Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This peace of God
This righteousness
This faith ,this joy
This life complete in me
Now healed and whole
And risen in His righteousness
I live in Him
And filled with this hope in God
Reflecting His Glory
Now is the time to worship You
Now is the time to offer You
All of my thoughts ,my dreams and plans
I Lay it down
Now is the time to live for You
Now is the time I'm found in You
Now is the time Your Kingdom comes
The lyrics of Geoff Bullock's song "Now Is the Time" express gratitude and reverence towards God, acknowledging the various gifts and blessings that he brings. The opening lines, "This love, this hope, this peace of God, this righteousness, this faith, this joy," describe the many qualities that come from a relationship with God, and how they complete and heal the singer. The next lines, "And risen in His righteousness, I live in Him, He lives in me," suggest a deep connection between the singer and God, indicating that the two are intertwined and mutually supportive.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that "now is the time" to worship and offer oneself to God, to surrender one's thoughts, dreams, and plans, and to live for God's kingdom. This is a call to action, urging the listener to make the most of the present moment and to prioritize devotion to God. The final line, "Now is the time Your Kingdom comes," references a key Christian prayer called the Lord's Prayer, which includes the phrase "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
