Around the Savior's throne;
They bow with rev'rence at His feet,
And make His glories known.
Those happy spirits sing His praise,

But I can sing redeeming grace,
The lyrics of "Alabama" by Word of Mouth Chorus are spiritual and inspiring, focusing on the praise of God and the redemption offered through His son, Jesus Christ. The first stanza speaks of the angels who surround God's throne in heaven, praising Him, and revealing His power and majesty. It is said that these angels humble themselves before God, recognizing His infinite worth and glory.
In contrast to the angels, the second stanza focuses on humanity and our individual experiences of redemption. The line "Those happy spirits sing His praise, to all eternity," speaks of the angels' everlasting understanding of God's grace. However, the following line, "But I can sing redeeming grace, for Jesus died for me," acknowledges that only through human redemption, made possible by Christ's sacrifice, can we truly understand God's divine mercy.
Overall, "Alabama" celebrates the transcendence of God's love beyond the boundaries of time and space, from the angelic realm to the human heart. It offers profound insight into the nature of salvation and its power to unite all people, regardless of their background or station in life.
