Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lord, rend the Heavens and come down
Seek the lost and heal the lame
Jesus, bring glory to Your name
Let all the prodigals run home
All of creation waits and groans
Lord, we've heard of Your great fame
Salvation, spring up from the ground
Lord, rend the Heavens and come down
Seek the lost and heal the lame
Jesus, bring glory to Your name
Let all the prodigals run home
All of creation waits and groans
Lord, we've heard of Your great fame
Father, 'cause all to shout Your name
Stir up our hearts, oh God
And open our spirits to awe, who You are
Put a cry in us so deep inside
That we cannot find the words we need
We just weep and cry out to You
Salvation, spring up from the ground
Lord, rend the Heavens and come down
Seek the lost and heal the lame
Jesus, bring glory to Your name
Let all the prodigals run home
All of creation waits and groans
Lord, we've heard of Your great fame
Father, 'cause all to shout Your name
Stir up our hearts, oh God
And open our spirits to awe, who You are
Put a cry in us, so deep inside
That we cannot find the words we need
We just weep and cry out to You, to You
Cry out to You
Salvation, spring up from the ground
Lord, rend the Heavens and come down
Seek the lost and heal the lame
Jesus, bring glory to Your name
Let all the prodigals run home
All of creation waits and groans
Lord, we've heard of Your great fame
Father, 'cause all to shout Your name
Salvation, spring up from the ground
Lord, rend the Heavens and come down
Salvation, spring up from the ground
Lord, rend the Heavens and come down
Salvation, spring up from the ground
Lord, rend the Heavens and come down
Salvation, spring up from the ground
Lord, rend the Heavens and come down
The song "Salvation" by Charlie Hall (1) is a hymn-like prayer for God's intervention and salvation. It begins with a plea for God to come down, seek the lost and heal the sick. The song encourages all "prodigals" to come back home to God, and for all of creation to wait and groan for his coming. The lyrics implore God to stir up our hearts, open our spirits to awe, and put a cry in us so deep that it cannot be expressed in words alone.
The overarching message of the song is hope for salvation and healing through Jesus Christ. In the midst of a difficult and broken world, the songwriter turns to God for comfort, restoration, and redemption. The song can be interpreted as a call for individuals and the church as a whole to recommit to their faith and trust in God's power to bring about change in the world.
