The Zoe Group Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Live in our hearts, fill this body
Stir our spirits, help us serve
Walk with our feet to the hurting
Let us be You, revive your church
Let us be You on this earth
Let us be You when a wounded soul cries out for hope
Just as your stars pierce through the night
Let us forever shine Your light
Let us be You, Let us be You on this earth
V2
Reach with our hands, touch this city
Lord, let our mouths speak Your truth
Use our blessings to bring justice
Let us be You, revive your church
Let us be You on this earth
Let us be You on this earth

They ask to be like Jesus when someone is crying out for hope or is feeling lonely and needs to know they are not alone. They want to shine like stars through the night, forever sharing His light, and to use their blessings to bring justice to the world.
The overall theme of this song is a call to action for Christians to be more like Jesus in their daily lives.
