There's no limit to your power
There's no stopping what you plan
You give us faith to move the mountains and hope to dream again

We see the fires of revival
The darkness giving way to light
The glory of your grace advancing
Let it burn up the night

Let it burn up the night

Let the walls come down in Jesus name
Let the lost be found in Jesus name
Let the church arise to shine your light to the world
Shine your light

Your house, forever, undivided
All your sons and daughters one
At the cross we are united
Our hope is in the blood
Our hope is in your blood

Let the walls come down in Jesus name
Let the lost be found in Jesus name
Let the church arise to shine your light to the world
Shine your light
Open eyes to see in Jesus name
Let the city sing in Jesus name
Let the church arise to shine your light to the world
Shine your light

Salvations tide is rising
As all your people seek your face
Your life a river flowing
To wash our sin and shame away
Salvations tide is rising
As all your people seek your face

Salvations tide is rising
As all your people seek your face
Your life a river flowing
To wash our sin and shame away
Wash it away

In Jesus name

Overall Meaning

The song "Salvation" by Passion is a prayer for God to bring forth His salvation, to seek the lost, and to heal the sick. The opening lines of the song, "Salvation, spring up from the ground, Lord rend the Heavens and come down, seek the lost and heal the lame, Jesus bring glory to your name" express a deep longing for God to intervene in the world and bring His salvation. The image of salvation springing up from the ground suggests an urgent need for God to act, and the plea for the Lord to rend the heavens and come down emphasizes the desperate need for divine intervention.

The second verse continues the theme of seeking the lost, with the line "let all the prodigals run home". The song recognizes that all of creation is waiting and groaning for God's salvation, and the cry for God to stir up our hearts and open our spirits suggests a deep desire for a personal encounter with God. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the urgency of the prayer, and the final line, "Salvation, spring up from the ground, Lord rend the Heavens and come down" expresses the ultimate longing for God's salvation.

Overall, "Salvation" is a powerful call to God to intervene in the brokenness of the world, to seek out the lost, and to bring healing and salvation to all who need it.
