Lyrics
Verse 1
Yearning deep within my heart
To know You better than ever
Tell me, what could ever hold me back
From having more of You
Nothing, no, never
Precious One, please fall on me
Set my heart aglow
Fill my cup with Your sweet love
Let it overflow
Chorus
Won't You fall on me
I got to know You better
Won't You fall on me
I need You more than ever
Verse 2
I wanna learn more about You
To see You clearer than ever
I could never have too much of You
I'm always wanting more
Keeps getting better
Sweeter than the summer rain
Won't You fall on me
Drench my soul in heaven's love
Deeper than the sea
Chorus
Won't You fall on me
I got to know You better
Won't You fall on me
I need You more than ever
Bridge
If I could have it all
Knowledge great and small
All the wealth and fame
This world could bring
It would not mean a thing
If I could not speak Your name
Jesus, all things come from You
Chorus
Won't You fall on me
I got to know You better
Won't You fall on me
I need You more than ever, yeah...

Meaning & Inspiration
Fall on Me is a prayer of longing to know God more. The first verse expresses a yearning within the heart to know Him better than ever, asks what could hold the singer back from having more of Him, and calls Him the Precious One, asking Him to fall on the singer, set the heart aglow and fill the cup with love until it overflows. The chorus repeats "Won't You fall on me," with the reason that the singer wants to know Him better and needs Him more than ever.
The second verse says the singer wants to learn more about Him and to see Him more clearly, that there can never be too much of Him, and asks to be drenched in heaven's love. The bridge says that knowledge, wealth and fame would mean nothing without speaking His name. The themes follow Psalm 63:1, Philippians 3:8 and Psalm 23:5. The gentle repetition gives the song a tender, hungry tone suited to quiet worship.
