Hammer
D-S&S Lyrics

In the first stanza of "Hammer," the lyrics "Your word is a hammer, breaks every yoke" convey a powerful and authoritative imagery of the word of the Lord having the strength to break the binds that hold us back or oppress us. The hammer is symbolic of an instrument that can shatter any obstacle that stands in the way. Additionally, the reference to the word coming as a friend to comfort implies a sense of support and solace that is found in the teachings of the Lord.

The repetition of the plea "Lord my arms are wide open, Lord have your way" signifies a deep sense of surrender and openness to the will of a higher power. The imagery of open arms suggests a willingness to receive guidance and direction from a divine force. The emphasis on allowing the Lord to have His way indicates a relinquishment of control and a desire for divine intervention in one's life.

The subsequent lines "Come as a friend, like a mighty rushing wind" further develop the theme of seeking comfort and empowerment from the presence of the Lord. The comparison to a mighty rushing wind evokes a sense of strength and force that can bring about positive change and renewal. The repeated entreaty for the Lord to come as a friend indicates a desire for companionship and support in times of need.

The final stanza highlights the transformative power of the Lord as depicted in the lines "You break depression, you break addictions, you break limitations, you break every bondage, you break confusions." These statements affirm the belief in the ability of the divine to break away the chains of various struggles and challenges that individuals may face, such as mental health issues, addictive behaviors, personal barriers, and confusion. The hammer is used metaphorically to represent the force of the Lord's intervention in breaking down barriers and setting individuals free from their burdens.
