1. What message does the song communicate?
This song is about man’s surrender to God’s will. We wait upon the Lord, waiting for Him to direct us through the Holy Spirit within our hearts. This process changes us forever, as God gives us more than we could ask.
Score: 10/10
2. How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture?
This song aligns with Scripture.
This song does not contain a Verse/Chorus/Bridge structure. Therefore, I assigned stanzas to each paragraph.
[Stanza 1]
Lines 1-6: This describes surrender to God’s will (Isaiah 64:8, Matthew 10:38, Matthew 11:28-30, Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34-38, Mark 10:28, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27, John 15:1-11, Romans 6:13, Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 2:20, Philippians 2:5-8, Hebrews 11:6, James 4:7-10, and 1 Peter 5:6).
Line 7: As directed in Psalm 25:5, Psalm 27:14, Psalm 37:9, Psalm 62:5, Psalm 69:3, Psalm 123:2, Isaiah 8:17, Isaiah 40:31, and Jeremiah 14:22, we patiently wait for God.
Line 8: Repeats line 7.
[Stanza 2]
Lines 1-4: See commentary on Stanza 1.
[Stanza 3]
Repeats Stanza 2.
[Stanza 4]
Line 1: All Nations Worship fixes their eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2).
Line 2: See Stanza 1.
Line 3: Essentially repeats Stanza 1, line 3.
Lines 4 and 5: When the Holy Spirit lives in us (Acts 6:5, Romans 8:9-11, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:16-19, Galatians 4:6, Ephesians 5:18, and 2 Timothy 1:14), we’re different people (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Lines 6-9: Repeats lines 3-5.
Lines 10 and 11: Repeats Stanza 1, line 7.
[Stanza 5]
Repeats Stanza 2.
[Stanza 6]
Repeats Stanza 2.
[Stanza 7]
Lines 1-3: Quotes part of Ephesians 3:20, a nod to God’s abundance that brings Him glory.
Lines 4-6: Repeats lines 1-3.
[Stanza 8]
Repeats Stanza 2 twice.
Score: 10/10
3. How would an outsider interpret the song?
All Nations Worship calls unbelievers to submit to God. This underlying message is hammered over and over again, using simple language that is easily understood by those with next to no knowledge of Christianity. The phrase “wait upon the Lord” appears often and points outsiders to Christianity.
Score: 10/10
4. What does this song glorify?
This song glorifies God by calling us to yield our lives to God’s will.
Score: 10/10
Closing Comments
All Nations Worship Assembly Atlanta’s Come and Move is a great song. It calls us to lay down our lives for God, forsaking rebellion for God’s directive. This glorifies God. Unbelievers should have little to no trouble interpreting this song.
I highly recommend it for corporate worship.
Final Score: 10/10
