The theology of this song is to evidence the unlimited power of the Holy Spirit. There is a daily need for a fresh outpouring of His Spirit. Romans 8:11 provides that “All those who put their faith in Jesus Christ are immediately and permanently indwelt by the Holy Spirit.” 1 Corinthian 2:11(NIV) “For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” The theological frame of this song stems from John revelation of the seven Spiritual expressions of the Holy Spirit which are evidenced in Scripture in Revelation 1:4, 3:1, 4:5 and in Revelation 5:6 where it is declared “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven …show more content…
3). This song cries out for a breath of God that allows the illumination of the truth of God’s Word to be revealed to us shaking off any and all shackles created by the darkness of sin which confines and restricts our very being holding us as hostages. “It is the privilege of the humblest believer in Jesus Christ not merely to have his mind illumined to comprehend the truth of God, but to have a Divine Teacher to daily teach him the truth he needs to know (1 John 2:20, 27).” As we consider what God has done in us and for us, this song is a plea for a breath of God that beckons us to repentance. A breath whose strength, and majestic power causes knees to bow down in humble supplication praying that God will show up. After He has shown up, the world may truly know that “He is the God who has invaded our lives with his transforming
For example, one line, “Soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy hearts will quiver, with the melody of peace,” which is saying that one day we will die, and you can’t stop that. “Lay we every burden down; Grace our spirits will deliver, and provide a robe and a crown,” also reveals that you should appreciate what we’ve had, and what was given to us. This song is telling you, in every line, that you can’t live forever, but appreciate what you have, while you
In the beginning, before any lyrics are sung, the music starts off slow and very inviting. The purpose of this to relieve yourself and just be able to sit back and take in everything he is about to say, and take something away from this song to help the listener for the days to come.The first message the speaker tries to convey comes from the first two lines, “You know there’s a light
In the first stanza we are captivated by hope, because it “dangles on a string” before us, not quite in our grasp, because even though we are aware of it, we do not fully have a handle on what it means to be hopeful (1). This is then said to be like “slow-spinning redemption” (2). Again, this is because we do not fully appreciate redemption. We can see it before us, in many different lights, hence spinning, but we do not really understand what makes redemption what it is. Because we do not comprehend the concepts of hope and redemption they “rope us in” and “mesmerize” us (5, 6). We spend a lot of time in our youth...
And the church sang a song about the lower lights are burning, some poor sinners to be saved. And the whole building rocked with prayer and song.” (Paragraph 4, line 1). “Then I was left all alone on the mourners' bench. My aunt came and knelt at my knees and cried, while prayers and song swirled all around me in the little church. The whole congregation prayed for me alone, in a mighty wail of moans and voices. And I kept waiting serenely for Jesus, waiting, waiting - but he didn't come.”(Paragraph 6, line
..., but still pleads for God to "take me in" (ll. 41), and promises to "pay...in happiness" for mercy. Once again, the speaker demonstrates the same desires for physical treasures that he expresses in the first stanza as he asks God to "give mine eye / A peephole there to see bright glory's chases" (ll. 39-40). Even in the God's kingdom, the speaker reveals his humanity as he focuses on ornamentation which starkly contrasts with God's divinity as He has the ability to show love even for sinners.
...ing to your faith. How much you trust God determines how much God mystically enchants you. This lyrics influences listeners encouraging them not to give up and to know that they can make it through faith no matter what.
Looking at verse six, and two, it is easy to see when they are singing “So do we, so do we” that fear takes over as all the injured dying men think that their families will never know what happened to them. They will be lost and forgotten forever. (A Tisket A
The second stanza starts off saying much the same thing. It expands upon the idea of wanting the Lord to mold his heart an...
The second verse tells us about the many attempts the mentor has made to rejuvenate the teens life, ?Lay down a list of what is wrong/The things you've told him all along.? The last two lines in the second verse are repeated ?and pray to God he hears you/and pray to God he hears you? which is emphasizes the angst of the mentor because of the numerous times he has tried to save the teen.
These tenors represent the full spectrum of emotions and strength in life. It is as if he is discussing god and the life you have been given. It is gentle enough that you often feel strong and powerful but also strong enough to humble you.
The mood and the atmosphere created in the first stanza emphasise that the speaker is confused and in disbelief. The beautiful church and a place of worship which is supposed to help out the poor and follow St Francis' orders
The first three verses are about other people and the repition is to give it atmosphere.
This verse also shows a conflict between John and his wife. She thinks that she isn’t as perfect as John tells her. She doesn’t believe it when he is complimenting her. I think this woman should feel very happy because there is a man who accepts her for who her is and loves every piece of hers with all of his heart. No matter how bad she feels about herself, no matter what she is going through, this man will only be there for her always. In his eyes, she is beautiful in every single way. “The world is beating you down, I’m around through every mood / You’re my downfall, you’re my muse / My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues / I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you.” She brings him down but also inspires him at the same time. He can’t stop thinking about her. She means everything to him. Whatever the best and the worst, and that’s a truly balanced
Once all the parts are complete, he wants the colors of heaven. This shows he is ready to give his life to the Lord. The last stanza ensures that through prayer God could lift your spirit, adjust your attitude toward life and make you have feelings when you have done something morally wrong. Taylor’s line, “My Words, and Actions, that their shine may fill” is telling God that he talk to people appropriately and his actions will be sincere.
The song accomplishes such a thing by taking the approach of a man who knows he is dying, and who takes a nice approach to it. Before the man dies and gets to experience the beauty of heaven, he explains to his loved ones that he doesn't want them to cry for him when he is gone but rather be happy for him. Images of different seasons of the year to explain the process of growing older. Images that depict the fading of light in a persons soul transforming into darkness. Images that the reader can perceive as vivid actions.
