If you see what I see
That the grave is empty
Then you know what I know
Anything is possible

What I See (feat. Chris Brown) | Elevation Worship
What I See Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
"What I See" is a song by Elevation Worship featuring Chris Brown, released on February 4, 2022. The lyrics begin with a foundational question, "Do you see what I see?", establishing a perspective or shared revelation that the song will explore.
The verses paint vivid imagery of dramatic change and transformation. Phrases like "lightning, I hear thunder" and "something stirring six feet under" suggest powerful forces at work. The recurring line, "Dead things coming back to life again," directly introduces the central theme of resurrection and renewal, leading to the conviction that "there's about to be another resurrection." This theme is reinforced with visuals of "signs and I see wonders" and "bursts of living colour."
The chorus serves as a call to action and a declaration of reality. It urges listeners to "Come alive" and "Wake up, sleeper," signifying a spiritual awakening or coming out of a state of dormancy. This is directly linked to the core Christian belief with the declaration, "He is risen," immediately followed by the personal application, "We are risen with Him," suggesting a shared experience of new life through resurrection.
Subsequent verses build upon this foundation, citing "Hallelujah, it is finished!" and pointing to the "grave, no body in it," explicitly referencing the narrative of Christ's resurrection. The chorus expands on the implications of this event, proclaiming "Paradise / Flung wide open," indicating restored access or a new spiritual reality made possible by the resurrection.
The bridge reiterates the initial question, connecting the ability to "see what I see," specifically "That the grave is empty," with a profound understanding: "Then you know what I know / Anything is possible." This section emphasizes the transformative power of recognizing the reality of the empty tomb as the basis for limitless potential and hope. The song concludes by circling back to the impactful imagery from the verses, underscoring the signs, wonders, and stirring life associated with this resurrection reality.
