back to life
Hillsong Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here in my heart You have found Your place
Replacing fear with Your freedom
You lift me up
You lift me up

When all seems lost in my brokenness
I call Your Name and You answer
Held by Your love
Held by Your love

In the night
Through the struggle, through the trial
You have made my burden light
You have brought me back to life again

Your love it wipes every tear away
You calm the storms that surround me
You carry me
You carry me

Your light breaks through in my darkest hour
Your love is strong in my weakness
You are enough
You are enough

You won't let go
So I will follow
All I am
Yours now and forever
You won't let go
So I will follow
With all I am

In the night
Through the struggle, through the trial
You have made my burden light
You have brought me back to life again

You won't let go
So I will follow
All I am
Yours now and forever
You won't let go
So I will follow
With all I am

You won't let go
So I will follow
All I am
Yours now and forever
You won't let go
So I will follow
With all I am

In the night
Through the struggle, through the trial




You have made my burden light
You have brought me back to life again

Overall Meaning

Hillsong Young & Free's song "Back to Life" is a worship song that speaks of the power of God to heal and restore us. The first verse talks about how Jesus has found a place in the singer's heart, where fear used to be. Instead of fear, God has given the singer freedom. The chorus speaks of God's love for us, how He carries us through the struggles and trials of life. The singer knows that God will never let go of them, so they are willing to follow Him forever.


The second verse speaks of the singer's brokenness and how they call out to God in their time of need. God answers and holds the singer with His love. The bridge speaks of how God's love wipes away our tears, calms the storms in our lives, and lifts us up when we are weak. God's love is enough to sustain us even in our darkest hour.


The overall message of the song is that God's love and grace are powerful enough to bring us back to life, no matter what our circumstances may be. The song is a reminder that we are never alone in our struggles and that God is always with us, holding us and carrying us through the tough times.

 Super surprised to see Christians bashing a music group who is so passionate about God. This is the young and free album which is geared toward the YOUTH. If you watch their "Young and Free; Our Story" video you can see the story behind this album. I find it so refreshing that this music is so different from the other millions of basic Christian songs that are out there. God did not call us to all sound the same. It's about using our unique gifts (no matter how different it sounds) to glorify our amazing God. I'm baffled at how critical we Christians can be. Instead of acting in love, we're just tearing them down. But overall I love this song and the whole album! If this is not your style, go find an old Christian hymn. Remember this is 2013, and I like that hillsong is actually attempting to reach the youth of this day and age. I'm 19 so its so refreshing finding this type of music. it's so amazing that no matter how different our styles are, in the end it all points to Jesus. He made us all different for a reason.

I've been reading all the comments that criticizes this whole idea of the music and the music video. Sure, I totally get where all you Christian folks that are more traditional are coming from... It's not easy to get used to this kind of music in terms of worship. I came from a traditional Christian background - no drums, and no electric guitar. Just choir and piano. The thing is... You can't put Christianity in a box (more so, Jesus). There is a verse in the bible that says, "generation after generation will be in awe of Your works." I forgot where that is from, but to me it basically means that PEOPLE are gonna be constantly changing, but GOD does not. He is the same forever and always. Guys, we cant be critical at everything. Who are we to say that this is not of God. There are definitely more ways to connect with people who are lost instead of just handing out tracts, right? God Bless, to anyone who got my point and are still reading this.

@Toquenitup

You are so dead on...the scriptures say sing a new song to the Lord, not because he gets bored, but because we get bored and just start going through the motions and not really press into the Lord and worship him with full out abandon!

@anthonyeatguitar

***** yep, religion and relationship, two completely different things :) love God and love others!
