Houghton and Zschech will tell others about how God changed them, fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). NOTE: These next four lines begin during Chorus’ second iteration. Also, He lives within Houghton and Zschech (Galatians 2:20). There is no other name other than Jesus by which this transformation is possible (Acts 4:12). The same power that rose Jesus from the dead (Matthew 28:1-20, Mark 16:1-20, Luke 24:1-12, John 20:1-29, Acts 1:3, Acts 3:15, Acts 4:33, and 1 Corinthians 15:3-8) will raise Houghton and Zschech out of our spiritual deadness into His freedom (Romans 6:1-11, Romans 7:4-6, Galatians 2:19-20, 2 Timothy 2:11, and 1 Peter 2:24). Jesus’ sacrifice does not cover our shame, but removes it completely (John 1:29 and 1 John 3:5). This is confirmed in Hebrews 10:4, which teaches us that sins were not removed by animal sacrifices. According to Leviticus 4:20, the Hebrew word for “atonement” is transliterated as “kaphar”, which means “to cover over”. Under the Old Testament, sins were covered through animal sacrifice. This is so because Jesus is omnipresent (1 Kings 8:27, Psalm 139:7-12, Proverbs 15:3, Jeremiah 23:23-24, Colossians 1:17, and Hebrews 4:13).Ĭhrist asks us to cast our burdens onto Him (Matthew 11:28-30).
The second is not addressed in the lyrics However, Christians will understand that Jesus overcame death (Isaiah 25:8, Hosea 13:14, Luke 20:35-36, 1 Corinthians 15:24-26, 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, 2 Timothy 1:10, and Hebrews 2:14), connecting this to Chorus, line 2. What is God fighting and what has God overcome? The first question is addressed in Bridge. Houghton and Zschech are incorrect when they say Jesus’ sacrifice cover over shame. Most of it aligns with God’s inspired Word. How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture? According to Scripture, it is animal sacrifices that cover sin and Christ’s that remove transgressions.Īlthough Houghton and Zschech do not explain what Jesus overcame, many Christ-followers will put the pieces together to ascertain He overcame death and that “darkness” is lawbreaking. Houghton and Zschech err when they state Jesus’ sacrifice covers over sin. He also carries our load, grants us resurrection power, gives us an unshakable Kingdom, and heals us spiritually. What message does the song communicate?Ĭhrist fights and defeats the darkness within us.
