You Are the Girl
The Cards Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wept, for none was worthy to open the scroll
Or to look upon what it contained
Then a voice said, "See the Lion of the Tribe of Judah"
So I looked to the Lion
And saw a Lamb that was slain

You are worthy to take up and open the scroll
For You are the Lamb that was slain
Glory and honor to the One on the throne
To the Lamb Who lives and reigns

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
To receive power, wealth, wisdom, and strength
And honor and glory and praise evermore
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain

From every tribe and language
Every people and nation
Your blood purchased men for God
You won them a kingdom by Your salvation




And made them priests to serve our God
To serve our God

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics are from The Cards' song "You Are The Girl". The lyrics are referring to a scene from the Book of Revelation in the Bible. The singer weeps because no one is worthy enough to open the scroll and look upon its contents. However, the voice of an angel tells him to look to the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. When he looks, he sees a Lamb that was slain, which represents Jesus Christ. The Lamb is worthy to open the scroll because he was sacrificed for the sins of humanity. The chorus repeats that the Lamb is worthy of all glory and honor, and that he reigns over all.


The lyrics also speak of how the Lamb's sacrifice purchased men for God and won them a kingdom. This refers to the idea that through Jesus' death and resurrection, those who believe in him are saved and become part of his kingdom. The final line of the chorus mentions that those who follow Christ become priests to serve God.


Overall, the lyrics to "You Are The Girl" are a powerful representation of the Christian belief in Jesus' sacrifice for humanity and his ultimate triumph over sin and death.

Lyrics :
Why don't you dream anymore?
What's in the way?
How come you point to the door
And ask me to stay?
Why don't you flash out that smile
Like you used to do?
Why don't you stay for a while?
Uh well it's up to you, 'cause

You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel all right
You are the girl
But will you give me a twirl?
You are the girl
In my dreams

Why don't ya talk anymore?
What did I say?
How is it what I came for
Is floating away?
Why don't you flash out that smile
Like you used to do?
Why don't you stay for a while?
Uh well it's up to you, 'cause

You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel all right
You are the girl
(You are the girl)
Will you give me a twirl?
(You are the girl)
(You are the girl)
In my dreams

Why don't you dream anymore?
What's in the way?
How come you point to the door
And ya ask me to stay?
Why don't you flash out that smile
Like you used to do?
Why don't you stay for a while?
Oh 'cause it's up to you, 'cause

You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel all right
You are the girl
(You are the girl)
Oh you give me a twirl
(You are the girl)
(You are the girl)
In my dreams

Well, you are the girl
(You are the girl)
And you give me a twirl
(You are the girl)
(You are the girl)
In my dreams

Oh (you are the girl)
In my dreams
