Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Finding I couldn’t fix what was broken
Christ came down and love stepped in
All my sin on Him was laid
Every thought every word that I’ve spoken
All our shame left in the grave
Lift Him up, lift Him high
Raise a shout for our God is alive
Let this song be our victory cry
He has overcome the grave
There is freedom from our shame
Lift Him up, lift Him high
He is alive!
He is alive!
Not by works but by Your grace
All Your goodness and mercy now follow
All of this a gift of faith
The Spirit changing lies for truth
Bringing joy where once there was sorrow
Christ in me is breaking through
Lift Him up, lift Him high
Raise a shout for our God is alive
Lift Him up, lift Him high
Let this song be our victory cry
He has overcome the grave
There is freedom from our shame
Lift Him up, lift Him high
He is alive!
He is alive!
Sin had no hold on You
Death could not contain You
Christ our Lord has overcome
Sin has no hold on me
Death cannot contain me
Christ in us has overcome
Sin had no hold on You
Death could not contain You
Christ our Lord has overcome
Sin has no hold on me
Death cannot contain me
Christ in us has overcome
Lift Him up, lift Him high
Raise a shout for our God is alive
Lift Him up, lift Him high
Let this song be our victory cry
Lift Him up, lift Him high
Raise a shout for our God is alive
Lift Him up, lift Him high
Let this song be our victory cry
He has overcome the grave
There is freedom from our shame
Lift Him up, lift Him high
He is alive!
He is alive!
He is alive!
He is alive!
The song "He Is" by Rend Collective tells the story of a person who was lost and broken, searching for answers. Despite their efforts, they couldn't fix what was broken. Then, Christ came into their life as love stepped in. All their sins were laid on Him, every thought, every word that they had spoken. All their shame was left in the grave. The lyrics emphasize lifting up Christ, raising a shout for He is alive, and that He has overcome the grave. The song further stresses that Christ broke through and that sin had no hold on Him. The chorus of the song is a declaration of victory, with the plea to raise a shout for God is alive, for He is alive.
The song has a powerful message that Jesus conquered death and sin. It reminds believers that Jesus is the only way for salvation, and our victory comes from Him. There is no need to carry the burden of sin and shame because Christ has paid for it all. The lyrics are uplifting and bring hope to those who feel broken and lost. The song speaks about how Christ has changed a person's life, and the Holy Spirit is continually transforming a person to bring joy where there was once sorrow.
