Lyrics
(Woah)
Expression of surprise or awe
I can hear the crying
Awareness of sorrow or distress
I can feel the pain
Sensory perception of suffering
It’s pure destruction
Describing intense damage or ruin
Coursing through our veins
Depiction of destructive forces in humanity
But our God’s not silent
Acknowledgment of God's active presence
No he’s the God who came
Recognition of God's historical intervention
Tearing down these strongholds
God dismantling strongholds, symbolic of obstacles
And he’s bringing change
Indication of positive transformation
(Woah)
Reiteration of expression of surprise or awe
In this world of darkness
Characterization of the world as dark
You are the light
Affirmation of Jesus as a source of illumination
Where love’s distorted
Observation of distorted love and moral inversion
And what was wrong is right
Recognition of moral confusion
Well there’s a kingdom coming
Anticipation of a divine kingdom
And yeah it’s breaking fast
Assertion of the imminent arrival of change
Our God is breaking through this place
God's active intervention in the world
Like a wall of glass
Simile of God's impact compared to breaking glass
Jesus you make all things new, all things new
Declaration of Jesus' transformative power
Woah
Reiteration of expression of surprise or awe
Jesus you make all things new, make us more like you
Invoking Jesus to bring about transformation
Jesus you make all things new, all things new
Repetition of the declaration of transformative power
Woah
Reiteration of expression of surprise or awe
Jesus you make all things new, make us more like you
Appeal to Jesus for personal transformation
In this broken world
Characterization of the world as broken
We will proclaim
Pledge to proclaim God's rule in the broken world
That you’re the God who rules
Assertion of God's role as a ruler bringing change
And you’re bringing change
Commitment to proclaim God's transformative power
And when the devil roars
Metaphorical reference to evil opposition
We will shout your name
Expression of defiance against evil
Jesus, Jesus
Invocation of Jesus in the face of adversity
You make all things new
Reiteration of Jesus' transformative power
Woah, you make all things new woah
Expressing the continuous renewal by Jesus
You make all things new
Repetition of the affirmation of renewal
Woah you make all things new woah
Continued emphasis on Jesus' transformative ability
You make all things new
Final declaration of Jesus' power to make all things new
