Love Has Overcome
Triumph of Love: Eagle Brook Music's Overcoming Anthem
Lyrics
Beaten by the ones You love
Reference to Jesus being mistreated by those He loves
Nailed to a tree
Depiction of Jesus' crucifixion
You took the pain, the spit and shame
Recognition of the suffering endured by Jesus for humanity
You have overcome
Affirmation of Jesus' triumph over challenges
Love has overcome
Emphasis on the overarching power of love
Lord You reign in victory
Acknowledgment of Jesus' sovereignty and victory
Through Your love
Attribution of freedom to believers through God's love
We are set free
Declaration of liberation through the love of Christ
You’re alive, alive in us
Affirmation of Jesus' resurrection and presence in believers
You have overcome
Reiteration of Jesus overcoming challenges through love
Love has overcome
Reaffirmation of the prevailing power of love
You took the walk to Calvary
Recognition of Jesus' journey to the cross at Calvary
Where Your blood was shed
Reference to the shedding of Jesus' blood for salvation
They took You down into the ground
Depiction of Jesus' burial after crucifixion
But You have overcome
Affirmation of Jesus' victory over death
Love has overcome
Reiteration of love's triumph over challenges
Lord You reign in victory
Reaffirmation of Jesus' victorious reign
Through Your love
Recognition of freedom through the love of Christ
We are set free
Declaration of the life-giving power of Christ's love
You’re alive, alive in us
Reiteration of Jesus' presence and life in believers
You have overcome
Confirmation of Jesus' triumph through love
Love has overcome
Affirmation of the enduring power of love
Death could not hold You down
Assertion of Jesus' victory over death
And You rose from the grave
Recognition of Jesus' resurrection from the grave
The stone was rolled away
Symbolic depiction of the empty tomb
And death could not hold You down
Emphasis on Jesus' triumph over the grip of death
You’re alive, You’re alive
Declaration of Jesus' continuous life
Forever we will sing
Commitment to perpetual praise for Jesus' victory
And death could not hold You down
Reiteration of Jesus' conquest over death
And You rose from the grave
Reference to Jesus' resurrection and the rolled-away stone
The stone was rolled away
Symbolic depiction of the empty tomb and Jesus' triumph
And death could not hold You down
Emphasis on Jesus' victory over the power of death
You’re alive, You’re alive
Affirmation of Jesus' continuous and eternal life
Forever we will sing
Commitment to perpetual praise for Jesus' triumph
Lord You reign in victory
Reaffirmation of Jesus' victorious reign
Through Your love, we are set free
Declaration of freedom through the love of Christ
You’re alive, alive in us
Affirmation of Jesus' ongoing life within believers
You have overcome
Reiteration of Jesus' triumph over challenges
Love has overcome
Final affirmation of the overarching power of love
