Reana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nor of human wisdom
'Cause I don't know much
But I know that He was crucified for me
And I, I'm in weakness, I'm in fear
I was trembling myself, not convincing
But I believe by the power of the Spirit
So do not put your faith in the words of man
But put your faith in the power of God
Do not elevate me, man
I am no more than you, whoa
Do not put me upon this pedestal for I am no more than you
And God forbid that I should boost in anything but the cross
'Cause I was crucified to the world and the world to me
And I, I'm in weakness, I'm in fear
I was trembling myself, not convincing
But I believe by the power of the Spirit
So do not put your faith in the words of man
But put your faith in the power of God
As I cry, do not elevate me, man
I am no more than you, whoa
Do not put me upon your pedestal for I am no more than you
Do not elevate me, man
I am no more than you
Do not put me upon this pedestal for I am no more than you
Do not elevate me, man
I am no more than you
Do not put me upon this pedestal for I am no more than you
The lyrics to Reana's song "Elevate" convey a humble and self-aware message. The singer acknowledges their limitations, admitting that they do not possess eloquence or human wisdom. However, they hold a strong belief in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ for their redemption. Despite their weakness and fear, they find solace in the power of the Spirit, which strengthens their faith.
The song emphasizes the importance of not placing faith in the words or opinions of other people, but instead, placing faith in the power of God. The singer cautions against elevating them above others, emphasizing that they are no different or superior to anyone else. They encourage listeners to remember that boasting in anything other than the cross is futile, as they have been crucified to the world and the world to them.
Overall, "Elevate" serves as a reminder to remain humble, grounded, and reliant on God's power rather than human influence or credentials.

I come, not with excellence of speech
I don't have impressive or eloquent words
Nor of human wisdom
I don't rely on human intelligence or knowledge
'Cause I don't know much
Because I don't have extensive understanding
But I know that He was crucified for me
But I firmly believe that Jesus was crucified for my sake
And I, I'm in weakness, I'm in fear

I was trembling myself, not convincing
I was shaking and lacked confidence
But I believe by the power of the Spirit
But my faith is strong thanks to the Holy Spirit's empowerment
So do not put your faith in the words of man

Lift me up
Hold me down
Keep me close
Safe and sound
Burning in a hopeless dream
Hold me when you go to sleep
Keep me in the warmth of your love
When you depart, keep me safe
Safe and sound
Lift me up
Hold me down
Keep me close
Safe and sound
Drowning in an endless sea
Take some time and stay with me
Keep me in the strength of your arms
Keep me safe
Safe and sound
Lift me up
Hold me down
Keep me safe
Safe and sound
Burning in a hopeless dream
Hold me when you go to sleep
Keep me safe
We need light, we need love
lift me up in your arms
(Hold me down) I need love, I need love, I need love
(Keep me close) hold me, hold me
(Safe and sound) hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
(Lift me up) hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
(Hold me down) hold me, hold me
(Keep me safe) we need light, we need love
