Again
Renewed Devotion: Rediscovering the Divine in Jon Foreman's 'Again'
Lyrics
Oh Lord, God of our fathers
Recognition and invocation of the divine, addressing God as the God of their ancestors.
this day let it be known
A plea for the acknowledgment of a significant event on this particular day.
That you Lord,
Continuation of addressing God, emphasizing His presence.
Are God of the present tense
Acknowledgment that God is not just a historical figure but actively involved in the present.
Oh Lord, Father of history
Recognition of God as the Father of history, highlighting His role in shaping the past.
this day let it be known
A repetition of the plea for the recognition of a significant event on this day.
That you Lord,
Reiteration of the presence of God, emphasizing His involvement in human affairs.
Are present in our human events
Affirmation that God is actively present in the ongoing events of humanity.
Answer me, Oh Lord
A prayer for God to respond and make His presence known.
Let your people know
A request for God to reveal Himself to the people.
That you're turning our hearts
An acknowledgment that God is working to redirect the hearts of the people.
Back to You again
An earnest plea for a return to God, indicating a desire for spiritual renewal.
Holy Holy
Emphasis on the holiness of God, highlighting His purity and uniqueness.
You alone are true
Reiteration of the divine holiness, emphasizing God's absolute truthfulness.
Holy Holy
Repetition of the acknowledgment of God's holiness and truth as exclusive attributes.
You alone are true
A prayer for a collective turning back to God, recognizing His sole truthfulness.
Turn us back towards you
An appeal for a collective redirection towards God.
