Over again
To stand and survive, to come through alive
When it sure looked like I couldn't win
But Jesus is with me, so I'll claim the victory,
Over and Over again

Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2014 as part of their compilation album *Yesterday...A Decade of Favorites*, Jeff and Sheri Easter's "Over And Over" stands as a powerful testament to the enduring nature of God's love and faithfulness. The song delves into the profound truth that even when we falter, our spiritual journey is marked by a divine pursuit. The core message centers on the relentless grace of God, a grace that pursues us continually, not because of our worthiness, but because of His unwavering commitment. This theme resonates deeply with the scriptural concept of God's persistent love, as seen in Hosea 11:8, where God asks, "How can I give you up, Ephraim?...My heart recoils within me; my tender compassion grows warm." The lyrics paint a picture of a love that doesn't give up, that keeps drawing us back, mirroring the prodigal son’s father who ran to meet him even while he was still far off (Luke 15:20). "Over And Over" effectively captures this persistent, redemptive action of God in our lives, emphasizing that His efforts to draw us near are constant and unyielding. It’s a reminder that even in our human tendency to stray or forget, God’s memory of us and His desire for our communion never wanes, a notion beautifully articulated in Isaiah 49:16: "See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands." This song offers an inspiring perspective on our spiritual walk, encouraging listeners to recognize and embrace the ceaseless, benevolent pursuit of a God who loves us eternally, never tiring and never ceasing in His care.
