People of God
Redeemed Harmony: Embracing the Identity in 'People of God' Lyrics
Lyrics
With our lips let us sing one confession,
Expressing a unified confession through singing.
With our hearts hold to one truth alone.
Emphasizing commitment to a singular truth with the heart.
He has erased our transgressions,
Acknowledging the forgiveness of sins by God.
Claimed us and called us His own,
Highlighting God's claim on individuals as His own.
His very own.
Reiterating the personal connection with God as His very own.
We're the people of God,
Identifying as the collective 'people of God.'
Called by His name,
Acknowledging a divine calling by God's name.
Called from the dark
Describing a journey from darkness, symbolizing redemption.
And delivered from shame.
Emphasizing deliverance from shame through divine intervention.
One holy race, saints ev'ryone,
Uniting believers as a holy race, emphasizing equality.
Because of the blood of Christ,
Attributing the holiness to the sacrifice of Christ's blood.
Jesus the Son.
Specifically naming Jesus as the source of holiness.
Hear us, O spirits of darkness,
Addressing spiritual forces of darkness, asserting a stance.
So you will know where we stand.
Seeking clarity on the believers' position for the spiritual entities.
We are His servants,
Identifying believers as servants of God.
Purchased with scars,
Emphasizing the cost of redemption through the mention of scars.
Bought by the blood of the Lamb,
Stating the method of purchase: the sacrificial blood of the Lamb (Christ).
The blood of the Lamb.
Repeating the significance of Christ's blood in the redemption process.
