Heroes
Amanda Lindsey Cook Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the striving cease
I lay down my crown
Here at your feet
I will trust
Here in the mystery
I will trust
Awake my soul to sing
With your breath in me
I will worship
You taught my feet to dance
Upon disappointment and I
I will worship
Let the weary rise
Let their eyes to see
Your love crushing every lie
Every doubt and fear
I will trust
Here in the mystery
I will trust
In you completely
Awake my soul to sing
With your breath in me
I will worship
You taught my feet to dance
Upon disappointment and I
I will worship
Hallelujah, hallelujah
You are making
All things new
Hallelujah, hallelujah
You are making
All things new
Hallelujah, hallelujah
You are making
All things new
Hallelujah, hallelujah
You are making
All things new
Awake my soul to sing
With your breath in me
I will worship
You taught my feet to dance
Upon disappointment and I
I will worship
And I, I will worship
In Amanda Lindsey Cook's song "Heroes," the lyrics seem to be addressing several themes of surrender, trust, and renewal. The lyrics begin with the words, "Let the heroes rest, let the striving cease," which may suggest a call to surrender and let go of the idea that one has to be constantly pushing and striving to be a hero or to accomplish great things. The subsequent lines, "I lay down my crown, here at your feet," imply that the singer is surrendering their own ambitions and goals to a higher power and committing to trusting that power.
The lyrics continue with the repetition of the phrase, "I will trust, here in the mystery, I will trust in you completely." This seems to reinforce the theme of surrender and trust in a higher power or the unknown. The lyrics also speak of awakening the soul to sing and worship, with the lines "With your breath in me, I will worship." This may suggest a call to connect with something greater than oneself and to find joy and meaning in that connection.
The lyrics then shift to inviting the "weary" to rise and see the love that can crush doubt and fear. This may suggest that the singer is not alone in this surrender and trust, and that the power they are connecting with can also provide comfort and strength to others. Finally, the lyrics end with the repeated phrase, "You are making all things new," which may signify the theme of renewal and the idea that surrendering and trusting in a higher power can lead to transformation and growth.

Heróis
Deixe os heróis descansarem
Deixe o esforço cessar
Eu dou minha coroa
Aqui a seus pés
Eu vou confiar
Aqui no mistério
Eu vou confiar
Em você completamente
Desperta minha alma para cantar
Com o seu ar em mim
Eu vou adorar
Você ensinou meus pés a dançarem
Após a decepção e eu
Eu vou adorar
Deixe o cansado ressurgir
Deixe seus olhos para ver
Seu amor esmagando toda mentira
Toda a dúvida e medo
Eu vou confiar
Aqui no mistério
Eu vou confiar
Em você completamente
Desperta minha alma para cantar
Com o seu ar em mim
Eu vou adorar
Você ensinou meus pés a dançarem
Após a decepção e eu
Eu vou adorar
Aleluia, Aleluia

Tudo novo

I cried when I heard “you’re not embarrassed, you’re not ashamed... you stand in wonder of what you made” So many times I get nervous about what people will think about me in my past or present, but God looks beyond every fault. This song is great reminder of that. God’s love is unconditional. “IAM LOVED, I AM LOVED BY YOU”
