Hillsong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Upon that cross
You gave yourself for us
Carried into your freedom
Our broken past replaced in
A second chance
The chains have come undone
[Chorus:]
We are,
Living to make your name high
Jesus
Living to make your name high
Jesus you,
Gave what the world couldn't offer us
Say what they want, say what they want
We are free
The atmosphere is changing,
Oh can you hear
The people rising up
In the hope of your freedom
Our former ways are breaking
We seek your face,
God let your kingdom come
In our praises be lifted up
[Bridge:]
With eyes on high we praise you
And with one voice we come together
Our one desire to praise you
And lift you up in our surrender
With eyes on high we praise you
And with one voice we come together
Our one desire to praise you
And lift you up 'cause we are

Your innocence forsaken
The purity of your nature was sacrificed for our sake
Upon that cross
On the cross where you were nailed
You gave yourself for us
You willingly surrendered your life for our benefit
Carried into your freedom
You carried us along into the freedom you secured for us
Our broken past replaced in
Our shattered history was replaced in
A second chance
An opportunity to start afresh
The chains have come undone
The bondages have been shattered
Death defied in the father's love
Death was conquered by the love of the Father
We are,
We exist as
Living to make your name high
Our lives are dedicated to exalting your name
Jesus
The name we lift up
Gave what the world couldn't offer us
You granted us what the world could not give
Say what they want, say what they want
They can say whatever they please
We are free
But we know we are free
The atmosphere is changing,
The environment around us is shifting
Oh can you hear
Do you perceive?
The people rising up
The masses are lifting up
In the hope of your freedom
With the expectation of achieving liberty through you
Our former ways are breaking
Our former habits and lifestyle are crumbling
We seek your face,
We desire to know you more
God let your kingdom come
May your kingdom come into existence
In our praises be lifted up
As we give you adoration, be exalted
With eyes on high we praise you
We lift our gaze to you and worship
And with one voice we come together
We join in unison
Our one desire to praise you
Our sole wish is to adore you
And lift you up in our surrender
And to lift you up in humility
We are
We exist as

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Please Pray for God to meet and save me and my family.
Pray for peace with the Lord and harmony in Him.
Pray that evil spirits do not disturb our family.
I'm korean.
I believe in the Lord who listens to our prayers.
And they said,
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house.
Acts 16 : 31
