Bethel Music - Back To Life Lyrics
Lyrics
No longer I who live, but Christ in me
For I've been born again, my heart is free
The hope of Heaven before me, the grave behind
Hallelujah, You brought me back to life
I won't forget the moment
I heard You call my name
Out of the grip of darkness
Into the light of grace
Just like Lazarus
Oh, You brought me back to life
And where there was dead religion
Now there is living faith
All of my hope and freedom
Are found in Jesus' name
Just like Lazarus
Oh, You brought me back to life
No longer I who live, but Christ in me
For I've been born again, my heart is free
The hope of Heaven before me, the grave behind
Hallelujah, You brought me back to life
When something says I am guilty
I'll point to the price You paid
When something says I'm not worthy
I'll point to that empty grave
Just like Lazarus
Oh, You brought me back to life
No longer I who live, but Christ in me
For I've been born again, my heart is free
The hope of Heaven before me, the grave behind
Hallelujah, You brought me back to life
How can I begin to thank You
For all that You've done for me?
Jesus, to fully praise You
It will take all eternity
Just like Lazarus
Oh, You brought me back to life
Oh, You brought me back to life
Oh, You brought me back to life, yeah
Oh, You brought me back to life
No longer I who live, but Christ in me
For I've been born again, my heart is free
The hope of Heaven before me, the grave behind
Hallelujah, You brought me back to life
No longer I who live, but Christ in me
For I've been born again, my heart is free
The hope of Heaven before me, the grave behind
Hallelujah, You brought me back to life
Oh, You brought me back to life
Hey
And the enemy thought he had me
But Jesus said, "You are mine"
Oh, the enemy thought he had me
But Jesus said, "You are mine"
The enemy thought he had me
But Jesus said, "You are mine"
The enemy thought he had me
(But Jesus said, "You are mine") Oh yes, He did
The enemy thought he had me
(But Jesus said, "You are mine") Jesus said, "You are mine"
The enemy thought he had me
But Jesus said, "You are mine"
The enemy thought he had me
(But Jesus said, "You are mine")
(The enemy thought he had me)
(But Jesus said, "You are mine") Oh, come on
The enemy thought he had me
But Jesus said, "You are mine"
(The enemy thought he had me)
But Jesus said ("You are mine")
No longer I who live, but Christ in me
For I've been born again, my heart is free
The hope of Heaven before me, the grave behind
Hallelujah, You brought me back to life

Back To Life - Zahriya Zachary
Meaning & Inspiration
Bethel Music's release of "Back To Life," featuring Zahriya Zachary, arrived on October 5, 2021, offering a powerful anthem of spiritual rebirth and redemption. At its core, the song delves into the profound transformation that occurs when an individual surrenders their life to Christ, echoing the profound declaration found in Galatians 2:20: "No longer I who live, but Christ in me." This central theme is beautifully illustrated through the narrative of a journey from spiritual deadness to vibrant faith, a transformation intimately relatable to anyone who has experienced the saving grace of God. The lyrics powerfully evoke the biblical account of Lazarus, brought back from the tomb by Jesus' divine power, serving as a potent metaphor for the believer's own resurrection from sin and despair into new life. This imagery resonates deeply with passages like John 11:43, where Jesus calls Lazarus forth, signifying His authority over death itself. The song doesn't shy away from acknowledging the struggles of guilt and unworthiness, but rather reframes these challenges by pointing to the ultimate sacrifice and empty tomb of Jesus. This directly aligns with the assurance found in Romans 8:1, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus," and the victory over death demonstrated in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, where the sting of death is swallowed up by Christ's triumph. The recurring phrase "You brought me back to life" is not merely a lyrical hook but a declaration of divine intervention, a testament to God's active pursuit of His creation and His power to restore what was lost. The struggle against the "enemy" and the repeated assertion that "Jesus said, 'You are mine'" speaks to the ongoing spiritual warfare and the undeniable claim Christ has on the redeemed soul, underscoring the security found in His ownership, as described in Ephesians 1:13-14, where believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit as an inheritance. The song’s message is an inspiring reminder that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work within those who believe, offering a complete and eternal freedom from darkness and a future filled with the hope of heaven.
