Resurrection
Nicol Sponberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sit in silence wondering what led me to this place
How did my heart become so lifeless and cold
Where did the passion go?
When all my efforts seem like chasing wind
I've used up all my strength and there's nothing left to give
I've lost the feeling and I'm numb to the core
Here I am at the end I'm in need of resurrection
Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead
What I've lost to the world what seems far beyond redemption
You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again
You speak and all creation falls to its knees
You raise Your hand and calm the waves of the raging sea
You have a way of turning winter to spring
Make something beautiful out of all this suffering
Here I am once again I'm in need of resurrection
Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead
What I've lost to the world what seems far beyond redemption
You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again
You have a way of turning winter to spring
Make something beautiful out of all this suffering
Here I am at the end I'm in need of resurrection
Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead
What I've lost to the world what seems far beyond redemption
You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again
The lyrics of Nicol Sponberg's "Resurrection" speak to the experience of feeling lost, numb, and disconnected from oneself and the world. The singer reflects on how they arrived at this place, where their heart feels "lifeless and cold," and they no longer feel the passion and strength they once had. Despite their efforts, they can't seem to find a way out of this state, or even to fake it, and they turn to the idea of resurrection. They acknowledge that only a power greater than themselves can bring them back to life, taking their empty shell and raising them from the dead. The lyrics are full of religious imagery, suggesting that the singer is praying to God for salvation, but they are also universal enough to speak to anyone who has experienced despair and wants to find hope and renewal.
The metaphor of resurrection is a powerful one that speaks to many different religious and spiritual traditions. In this song, it represents not just the idea of physical death and rebirth, but also spiritual transformation and renewal. The singer has hit rock bottom and feels lost and alone, but they trust that there is a power greater than themselves that can bring them back to life, and that can make something beautiful out of their suffering. The song ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that there is always the possibility of resurrection, of new life and new beginnings.

"A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench," Oh praise be to God, so loving, merciful, and patient with us! Father turn not your face from us! Keep us under your wings! Lead and guide us with your staff! How many times will we run away, turn aside and chase after vanity? We canst live one moment without thee! To you only will we return time and time again! Speak to us again as in the days of old! When we first knew thee! Renew your work in our hearts!
