“This is my story, You are my song”
When we hear “This is my story,” it resonates as a personal testimony; more like an invitation to reflect on what God has done in our lives. The Bible encourages us to tell our story of God’s redemption, just as Psalm 107:2 (NLT) reminds us: “Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out!” The line “You are my song” takes this a step further, illustrating that our praise comes from the core of our experience with God. Just as the Israelites sang after their deliverance in Exodus 15:2, God becomes the very inspiration for our worship, and our lives become a living song of His grace.“All day, all night, I will sing of your faithfulness”
These lines reflect the call to a lifestyle of continuous praise. The Bible talks about this in Psalm 34:1 (NLT), where the psalmist commits, “I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.” By declaring that we will sing of God’s faithfulness “all day, all night,” the song shows how the believer’s life can be filled with an ongoing sense of gratitude and worship, constantly remembering God’s unwavering love. This echoes the sentiment in Lamentations 3:22-23, which reminds us that God’s faithfulness is new every morning.“From my spirit to my soul, until my voice re-echoes”
This part of the song captures the idea that worship engages every part of us; constituting the spirit, soul, and body. Worship, according to Jesus in John 4:24 (NLT), must come “in spirit and truth,” from the deepest parts of who we are. When the song says, “until my voice re-echoes,” it suggests that our worship is not just a fleeting moment, but something that resounds in and through us, much like the never-ending worship described in Revelation 4:8. It’s a call to worship with every fibre of our being, allowing our voices to reflect the praise that already exists in our hearts.“You are worthy of my worship, Worthy of my praise”
Declaring that God is “worthy” connects us to one of the central truths of Scripture: God alone is deserving of all honour, glory, and praise. In Revelation 4:11 (NLT), the elders in heaven cry out; “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honour and power.” This part of the song is a reminder that our worship is a response to God’s worthiness, recognizing Him as the Creator and Sustainer of all things. Repeating these lines highlights the importance of this truth, driving it deeper into the heart of the worshipper.Sign up for the Connect Nigeria daily newsletter
“Hallelujah”
“Hallelujah,” which means “Praise the Lord,” is a universal declaration found throughout the Bible, particularly in the Psalms (like Psalm 150:6, NLT: “Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord!”). By including this word, the song connects the worshipper with the rich history of biblical praise, inviting everyone to join in a chorus that has been sung for generations and will continue for eternity. It’s a simple yet profound way to give God the highest honour.Spiritual Significance
At its core, this song is a reminder that worship is both a personal response to God’s goodness and a continuous expression of praise. It encourages believers to see their lives as a testimony of God’s grace (“this is my story”) and to continually offer worship from their innermost being. The lyrics emphasize that worship is not limited to specific moments but is a way of life; you could say that it is something that flows from a deep recognition of God’s faithfulness, worthiness, and presence in our everyday lives. The repetition of phrases like “worthy of my worship, worthy of my praise” and “Hallelujah” further strengthens the message that God’s worthiness is inexhaustible. It reminds us that praise is not just an obligation but a natural response to encountering the greatness of God, who remains faithful in every season.Register to attend the CN Business Mixer
