Bow Down
Finding Solace: Embracing Hope in Times of Struggle with Mervin Mayo's 'Bow Down'
Lyrics
It's me Lord, and I'm standing in need.
Expressing a personal connection and a sense of neediness towards the divine, addressing the Lord.
I know I don't call You like I use to.
Acknowledging a decline in communication with the divine compared to the past.
But I need you to wrap Your loving arms around me.
Pleading for divine comfort and protection, symbolized by the metaphor of loving arms.
This world is going through some things
Recognizing the challenges and difficulties faced by the world.
And it's getting a little too hard to bear.
Expressing the increasing burden and hardship experienced in the world.
We've searched all over for the remedy,
Describing efforts to find solutions or relief for the world's problems.
But it look's like we cant find it no where
Conveying the difficulty in finding solutions or relief despite extensive efforts.
Then I rememeber You said to me,
Recalling a previous divine promise or guidance.
Call out My name and I'll be there
Quoting a promise from the divine to respond when called upon.
So I'm calling on the name of Jesus,
Actively seeking divine intervention by calling upon the name of Jesus.
Imma stay right here and wait
Expressing determination to wait patiently for divine assistance.
I ain't going nowhere
Emphasizing commitment and steadfastness in relying on the divine.
I know You remember that time I said
Recalling a past commitment or request made to the divine.
If you help me out this time, Lord I ain't gone do it no more,
Making a conditional promise to refrain from a certain behavior if divine help is granted.
But as soon as you delivered me from that mess
Admitting a lapse in commitment and repeating past mistakes despite divine assistance.
Like a fool, I opened up another door,
Reflecting on personal shortcomings and making unwise choices despite divine guidance.
I tend to disappoint myself sometimes, not to mention my family too,
Acknowledging personal and familial disappointments and shortcomings.
But it is in times like these that we've got to realize,
Highlighting the importance of recognizing divine help in challenging times.
That Jesus, we just cant make it without you.
Affirming the dependence on Jesus during difficult moments.
Then I rememeber you said to me,
Recalling a repeated divine assurance or guidance.
Call out my name and I'll be there
Reiterating the divine promise to respond when called upon.
So I'm calling on the name of Jesus,
Actively seeking divine intervention again by calling upon the name of Jesus.
Imma stay right here and wait
Expressing determination to remain steadfast and patient in waiting for divine assistance.
I ain't going nowhere
Reaffirming commitment and stability in relying on the divine.
Tell me How long will it be... Repeat
Pose a question about the duration of the challenging circumstances (repeated).
I am so glad that trouble don't last always ... Repeat
Expressing gratitude for the temporary nature of troubles, suggesting hope and optimism (repeated).
