And all I see is You, just You

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)

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
"When I Lock Eyes With You" is a Maverick City Music worship song alternating between two lead vocalists who each describe an identical experience: encountering God fully changes their attention and affection. Both verses use the same image, locking eyes with God and seeing a reflection, feeling His affection, and describing that closeness as an obsession rather than a passing feeling. The chorus narrows the song's language to three short claims, wanting, needing, and seeing only God, repeated until they function as a settled conviction rather than an aspiration. An extended bridge shifts the song's imagery to fire and flood, inviting God's presence to arrive without concern for how it looks from the outside, a picture of surrender that values encounter over control or appearance. The closing section quotes the language of Psalm 139 directly, asking God to search the heart and remove anything that does not belong, framing the whole song as an ongoing act of examination rather than a one-time declaration. Structurally its long, layered vocal parts suit a live congregational setting built for sustained, unhurried worship.
