I think it accurately shows how we can feel when we finally open up and trust in the lord to lead us and guide us. Thanks Matt

Absolutely amazing! Refrain is easy to pick up, the verses are simple yet incredibly descriptive, and it's fun to sing and to just rock out with!

I was sitting in my room and, like water quenching a thirsty soul, words and notes came to my heart. In that moment, "Overflow" was born. It reminds me of the response of David in Psalm 23:
You prepare a table in the sight of my foes.
You anoint my head with oil,
and my cup overflows.
In the sight of our sinfulness, God prepares a place in us and anoints us. His cup overflows into us, and our cup — our heart — overflows with his grace and mercy, spilling out into everything we do and everything we are.

Lyrics
Your grace is power
Your will forever
Your love is a river
Overflow in me
Your word: true presence
Your body: our recompense
Your blood: salvation
Overflow in me
Overflow in me, my Lord
Overflow in me, my Lord
Let your people bless you
As your cup is poured
Overflow in me, my Lord
Overflow in me, my Lord
Our worship of you
It's your gift to us from you
No one could give this gift but you
Overflow in me
We lift up our hearts
We lift up our souls
We lift up our minds
And every good thing is yours
Every good thing is yours
So overflow
