We Made it
Hezekiah Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the enemy came in to threaten our lives
God lifted a standard
Devine protection
No weapon formed
Shall prosper against us
I made it this far, by faith
My future's brighter than my today
I survived
I'm a Survivor!!(x3)
Let's Stand in liberty
Let's Walk in unity
Let's Pray continually
We made it
We made it (x3)
The lyrics to Hezekiah Walker's song "We Made it" is centered around the concept of surviving amidst challenges and obstacles. The opening lines emphatically state "We made it, we survived." It's a declaration to both God and the enemy forces that threatened their lives that they have emerged victorious. The word "survive" is repeated several times, creating an atmosphere of triumph over adversity. The next line shifts focus to God and His divine intervention in their lives. God's protection is symbolized by the phrase "God lifted a standard." The following line talks about the inefficacy of weapons formed against them. It's a reminder that God's protection is unconditional and unwavering, and that as believers, they have immunity from weapons aimed at destroying them.
The bridge presents a personal testimony of faith. The singer expresses their confidence in the future, stating that it's brighter than their today. They acknowledge that they have come this far by faith and are confident that God's protective hand will continue to sustain them. The refrain repeats the earlier declaration of survival, this time, implying that they are a "survivor" - someone who has emerged victorious despite difficult times.
The chorus urges believers to stand in liberty, walk in unity, and pray continually. It's an exhortation to come together, support one another, and draw strength from their collective faith. The song ends on a high note, repeating its central message of triumph and declaring that "we made it" not once but thrice.
