Lyrics

Verse 1


Part the clouds over my soul
Let the light pour in
I need to see it breaking through
I want to feel it on my skin
I'm like a flower to the sun
Where do I turn until you come
You are the light, I need the light


Verse 2


You are the well that won't run dry
You are a river underground
I'm gonna to dig until I find
The living water deeper down
Oh I am desperate for a drink
I'm in a desert, you're the spring
You are the life, keep me alive


Chorus


I'm putting all my hope in you alone
And when I cannot see, I will keep pressing on
Still willing to bet my life
Whoever seeks will find you
I'm gonna seek and find you


Verse 3


I lose the shoreline as I drift
Down in the bottom of the swell
Forget the daylight as I sit
Here in the belly of the whale
But then you pull me from the deep
I feel the earth beneath my feet
I still believe
Help me believe


Chorus


I'm putting all my hope in you alone
And when I cannot see, I will keep pressing on
Still willing to bet my life
Whoever seeks will find you
I'm gonna seek and find you


Chorus


I'm putting all my hope in you alone
And when I cannot see, I will keep pressing on
Still willing to bet my life
Whoever seeks will find you
I'm gonna seek and find you


Outro


I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living
I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living
I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living
I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living
I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living
I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living
I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living
I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living


Outro


I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living
I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living
I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living
I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna see it
I'm gonna wake up, In the land of the living

Meaning & Inspiration

Seek and Find is a song about longing for God and pressing on until He is found. The first verse asks for the clouds to part and the light to pour in, comparing the singer to a flower seeking the sun. The second verse calls Him the well that does not run dry and the living water, with the singer digging until finding Him, desperate in a desert.

The chorus puts all hope in Him alone, pressing on when sight fails, and betting a life that whoever seeks will find. A verse likens being in the deep to Jonah in the belly of the whale and being pulled out, and the ending repeats the hope of waking up in the land of the living. The themes fit Jeremiah 29:13, Matthew 7:7-8, John 4:10-14, Jonah 2 and Psalm 27:13. Strong repetition builds a determined, expectant mood.
