Hillsong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That He gave His only Son
And whosoever believes will not perish
They shall have eternal life (we believe in God)
I shall hold to the cross
I shall hold to God alone
For His love has salvaged me
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
And whosoever believes will not perish
They shall have eternal life (Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
I shall wait upon the Lord
I shall wait upon His word
And by His grace I am released
And by His grace I am redeemed
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
And whosoever believes will not perish
They shall have eternal life
By His precious blood
I have been set free
For the glory of Jesus' name
I surrender all
Now to Christ the Lord
In Jesus I am saved
By His precious blood
I have been set free
For the glory of Jesus' name
I surrender all
Now to Christ the Lord
In Jesus I am saved
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
And whosoever believes will not perish
They shall have eternal life
Yes, they shall have eternal life
The lyrics of Hillsong's song "God So Loved" speaks about the boundless love of God for humanity. The first verse of the song mentions how God demonstrated His love for the world by giving His only Son for humanity's salvation. The Bible in John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This verse is the inspiration for the song's chorus, which declares the power of belief in Jesus' salvation, which promises eternal life.
The second verse of the song speaks on the response of believers to this salvation. It articulates the need to remain steadfast in the love of God for salvation on the cross. This verse reminds us of the freedom we have been given in Christ and how we should cling to Him alone. The third verse emphasizes the importance of waiting patiently upon the Lord, surrender to His will, and being redeemed by His grace. It encourages believers to behave in repentance and faith observation, leading to an eternal life given by believing in Jesus.
In summary, the lyrics provide a description of the boundless love of God for humanity and the requirement to believe and cling to Jesus to receive this love's gift, which promises eternal life.

Hi, Iβm a normal teenage girl. My dad is a missionary, and my parents and I are currently in the mission field which God has lead us to. I used to live in America for more than half my life. I always thought I was a normal girl, laughing and not even checking once to praise the Lord for giving me such a wonderful life. I was (still am) a very worrisome girl. Whenever I got a weird rash, Iβd run to mom, in tears, because I was so worried... Iβd never even come to God for ONE moment just to ask him for help. All my worries, doubts, so on, Iβd never consider asking God to take them from me. I always do daily devotion with my mom, but until one day, I just started to despise writing down the Word, and I just started to stop. I was always doing something else, and picking up Bible was not even on my list of things to do. But recently, My parents and I are going to move to another place in Europe, and leaving my friends and school here will be so hard. (Considering I look different from the natives that live here) it is a very hard time, but now Iβm so rejoiced because I actually get to realize that God will always be with me. I wish I could tell you my whole story of my life, but this isnβt even half of it. Praise the Lord Almighty.

I am glad to see your testimony. I am French and I know that living in Europe is not necessarily easy when it comes to evengelising. Therefore, I want to encourage you, I want to tell you not to give up on this. If you're in Europe, please talk to people about Jesus, do not stop talking about it ! Thanks for your testimony ;), be blessed and never give up ;)
