KJ-52 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is hope in the Name that is Jesus
Lay your life down give it all now
We are found in the love of the Savior
We've come alive in You
Set Free to show the truth
Our lives will never be the same
We're giving it all away away
We're giving it all to go your way
We are sold out to Your calling
Everything that we are for your glory
Take our hearts now have it all now
Let our lives shine Your light like the morning
We've come alive in You
Set Free to show the truth
Our lives will never be the same
We're giving it all away away
We're giving it all to go your way
You rolled back the curtains from our eyes
And now we can see You
You've shown us Your way Your truth and life
We offer our lives to bring You fame
We're caught in Your freedom
The lyrics to KJ-52's song "Go" are a powerful call to action for Christians to give their all to follow Jesus and spread his message of love and salvation. The opening lines, "In the father there is Freedom," speak to the idea that true freedom can only be found in a relationship with God. The next line, "There is hope in the Name that is Jesus," emphasizes the importance of faith in Jesus as the source of hope and salvation.
The lyrics then move to a call to action, urging listeners to "Lay your life down give it all now" and become fully dedicated to living for Christ. The chorus emphasizes this idea, with the repeated phrase "We're giving it all away, away" representing the idea of surrendering all of one's possessions, ambitions, and desires to God's plan.
The second verse continues with this theme, stating that Christians are "sold out to Your calling" and exist "for your glory." The lyrics also reference the concept of shining God's light, calling for listeners to "Let our lives shine Your light like the morning."
The final verse references the idea of spiritual awakening, with the lyrics "You rolled back the curtains from our eyes" indicating that through God, we are able to see the truth and purpose of our lives. The final line, "We offer our lives to bring You fame," represents the ultimate goal of the Christian life: to use our actions and words to bring glory to God.
In summary, the lyrics to "Go" represent a powerful call to Christians to fully surrender to God's plan and put his mission at the forefront of their lives.
