I'm so in love with You
Everything You do
Everything You say
You never let me go
You'll always in control
And I give You all my praise"
...
Jesus, I will lift Your name up
Higher than all other names
You are my God
You are my King
You are my
- Lift Your Name Up, Planetshakers.
That song will probably never be nominated for having the most superb lyrics in the world. It will probably never be on the top whatever charts wherever. It will probably never be nominated for having the best music arrangement. Some other song elsewhere would be crowned 'Song of the Year'. It's probably never going to be a Planetshakers, Hillsong, Delirous, or any Christian band for that matter. It's going to be some other band elsewhere.
However.
What makes this song different from others? It has a nice tune, yes. In fact you could almost put any lyrics to that tune. Any lyrics literally. But when one marries the tune to the power of the Word. BOOM! It has life! In fact, take cover 'cause someone's going to be different. Someone's going to lift their hands and their feet. Someone's going to come with the sacrifice of praise into His courts. Someone, somewhere will be undignified before the Lord of hosts.
In fact, Someone is coming into our midst. In His splendour and majesty, He hears the praises of His people and He says 'That sounds familiar... Ah! That's the voice of my children!' I will go and dwell in their midst. I will sit amongst them because they're not lifting the name of man up, but the Name of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
And that Someone will say, 'That... is the most superb song in the world.'
Your love covers my sin
And washes over me
Your grace it draws me in
So I can live for You
Jesus You died for me
So I will live for You my God
I will lay down my life
For the cause of the cross
And I won't try to ignore
That Your heart's cry is the lost
I will go if You say go
And I will never give it up
I will lay down my life
Because You lay down Your life
To set me free
Your love washes over
Over and over
- Set Me Free, Planetshakers.
