VERSE 1:
My soul thirsts for things I can’t explain
In my bones a beckoning to pray
If my heart is a battleground
My defences run both ways
The flesh is a beggar and thief
But there is a Spirit-man awakening me
VERSE 2:
When real life and peace won’t make amends
When all these starts
Start feeling like these ends
Like the world is unravelling
And I’m bound to come undone
There is a Shepherd a Priest
There is a Comforter who comforts me
REFRAIN 1:
And my soul finds rest
Where it makes no sense
There the blood sets me free
REFRAIN 2:
All my old regrets
All my brokenness
All my failures redeemed
REFRAIN 3:
And it feels like grace
Where I stacked my shame
There the cross stands for me
REFRAIN 4:
All the things I’ve done
All the times I’ve run
All my dead ends redeemed
REFRAIN 5:
And it looks like hope
Where my heart was broke
And His heart broke for me
BRIDGE:
Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him
Lay your burden down
PRE-CHORUS:
Jesus my rest in peace
My reconciler
You’re my every good thing
REFRAIN 6:
I surrender all
All I’m living for
You’re my every good thing
REFRAIN 7:
You’re my amnesty
You’re my split wide sea
You’re my every good thing
REFRAIN 8:
All my days and nights
You’re my death to life
You’re the wonder I breathe
REFRAIN 9:
You’re my can’t explain
First and last refrain
You’re my every good thing

Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.❤

[@user-ic1re4zt8f]

Amen he lives and reigns

[@bellillechery2761]

It's still on repeat in 2024. This song is keeping me through the hardest time 😢

[@calbieyum6301]

I love how it starts with 'My soul thirsts for things I can't explain' and ends with 'You're my can't explain. First and last refrain' It was Him that I was thirsting for all along.

[@lovedandchosen]

Wow. I'd never seen the song in this light before. Thanks for sharing. God indeed is the 'can't explain' that our hearts constantly thirst for.

[@nooanced]

that's really deep. it says 'first and last refrain' and indeed, it was the first and last refrain of the song. thank you so much for sharing this!

[@mkm6608]

I always say Joel downloads lyrics straight from the throne room of heaven. He's an anointed writer and artist. Truth is such songs can only be written and sung with the help of the Holy Spirit.

I know Joel on the strings. I've never seen him on the keys. This song is sincerely on another level. Holy Spirit breathed, word by word.

[@daniellec.1636]

He plays the guitar, piano, and drums. Of course, Abba speaks to Him in ways that allow us to capture those moments in these beautiful songs.

In the past, We did bad things, We spoke bad words, We lied not to go to church, We were unfair, We spoke bad about others, We treated others bad, We are always imperfect, ....but... There is 1 who loved us back then, loves us now, and will love us till the end of time, He'll forgive our imperfections, He is the most high, He has all the powers, He has all the keys, He owns all the Kingdoms, He owns all your dreams, He owns all your days, He owns the past, He owns the present, He owns the furure, He owns all the planets, He owns all the billions of Galaxies, He owns all the Universe and eventhough He owns all that... ....he decided to carry all humanity's sin on his shoulders, to suffer and let his body bleed and be destroyed, And all that for just 1 reason... ....because He LOVES you He loves us, and He did everything for you To be with you Our imperfections? He will forgive us, All he wants is our Heart for him. All we need is Love ...and Jesus is Love. The world needs Jesus. ...that is what I felt when I listened to this amazing song, (specially the chorus! :) Thank you God for giving us this music blessing through Hillsong God Bless you.

[@mauwach]

I totally agree!

[@mercykeletsoqueen4182]

It took me long to understand this song its just too deep

[@jpaulo916]

I think it's because of the lyrics that are complicated to sing for those who are not fluent in English. I'm Brazilian and it took me a long time to learn to sing the whole song. It is really magnificent, but difficult to sing for us.

[@nagabaracheal67]

I've been listening to this song since its release, but just yesterday evening I listened to it for 2 hours non stop, then after praying at 1 am, felt like I should listen to it again. trust me every word had a revelation. I was touched, found myself crying for an hour while listening to it till 2am. when my soul finds rest, where it makes no sense, there the blood sets me free. all my old regrets, all my brokenness, all my failures redeemed. when it feels like grace, where I stacked my shame, there the cross stands for me. all the things I've done, all the times I've run, all my dead end redeemed....... I surrender all, all am living for, Jesus is my every good thing Surely, God bless Joel & Brooke and the entire Hillsong team.
