So come in like a fire
You can come in like a flood
I don't care what it looks like ('Cause I'm falling)
I'm so in love (I fell so hard)
So come in like a fire (Burn me up, burn me up)
Come in like a flood (Let it go, let it go higher)
I don't care what it looks like
I'm so in love (I don't care)
So come in like a fire (Give You permission to)
Come in like a flood (Take me over)
I don't care what it looks like (Take me over)
I'm so in love (All of me, all of me)
So come in like a fire (So wash; it's a flame)
Come in like a flood (Wave after wave)
I don't care what it looks like ('Cause I'm so in love)
I'm so in love (I'm so in love)
So come in like a fire (You can come in like)
Come in like a flood (Wash me over)
I don't care what it looks like
I'm so in love
So come in like a fire
You can come in like a flood
I don't care what it looks like
I'm so in love
Outro: Chandler Moore
Search me, O God
Search my heart
And if You find any desire
That's not You, that's not You
Take it all away
Take it all away till all that's left is You
Send the searchlight down from heaven
Search me, search me
I'm open, I'm open
Search me, search me
Search me, search me
You're the only one qualified
You're the only one qualified
'Cause You made me, You made me
'Cause You made me, You made me
You know what's supposed to be there
You know what's supposed to be there

Meaning & Inspiration
Maverick City Music's "When I Lock Eyes With You," featuring Brandon Lake and Elyssa Smith, is a powerful expression of intimate devotion released on November 27, 2020. This song transcends mere musical composition; it's a profound declaration of a surrendered heart, centering on the transformative encounter with the divine. The lyrical core revolves around the idea that in moments of direct spiritual communion, one finds a true reflection of self and experiences an overwhelming sense of affection from God. This concept echoes the biblical truth that in God’s presence, we are known and loved, a love that is both powerful and deeply personal. The repeated refrain, "All I want is You, and all I need is You, all I see is You, just You," encapsulates a complete spiritual orientation, mirroring the words of the Psalmist who declared, "Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you" (Psalm 73:25). The song beautifully articulates a desire to be consumed by God’s presence, as expressed in the bridge: "So come in like a fire, come in like a flood." This imagery draws from various biblical accounts, such as the Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Spirit described in Acts 2, where the Spirit descended "like a rushing mighty wind" and appeared as "tongues of fire." It also evokes the cleansing and renewing power of God, akin to water, as spoken of by Jesus, "But the one who drinks from the water I give him will never be thirsty again. The water I give him will become a well of water springing up to eternal life" (John 4:14). The vulnerability and complete surrender called for in the lyrics, "I don't care what it looks like, I'm so in love," speak to a faith that is not dictated by circumstances or external appearances, but by an unwavering affection for God, irrespective of the outward manifestation of His presence or the trials faced. This is reminiscent of the Apostle Paul’s testimony of finding strength in weakness, recognizing that God's power is made perfect in imperfection (2 Corinthians 12:9). The song’s outro, with the plea, "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts," is a direct echo of Psalm 139:23-24, demonstrating a deep desire for spiritual authenticity and a willingness to have every part of one’s being examined and purified by the divine. Ultimately, "When I Lock Eyes With You" is an anthem for those seeking a deeper, all-consuming relationship with God, a testament to the power of focusing one’s entire being on Him, finding in that singular focus both identity and ultimate fulfillment.
