Writer: Bryan Fowler, Toby McKeehan
Well, I thought that I had seen most everything
And if jaded was a people, I’d be the king
So cold to what a brand new day could bring
So icy cold to all the wonder that should be movin’ me
Overthinking You, hot like June
I’m jumpin’ out my skin just tryin’ to catch of a view
You got me on the edge
Got me on the edge of my seat
I can feel it rushin’ over me
I can feel it rushin’ over me
You got me on the edge
I am on the edge of my seat
I can feel it rushin’ over me
I can feel it rushin’ over me
Lost all my worries, feels like Christmas came early
Yeah, I can stay here day and night and never feel no hurry
Needless to mention, Lord, You got my attention
My eyes are wide with wonder, feelin’ for the soul ascension
‘Cause no one else is ever gonna do for me
Ever gonna do for me what You’d do for me, yeah
Ain’t no one ever gonna steal the mystery You put right in front o’ me
Right in front o’ me, yeah
You got me on the edge
Got me on the edge of my seat
I can feel it rushin’ over me
I can feel it rushin’ over me
You got me on the edge
I am on the edge of my seat
I can feel it rushin’ over me
I can feel it rushin’ over me
You got me on the edge
I am on the edge of my seat
And I can feel the wonder rushin’ over me
You are openin’ my eyes
You’re openin’ my eyes, Lord
To brand new possibilities
You are openin’ my eyes
You’re openin’ my eyes, Lord
To brand new possibilities
You are openin’ my eyes
You’re openin’ my eyes, Lord
To brand new possibilities
You are openin’ my eyes
You’re openin’ my eyes, Lord (my eyes, Lord)
To brand new possibilities
Behold, I am doin’ a new thing in the land
It’s springin’ forth
Do you believe it? (Hey)
You got me on the edge
I am on the edge of my seat
I can feel it rushin’ over me
I can feel it rushin’ over me
You got me on the edge
I am on the edge of my seat
I can feel it rushin’ over me
I can feel it rushin’ over me
You got me on the edge
I am on the edge of my seat
I can feel it rushin’ over me
I can feel it rushin’ over me
You got me on the edge
I am on the edge of my seat
(I can feel it rushin’ over me
To brand new possibilities)
You are openin’ my eyes
You’re openin’ my eyes, Lord
To brand new possibilities
You are openin’ my eyes
You’re openin’ my eyes, Lord
Edge of My Seat Song Meaning
The song moves from jaded indifference to renewed wonder as God captures attention and replaces worry with expectancy.
Biblical Message
Isaiah 43:19 announces God doing a new thing. Psalm 40:5 celebrates His wonders, and Philippians 4:6–7 directs worry toward prayer and peace.
