Notes: This was the last song written for the album, and was inspired by the students of BIGHOUSE, who were truly reflecting the kind of selflessness, that only comes from recognizing how blessed you are.

So much of our lives is about self, and ego, and material things, (even in the Church), but these students got it; that Grace should result in a gratitude that changes you.

It's a thank-you song; about blessing and abundance, and it's a challenge to all those who call themselves Christians, to live lives that give back, as they have received.

Kevin Hughes delivers the lead line that reflects the heart of the song perfectly!

May you listen and realize the overflow in your own life.

"We overflow, with what You give."

Lyrics:

This is the praise of a grateful people,
standing amazed in the presence of Glory.
This is the wave of a loved generation
Caught in the flood of a blessing overflow.

This is the sound, of we who are tired of falling down,
of not reaching high enough,
of being blind to everyone but us.

But we see it now, clear as day, it's all around.
Everything is saturated with your light,   opening our eyes.

This is the praise of a grateful people,
standing amazed in the presence of Glory.
This is the wave of a loved generation
Caught in the flood of a blessing overflow.

This is the breath, of we who have no fear of death,
only fear of never living, wasting chances, chasing our regrets.

And we've come alive, free with wings now fit to fly,
above the fiction story written with their lies.   
The One Truth rewrites.

This is the praise of a grateful people,
standing amazed in the presence of Glory.
This is the wave of a loved generation
Caught in the flood of a blessing overflow.        

The One inside us, is greater than the one in the world that fights us.
Yes, the One inside us, is greater than the one who speaks in lies.
The One inside us,  greater than the one who tries to blind us.
The One inside us, is greater than, is greater than...

This is the praise of a grateful people,
standing amazed in the presence of Glory.
This is the wave of a loved generation
Caught in the flood of a blessing overflow.  

This is the welcome return of a soul dance,
seeing the way You are working through our hands.
These are the days we are bathed in miracles,
flooding the place with a blessing overflow.

We overflow with what You give.
