Spoken
William McDowell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is a sound rising up
From the heart of His people
A prideful, a move of God
The earth has been waiting for manifestations
Revealing the sons of God
Now is the time for His people
To rise and declare every chain has been broken
(Chorus: x2)
Nothing happens until something is spoken
Speak a word, every chain will be broken
(Verse)
(Chorus)
(Bridge:)
The things bound on earth
Are bound in the heavens
Everything loosed on earth
Is loosed in the heavens
But we open our mouths
And we speak what He says
Things will change... they must change!
So we declare...
(x3:)
Freedom (freedom)
Salvation (salvation)
Healing (healing)
Deliverance (deliverance)
To every nation and all of creation
(Ending: x3)
To every nation and all of creation
In William McDowell's song "Spoken," the lyrics emphasize the power of words spoken by believers in Christ. The verse starts by describing a sound coming from the heart of God's people, an intense movement of God that the earth has been waiting for to reveal His children. The song emphasizes that "now is the time" for God's people to rise and declare that every chain has been broken and salvation is here. This is a call to action for believers to speak up and declare the freedom and healing that comes through Christ.
The chorus is repeated twice and highlights the main message of the song: "Nothing happens until something is spoken." McDowell is reminding listeners that it is not enough to hold beliefs in the heart, but that words have power and to release chains, a declaration is necessary. The song then returns to the verse, emphasizing the message through repetition.
The bridge sets up the power dynamic between the earthly realm and the heavenly realm. The things that are bound on earth are bound in the heavens, and what is loosed on earth is loosed in the heavens. However, through the power of Christ, believers can open their mouths and speak the truth of what God says. This bridge serves as a reminder that believers have some control over their own destiny and the destiny of the universe through their declarations of truth.
