Planetshakers - I Came For You Lyrics
Lyrics
All it takes is one moment
And just one touch from you
I put aside all distractions
Cause I came for you, I came for you
I need you more than ever
Nothing else satisfies
All my life I surrender
I'll live for you, I'll live for you
I came for you, I came for you
Holy Spirit You are welcome
Come and move upon this place
We desire an encounter once again
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit
Now that my heart is open
I am ready for you
Jesus take me deeper
I came for you, I came for you
I came for you, I came for you
Holy Spirit You are welcome
Come and move upon this place
We desire an encounter once again
Send your fire, release your power
So we'll never be the same
We desire and encounter once again
We make way, we make room
Lord let your spirit move
Have your way in this place
Lord we have come for you
(We make way, we make room
Lord let your spirit move
Have your way in this place
Lord we have come for you)
We make way, we make room
Lord let your spirit move
Have your way in this place
Lord we have come for you
Holy Spirit You are welcome
Come and move upon this place
We desire an encounter once again
Send your fire, release your power
So we'll never be the same
We desire and encounter once again
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit
We make way, we make room
Lord let your spirit move
Have your way in this place
Lord we have come for you

Meaning & Inspiration
"I Came For You" by Planetshakers, featured on their 2016 album *Overflow*, is a powerful declaration of faith and surrender, rooted deeply in the transformative encounter with God. The song’s central theme resonates with the profound truth found in Scripture that when we seek God, we find Him, and in His presence, our lives are irrevocably changed. The "overflow" referenced in the album title itself speaks to the abundance of God’s Spirit and the overflowing joy and purpose He brings, a concept beautifully mirrored in the song’s unwavering focus. The core message isn’t about a performance or a fleeting emotional high; it's about a deliberate, purposeful coming, much like the disciples who left everything to follow Jesus. This intentionality echoes the words of Jeremiah 29:13, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart," highlighting the depth of commitment required to truly encounter the divine. The song captures the essence of coming not for a transactional exchange, but for a deep, relational connection, a desire to be in the very presence of the Creator. This mirrors the sentiment of Psalm 27:4, which states, "One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life." It's a recognition that God's presence is the ultimate destination, the source of all fulfillment. The impact of this encounter is transformative, leading to a life that overflows with His grace and power, mirroring the promise in John 10:10 where Jesus says He came "that they may have life, and have it to the full" or "overflowing." The song's invitation is to lay down our own agendas and come with an open heart, ready to receive whatever God has planned, recognizing that His plans are always for our good, as affirmed in Jeremiah 29:11. Ultimately, "I Came For You" is an anthem of devotion, a testament to the life-altering power found when we approach God with genuine desire, seeking Him above all else, and finding in His presence an abundance that spills over into every aspect of our being.
