1. What message does the song communicate?

Victory Worship receives the eternal God, seeking Him daily during the morning sun.  In their wondering, and after receiving a foretaste of God’s goodness, they surrender to His will, wanting more and more of God.  No external force can separate them from God’s love, whose precious blood washes them clean and undeserved favor surrounds them. They pray that unbelievers will receive Christ.

Score: 10/10

2. How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture?

All of it aligns with God’s inspired Word.

[Verse]

Line 1: That is, the God who exists forever (Deuteronomy 33:27, 1 Chronicles 16:34, Job 36:26, Psalm 48:14, Psalm 90:2-4, Psalm 102:12, Psalm 102:26-27, Proverbs 8:23, Isaiah 40:28, Isaiah 41:4, Habakkuk 1:12, John 17:5, Romans 1:20, 1 Corinthians 2:7, Ephesians 1:4, Hebrews 1:11-12, 1 Peter 1:20, 2 Peter 3:8, Revelation 1:8, Revelation 11:17, and Revelation 22:13).

Line 2: In the morning, Victory Worship daily searches for God (Psalm 5:3, Psalm 57:7-10, Psalm 119:147, and Psalm 143:8).

Lines 3 and 4: Amid consistent wonder (Psalm 33:8-9), Victory Worship praises God with each breath they take (Psalm 63:4).

[Pre-Chorus]

Line 1: Victory Worship yields to God’s will (Psalm 43:5, 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 2: Victory Worship tasted and saw that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8), desiring more and more of Him (Psalm 51:10, Jeremiah 24:7, Ezekiel 11:19, Ezekiel 36:26, Romans 2:29, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 5:17, and 2 Corinthians 7:10).

[Chorus]

Lines 1-4: Romans 8:35-39 provides an exhaustive list of things that can’t separate us from God’s love.  While it’s technically possible that Victory Worship could separate themselves by walking away, this act would show that they were never God’s to begin with (1 John 2:19).

[Bridge]

Line 1: Victory Worship is made clean by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 9:22, 1 Peter 1:2, and 1 Peter 1:18-19), enveloped in God’s grace (2 Corinthians 13:14).

Line 2: Victory Worship desires that all hearts are filled with the Holy Spirit (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).  Also, Jesus’ Parable of the Prodigal Son paints a picture of God, who embraces His wayward children (Luke 15:20).

Lines 3 and 4: Repeats lines 1 and 2.

Score: 10/10

3. How would an outsider interpret the song?

Unbelievers have enough breadcrumbs to reasonably conclude that this song is Christian.  Breadcrumbs include “everlasting Father”, “washed by your blood”, and “grace”.  Victory Worships’ message is clear: They are completely sold out for God, inseparable from His love, desiring that those outside Christianity will embrace Christ.

Score: 10/10

4. What does this song glorify?

It glorifies God that Victory Worship surrenders their desires for God, prays to Him every day, and desires others to receive His salvation.

Score: 10/10

Closing Comments

Victory Worship’s Nothing Can Separate Me is Biblical.  It covers many of the bases, speaking of God’s everlasting love, man’s surrender, God’s inseparable love, and His warm embrace, glorifying God.  Unbelievers shouldn’t have much trouble interpreting it.

While not my favorite song, it is nonetheless appropriate for corporate worship.

Final Score: 10/10
