YOU ARE JEHOVAH Lyrics video by Elijah Oyelade
Meaning & Inspiration
Elijah Oyelade’s "You are Jehovah," released on July 19, 2019, as a powerful track from his album *The Lord of All*, stands as a monumental declaration of God's supreme power and unchanging nature. This song, immediately upon its release, established itself not merely as a musical composition but as a profound theological statement, inviting every listener into an experience of deep reverence and awe for the Almighty. It serves as an anthem, meticulously crafted to elevate understanding and appreciation for the various facets of God's character as revealed throughout Scripture, making it a cornerstone for those seeking to vocalize their faith in the face of life's complexities.
The very title, "You are Jehovah," anchors the song in the foundational truth of God's self-existence and covenant faithfulness, echoing Exodus 3:14 where God reveals Himself as "I AM THAT I AM." This divine name is intrinsically linked with His promises and His unwavering presence through all generations. The repetition of "Mighty God, Elohim" and "Mighty Man of War" further unpacks this grandeur. "Elohim," found in the very first verse of Genesis, points to God as the sovereign Creator, the powerful One responsible for all existence. To call Him the "Mighty Man of War," as seen in Exodus 15:3 and Psalm 24:8, acknowledges His invincible strength and His role as the ultimate defender and deliverer, one who fights on behalf of His people, securing victory against every foe and circumstance.
The narrative of God's liberating power pulsates through lines affirming that He has "Broken every Chain," "Opened the Prison Doors," and "set the Captives Free." This echoes prophetic declarations from Isaiah 61:1, proclaiming liberty to captives and opening the prison to those who are bound, a mission Jesus Himself referenced in Luke 4:18. It speaks not only to physical liberation but, more profoundly, to spiritual freedom from the bondage of sin, despair, and every form of oppression that holds humanity captive. This aspect of the song serves as a powerful reminder that God's intervention transcends human limitations, providing freedom where none seems possible. His ability to "do what no Man can Do" further solidifies His divine uniqueness and omnipotence, assuring us that His power is absolute and unrivaled.
The song continues to build on these magnificent attributes, recognizing God as the "God of the Universe," "Master Strategist," and "Controller General," titles that underscore His sovereignty over all creation and all events. This aligns with Nehemiah 9:6, which declares Him as the one who made the heavens and the earth, and with Isaiah 46:10, where God states His ability to declare the end from the beginning, showcasing His unparalleled wisdom and intricate planning. He is "the Lord of Host," a title signifying His command over heavenly armies and all forces, as referenced in Isaiah 6:3 and Malachi 3:17, indicating His supreme authority. Furthermore, describing Him as "Great Deliverer" and "Consuming Fire" reveals His dual nature—His steadfast rescue (Psalm 18:2) and His unblemished holiness and purifying power (Deuteronomy 4:24, Hebrews 12:29), which refines His people even as it judges evil.
The worship deepens with the recognition of God as "the Ancient One," a reference from Daniel 7:9 highlighting His eternal, timeless nature, existing before all creation. He is also the "Great Defender," a refuge and strength for His people, as Psalm 59:1 and Romans 8:31 powerfully declare, leaving no room for doubt about His unwavering support. The poignant mention of the "Fourth Man in the Fire" draws directly from the biblical account in Daniel 3:25, where God Himself appeared in the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. This imagery powerfully conveys God's intimate presence and protection in the midst of extreme trials and persecution, assuring believers that they are never alone, even in their darkest hours. Each descriptor serves to paint a comprehensive portrait of a God who is both transcendent and intimately involved in the lives of His creation.
Ultimately, "You are Jehovah" transcends mere theological exposition; it is a profound call to worship. The repeated declarations of "We lift you High," "We Glorify your Name," and "We Worship You" are not just lyrics but an invitation to active adoration. This collective exaltation, particularly with the inclusion of "Jesus, we Worship You," brings the Christian understanding of God into sharp focus, recognizing the divine nature of Christ as an integral part of this worship. The song culminates in a full-hearted surrender and glorification of God, encouraging every individual to participate in acknowledging His matchless power and unwavering faithfulness. It stands as a timeless reminder that regardless of the circumstances, God remains Jehovah, the Mighty Man of War, eternally worthy of all praise and adoration, inspiring a renewed confidence in His boundless ability to save, deliver, and sustain.
