Those whose lives are operated by their spiritual beliefs with God being the center probably have experienced a moment where they want to be entangled with the dominion and glory of God.
There are times where you finally get to a point where you can allow God to truly orchestrate your life, regardless of anything else. “Yahweh (Live)” provides the words for people to express their complete and utter submission to the one they serve.
The song delves into the deep desire to be in worship and intimacy with God and acknowledges the all-knowing power he possesses. Lyrics include, “I stand in awe of you. What’s too hard for you? The great I am. I am the offering. A sacrifice of praise. My life I give away God here I am.” The choir admits to being mesmerized by God and reacts accordingly.
As the song continues, they open up to their absolute trust in God, knowing that whatever He decides to do will always be the best decision. “(Our ways are not your ways) Yahweh, Yahweh, reign over, (You can) take over.” The vulnerability that the lines contain can resound with anyone who has experienced the power of God for themselves, and is aware that they no longer want to be the governor of their lives.
Living for God brings amazing results, but it takes intention and focus. Sometimes, that is a struggle. “(With tears on my face) I will wait with my faith. It’s not over. It’s not over.” Confiding in God can bring moments of doubt, but the singer recognizes that the reward is worth persevering through the pain.
The numerous choruses reflect the trust and devotion we can have in God, showing how we can overcome a lack of belief. Knowing who He is allows us to boldly walk in His guidance and embrace His plan for our lives.
This song touches me personally because it gets my focus on Jesus and reminds me to let things go. When I try to do things in my own strength, it advises me to instead rely on my faith.
