Resurrecting

The song “Resurrecting” by Elevation Worship is a powerful reminder of the victory that Jesus won for us on the cross. The lyrics remind us of the power of Jesus’ resurrection and how it has changed our lives forever. 

The first verse of the song speaks of Jesus’ crown of thorns being replaced with a crown of glory. This is a reference to the Bible verse John 19:5 which says, “Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, Behold the man!” Jesus’ crown of thorns was a symbol of his suffering and death, but it was also a symbol of his victory over death. 

The second verse of the song speaks of Jesus’ robe of majesty, which is a reference to the Bible verse Revelation 19:16 which says, “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” This verse reminds us that Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and that his robe of majesty is a symbol of his power and authority. 

The chorus of the song speaks of Jesus’ name being victory. This is a reference to the Bible verse Philippians 2:9-11 which says, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” This verse reminds us that Jesus’ name is above all other names, and that all of creation will bow down to him in worship. 

The third verse of the song speaks of Jesus’ peace, which is a reference to the Bible verse John 14:27 which says, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” This verse reminds us that Jesus is the source of true peace, and that his peace is not like the peace that the world offers. 

The bridge of the song speaks of Jesus’ spirit rising us from the ashes of defeat. This is a reference to the Bible verse Romans 8:11 which says, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” This verse reminds us that Jesus’ spirit is alive in us, and that it is capable of raising us up from the ashes of defeat. 

The fourth verse of the song speaks of Jesus’ tomb being borrowed for three days. This is a reference to the Bible verse Matthew 27:60 which says, “And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.” This verse reminds us that Jesus’ tomb was only borrowed for three days, and that he rose from the dead on the third day. 

The bridge tag of the song speaks of Jesus’ resurrection. This is a reference to the Bible verse 1 Corinthians 15:20 which says, “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” This verse reminds us that Jesus is the first to be resurrected, and that his resurrection is a sign of hope for all of us. 

The song “Resurrecting” by Elevation Worship is a powerful reminder of the victory that Jesus won for us on the cross. The lyrics remind us of the power of Jesus’ resurrection and how it has changed our lives forever. May we all be reminded of the power of Jesus’ resurrection and the hope that it brings to our lives.
