Encore
James Fortune Fiya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I felt like I couldn't take life anymore
I cannot find my way
Or the strength to fight another day
God I'm losing it
Feels like I cannot last through this
So won't you fix it like you did before
You're the God of the encore
God I can count on you
You're God
Like I did before
You're God
Do it again
This is not the first time that I've been afraid
And I ask myself how did I get back to this place
But I refuse to stay right here and live a life that's full of fear
God I need You now
Only you can bring me out of this
So won't you fix it like you did before
You're God
You're the God of the encore
God I can count on you
You're God
Like I did before
You're God
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Restore me again
Fix it again
Work it out again
Encore
You're the God of the encore
The lyrics of James Fortune Fiya's song "Encore" speak of the struggles and doubts that come with life, and the power of relying on God to help overcome these obstacles. The persona in the song admits to feeling lost and weak, as though they cannot face another day. However, they turn to God for help, remembering how He has helped them in the past. The chorus emphasizes this reliance on God, with the repetition of "You're God / You're the God of the encore / God I can count on you / You're God / Like I did before / You're God / Do it again."
The idea of an encore in music refers to an additional performance given by the artist at the audience's request, after the official performance has ended. In this context, the persona is asking God to provide an "encore" of His previous help, to give them the strength and guidance they need to move forward. The song speaks of continuing to trust in God even in the face of fear and adversity, knowing that He has the power to restore and fix any situation.
Overall, "Encore" is a powerful reminder of the importance of faith and trust in God, and the comfort and strength that can be found in turning to Him in times of need.
