Geordie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up from the ashes Your love has brought us
Out of the darkness into the light
Lifting our sorrows
Bearing our burdens healing our hearts
To our God we lift up one voice
To our God we lift up one song
To our God we lift up one voice
Chains have been broken eyes have been
opened
An army of dry bones is starting rise
Death is defeated
We are victorious for You are alive
Hallelujah Hallelujah We'll make His praise glorious glorious,
glorious
For His name is glorious, glorious, glorious
Make His praise glorious, glorious, glorious
Shout His name Glorious, Glorious, Gloriou
The lyrics to Geordie's song Got to Know are about the redemption and salvation found in God's love. The song begins by describing how God's love has lifted us up from the ashes of our past and brought us out of darkness, healing our hearts and bearing our burdens. This imagery of rebirth is followed by the chorus, where the singer declares that they are lifting up one voice and one song to God in thanks and praise.
The second verse speaks of the transformative power of God's love, saying that chains have been broken and eyes have been opened to the truth. The singer then likens believers to an army of dry bones that is starting to rise, a reference to the Biblical story of how God brought a valley of dry bones back to life through His power. Finally, the verse ends with the triumphant declaration that death has been defeated and that we are victorious because God is alive.
The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, with the singer exhorting the listener to make God's praise glorious and shout His name in glory. Overall, the lyrics to Got to Know are a powerful testament to the transformative power of God's love, inspiring listeners to join together in worship and gratitude for all that He has done.
