Pour Your Love All Over Me
I’ve got this longing deep inside
Oh Father, can you hear me cry?
Are you really there?
And do you really care for me?
How I long with all my soul
For you to come and make me whole
Pour your love all over me
Drown me in a river of mercy
Come and fill this emptiness
Reach out and touch me
Pick me up and hold me, your child
Tell me it will be alright
So many nights I’ve cried alone
As I’ve journeyed down this road
Afraid to share my dreams
But things are not what they seem
Let me know that you are near
Because I know that you do hear
Pour your love all over me
Drown me in a river of mercy
Come and fill this emptiness
Reach out and touch me
Pick me up and hold me, your child
Tell me it will be alright
I’m very desperate for you
I want to see your spirit move
I will fall to my knees again
Just to know you more, my friend
Pour your love all over me
Drown me in a river of mercy
Come and fill this emptiness
Reach out and touch me
Pick me up and hold me, your child
Tell me it will alright
Pick me up and hold me, your child
Tell me it will be alright

Shannon, this is a beautiful plea for the love and comfort so needed. Very well penned – lovely and emotive.
Thank you. I remember the night I wrote this, Phyllis. Way back in late 2000 or 2001. And I remember feeling lost and lonely.
Nicely emotive plea Shannon, to find meaning in life and be whole. The answers are within, always, and acceptance of the true self, the appreciation of what life is. Cheers!
It’s funny that people always say the answers are within, and yet we are not always still enough to pay attention. Cheers to you.
A beautiful plea in this verse, Shannon. I am sure he is watching and listening and will pour love down upon you.
Hi, John. (I almost called you Jodah.) This was put to song shortly after I wrote it. And I found that others connected to it that way, too.
