Overjoyed Lyrics
<b>.:: Overjoyed ::.</b>
You name me
Who am I
That I should company with something so divine?
Mercy waits, Overjoyed
Prospect of finding, freeing
Freeing me
<i>Chorus:</i>
Love is the thing this time I'm sure
And I couldn't need you more now
The way that you saw things were so pure
Overjoyed
You name me
Entertain
Thoughts of peace can overcome anything
Mirror spins
Wicked tales
Here lies reflections of
Deceptions of
<i>[Chorus]</i>
Missing the me from you you gave to me
I don't like the one I have created today
Crossing nameless from the one I've earned
To be the one, the one you gave to me
You name me
Name Me
Finding, freeing me
<i>[Chorus x 2]</i>
Overjoyed, Overjoyed
You name me
Who am I
That I should company with something so divine?
Mercy waits, Overjoyed
Prospect of finding, freeing
Freeing me
And I couldn't need you more now
The way that you saw things were so pure
Overjoyed
Entertain
Thoughts of peace can overcome anything
Mirror spins
Wicked tales
Here lies reflections of
Deceptions of
I don't like the one I have created today
Crossing nameless from the one I've earned
To be the one, the one you gave to me
Name Me
Finding, freeing me

One of Jars of Clay's most cryptic and poetic songs. I believe that it's about a Christian's former transgressions being erased, and the slate essentially being wiped clean. This person's former identity was shrouded in wickedness and embarrassment, and God changed that name to joy and purity. We continually recreate the sinful self and go back to our old follies, and God continually creates the innocent, righteous self despite that. Salvation is a continuous process.
