The Song Is Alive
Point of Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you hear the song moving on the wind
Calling us home, drawing us in
It's a wave of love that's melting all resistance
Can you feel it, when it starts
It's within the reach of our hearts
It'll change the world around us if we listen
It's the living, breathing message
Of the mercy of our god

(chorus)
The song is alive
Stirring hope in the soul, don't you know
It's the heartbeat of life
Moving us with a love
That's never ever ever gonna die
The song is alive

It's pushing down walls, driving out doubt
No power on earth's gonna drown it out
And in the middle of the night his voice will lead us
And the music plays on
When we start to sing the song
No nothing's gonna stop the faithful love of jesus
It's the living, breathing message
Of the mercy of our god

(repeat chorus)

Welling up in us, a love beyond compare
Spilling from the lips of the believers everywhere

Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
The song is alive
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know

(repeat chorus)





It's pushing down walls, it's driving out doubt
Don't you know

It’s so interesting hearing this at 25 years old vs. like 8 years old- I loved the song but the message of the song actually hits my heart now. I look back and see what He was doing and He was moving in me whether I saw it or not. He’s so faithful ♥️

"The Song is Alive." Does anything else need to be said? From one who was as low as you can get to become one who has hope and salvation,I am proud to be be a so called "Jesus Freak". Mark me down as one....and may God bless you all.

This was my jam back in late 1998 and early 1999. When I bought my first car back i January 1999 (1987 Nissan Maxima with Sunroof), I'd cruise the interstate joyriding with the song playing in the background.
