SAVIOR
Hillsong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could this be true?
Defies the world I see
Yet this is all my heart was longing for
To know You my Lord
To know You Lord
You deserve
You deserve all the praise
The heavens wept for You
The earth cried out "Could He be the One?"
For You so loved the world
You gave Your only Son to say
I love you so
Oh how I love You so
Hallelujah to the King
Hallelujah we will sing forever
And all humanity
Aches to find this beautiful love You give
We come to You again
To offer up our lives
To worship You alone
To worship You alone
The lyrics to Hillsong's "Savior" describe the overwhelming feeling of awe and gratitude towards Jesus Christ for sacrificing himself on the cross for our sins. The first verse speaks of a savior on a hill dying for our shame, questioning if it could possibly be true. This gesture of love defies the negativity and evil present in the world, yet it is exactly what our hearts were longing for. The chorus emphasizes Jesus' worthiness of all praise and adoration. The second verse describes how the heavens were moved and the earth questioned if he could be the one, echoing the emotions felt by many of Jesus' followers during his time on earth. The bridge speaks to the universal desire of all humans to experience the unconditional love and grace that Jesus offers, and acknowledges our willingness to offer our lives in worship to Him.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of the depth of love and gratitude felt towards Jesus for his sacrifice on the cross. It reminds us that despite the turmoil and chaos in the world, Jesus remains the source of hope, love, and salvation. The lyrics also highlight the desire of all humanity to experience this love and offer our lives in worship to Him.

Who is here wanting a fresh renewal kind of true spirit driven worship songs of old hillsong than "these new ones"?! For me THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OLD HILLSONG MUSIC THAN THESE NEW ONES. I CHOOSE THE OLD..THEY WERE HAVING A REVIVAL but today I doubt it's just dried music.

Thanks be to God for inspiring His servants to write such beautiful songs. It makes me forget my worries and best of all it helps me to sleep when I can’t sleep and I play His songs. God bless
