Melody Of Salvation
Benjamin Dunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I sing your melodies
A hymn of love, songs of blood
Spilling from my mouth
All of my praises, whoa, belong to you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh
And sing salvation's song
Your praises fill the air I breath
With the sweetest melodies
And all of my praises belong to you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh
The lyrics of Benjamin Dunn's "Melody of Salvation" reflect a deep sense of devotion and surrender to a higher power. The metaphorical use of musical instruments, such as strings and harps, suggests a spiritual connection with God. The opening line "Strike the strings on my heart" speaks to the desire to have one's deepest emotions and desires resonate with the divine. The following line, "And I sing your melodies," suggests that the act of surrendering oneself to the divine leads to a sense of connection and purpose.
The repeated line "All of my praises, whoa, belong to you" reinforces the idea of surrender and the desire to give oneself fully to God. The notion of "songs of blood spilling from my mouth" may suggest a recognition of the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus Christ, and the idea that one's praise and worship is a reflection of that sacrifice. The final verse, with its call to "pluck my heart like a harp" and "sing salvation's song," is a plea for the divine to continue to inspire and guide in the journey towards salvation.
