O We Praise
Rising from Defeat: Ode to Victory in 'O We Praise'
Lyrics
The night had fallen
The time of darkness had arrived
As He hung His head
As Jesus was crucified, lowering His head in submission
Pierced and beaten
Jesus was pierced by nails and severely beaten
He gave His final breath
He breathed His last breath, signifying the end of His earthly life
The earth was shaken
The ground trembled at the moment of His death
As the veil was torn
The curtain in the temple tore, symbolizing access to God for all
There was no other
There was no other person to bear the sacrifice that Jesus bore
To pay the price You paid
Refers to the sacrifice Jesus made for humanity
Jesus glorified
Jesus is exalted and honored
Higher than the heavens
His position is higher and more exalted than the heavens
Forever He is risen
He is eternally resurrected and alive
Jesus praise His name
Encouragement to praise the name of Jesus
To a thousand generations
His praise will endure for countless generations
Forever He is King
Jesus reigns eternally as King
O we praise the name of Jesus
We express our adoration for Jesus' name
A new day dawning
A metaphor for a new beginning, in alignment with Jesus' promises
Just as He said it would
Events unfolded as Jesus foretold
It wasn’t over
Despite appearances, the story wasn’t finished
Death could not have the final word
Death couldn’t hold power over Jesus
Sin defeated
Jesus' victory over sin is declared
You conquered hell and grave
He triumphed over the realms of hell and the grave
There was no other
Similar to line 7, emphasizing the uniqueness of Jesus' sacrifice
To pay the price You paid
Reiteration of the unmatched sacrifice Jesus made
You silenced the grave
Jesus overcame death and its silence with His resurrection
When the stone rolled away
The moment the tomb's stone was rolled away, revealing His resurrection
Jesus glorified
Jesus is glorified and honored
Higher than the heavens
His position is higher and more exalted than the heavens
Forever He is risen
Reaffirmation of His eternal resurrection and life
Jesus praise His name
Encouragement to praise Jesus' name
To a thousand generations
His praise will endure for countless generations
Forever He is King
Jesus reigns eternally as King
O we praise the name of Jesus
Repetition emphasizing continuous praise and honor for Jesus' name, the bending of knees, and the breaking of curses through His resurrection power
O we praise the name of Jesus
-O we praise the name of Jesus
-O we praise the name of Jesus
-At the name of Jesus every knee will bow

-At the name of Jesus every knee will bow
