Elevated
Citizen Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyday it's amazing the way that You're taking me higher and higher
Got me up in the clouds and I ain't coming down ‘cuz my hearts on fire
I wanna live I wanna love I wanna go where You take me
I wanna run I wanna jump I wanna fly
Elevated not by power not by might but by the Spirit
Elevated not by power not by might but by the Spirit
Elevated by the King
Not by power not by might but by the Spirit of the Lord
There's not a weapon formed against me Lord that You can't conquer
‘Cuz my wings are spread and my eyes are set so my feet don't falter
I wanna live I wanna love I wanna go where You take me
I wanna run I wanna jump I wanna fly
Elevated not by power not by might but by the Spirit
Elevated not by power not by might but by the Spirit
Elevated by the King
Elevated by the King
Not by power not by might but by the Spirit of the Lord
Touch the sky so elevated
Not by sight not by religion
Saved by Grace by the Blood of Jesus
I'm alive
I wanna run I wanna jump I wanna fly
Elevated not by power not by might but by the Spirit
Elevated not by power not by might but by the Spirit
Elevated by the King
Elevated by the King
Not by power not by might but by the Spirit of the Lord
I wanna live I wanna love I wanna go where you take me
I wanna run I wanna jump I wanna fly
I wanna live I wanna love I wanna go where you take me
Not by power not by might but by the Spirit of the Lord
In Citizen Way's song Elevated, the singer expresses their unwavering faith and trust in God. The lyrics emphasize the feeling of being elevated to new heights, both emotionally and spiritually. The opening line, "everyday it's amazing the way that You're taking me higher and higher," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer feels that they are being lifted up by God, their heart is on fire, and they don't plan on coming down anytime soon. They want to live, love, and go where God takes them, running, jumping and flying along the way.
The chorus repeatedly states that they are not elevated by power or might, but by the Spirit of the Lord. This is a reminder that their elevation comes from a place of faith and trust, not necessarily from their own strength. The lyrics also touch upon the idea that no weapon formed against them can conquer them because they are lifted up and their feet don't falter. The song paints the picture of being free, unrestricted, and able to touch the sky, elevated to new heights by the love and grace of God.
Overall, Elevated is a powerful song of worship and devotion with a joyful and upbeat sound. It encourages listeners to feel lifted up and inspired, and to trust in the Spirit of the Lord to guide them on their journey.
