Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To show the image of your face
But we are, by your design
The signature of divine
We'll always sing your name
Forever and today
Great is your glory when you go before me
Oh, we sing
Holy, Holy
Your ways are lovely So high above me
Yahweh
The fortunes of kings and queens
Are wasted chasing what we've seen
Cause we are, by your reprieve
The beauty framed by your suffering
We'll always sing your name
Forever and today
Yahweh, Yahweh
Great is your glory when you go before me
Oh, we sing
Holy, Holy
Your ways are lovely So high above me
Yahweh
Take me, and pull me through
Cause I can't move without you
I won't leave you alone, you say
It will be okay
Yahweh, Yahweh
Great is your glory when you go before me
Oh, we sing
Holy, Holy
Your ways are lovely So high above me
Yahweh
Yahweh, Yahweh
Great is your glory when you go before me
Oh, we sing
Holy, Holy
Your ways are lovely So high above me
Yahweh
Ancient of Days

The song "Signature of Divine" by NEEDTOBREATHE talks about the power and beauty of God's creation. The song starts by saying that even though cathedrals have tried to capture the image of God's face, the true signature of divinity is in the creation itself, by his own design. The chorus repeats the name of Yahweh, praising his glory and holiness that is so high above us. The second verse talks about how people often waste their lives chasing material possessions, but true beauty can be found in the suffering that God endured. The bridge of the song acknowledges the human need for God's presence and guidance - "take me, and pull me through, I won't leave you alone, you say it will be okay." The song ends with another chorus of Yahweh's name.
The song is a clear and poetic tribute to the beauty and power of the divine. The lyrics show a deep reverence and respect for the natural world, and the idea that God's signature is in everything we see around us. The repetition of Yahweh's name creates a sense of awe and devotion, as if the song itself is a form of prayer. The bridge acknowledges the human weakness and dependence on a higher power, and the need for God's guidance and support.
