Sarah Reeves - We Will Never Be The Same Lyrics
Lyrics
Just a drop of glory form the Heavens
Just a glance of fire from Your eyes
Just a touch of power from the hands that move the waves
We pray
For just a taste of water from the stream of life
Just the echoing of angels songs
Just a whisper from the voice that calms the raging storm
O Lord
We would never be the same
We would never be the same
We would never be the same again
We would never be the same
Oh that faith would rise up from the ashes
And oh that love would blossom like a rose
Oh that every heart and soul would trust the power
Of your name
We would never be the same
We would never be the same
We would never be the same again
We would never be the same
We would never be the same
We would never be the same
We would never be the same again
We would never be the same
We will never be the same
We will never be the same
We will never be the same again
We will never be the same

Meaning & Inspiration
Sarah Reeves' "We Will Never Be The Same," released as part of her *More Than Enough* project on May 3rd, 2024, is a profound exploration of transformative encounter with the divine. The song opens with a yearning for even the slightest manifestation of God’s presence: a mere drop of His glory, a glimpse of His fiery gaze, a touch of His powerful hand. This imagery echoes the disciples' awe at Jesus’ miracles, such as when He calmed the storm with a single command, demonstrating His authority over nature, as recorded in Mark 4:35-41. Reeves articulates a desire for more than just fleeting moments, petitioning for a taste of the living water, a reference to Jesus' promise in John 4:10-14 that belief in Him leads to an inexhaustible spring within. The request for the echo of angelic songs and a whisper from the voice that silences tempest further emphasizes the deep peace and overwhelming presence that God offers, mirroring the heavenly hosts described in Luke 2:13-14 and the peace Jesus brought to His followers, as seen in John 14:27.
The central refrain, "We would never be the same," is not merely a wish but a declarative statement of the inevitable consequence of encountering the sacred. This transformation is deeply rooted in biblical narratives. The song then shifts to a powerful plea for faith to rise from dormancy, likening it to life emerging from ashes, a powerful metaphor found in Isaiah 61:3, where God promises to provide for those who mourn, granting them a crown of beauty instead of ashes. The aspiration for love to blossom like a rose evokes the rich symbolism of beauty, growth, and divine favor, reminiscent of the Song of Solomon, particularly chapter 2, where the bride compares her beloved to a rose among thorns. The ultimate prayer is for every heart and soul to surrender to the power of God's name, a name that signifies His character, authority, and redemptive work. This echoes Philippians 2:10, which states that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow. The song’s earnest and inspiring message underscores the reality that a genuine encounter with God is not a superficial experience but a fundamental, life-altering event, leaving one irrevocably changed in faith, love, and trust.
