We
Barry Rowland and Deliverance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your life is slowly growing cold
Life just seems so much harder: all the battles day by day
That's when we must stand up and be bold
Be bold
So, let us not grow weary in doing what is right
God shall renew our strength to fight
Remember, we reap what we sow
Spirit everlasting life
It's yours
We shall reap - if we faint not
Seeing that we have a great high priest, Jesus: the Son of God
In all points tempted as we are
Sinless, He won the battle; given power to His own
Look up, your redemption is not afar
Be ready
We shall reap - if we faint not
The lyrics to Barry Rowland and Deliverance's song "We Shall Reap" are intended to encourage listeners to stay strong in their faith during difficult times. The first verse speaks to the feeling of weariness or exhaustion that can come from continually trying to live a spiritual life in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving. However, the lyrics encourage the listener to be steadfast and bold in their beliefs, as God will renew their strength and provide them with the ability to fight against temptation and sin.
The second verse references Jesus as the ultimate example of someone who can relate to the struggles of humanity, as he was "tempted in all points" just as we are. However, unlike humanity, Jesus was able to remain sinless and win the battle against temptation. The lyrics call on listeners to remember this example and to always be ready for their own "redemption," or salvation. Overall, the song is an uplifting reminder to stay true to one's faith, even in the face of adversity.
