Meaning & Inspiration
Gateway Worship's "New Doxology Anthem," released on December 6, 2010, as part of the album *Wake Up the World*, stands as a powerful testament to enduring faith and the fundamental tenets of Christian praise. This song isn't merely a musical composition; it’s a contemporary rearticulation of one of Christianity’s most ancient and profound expressions of worship, the Doxology, "Praise God from Whom all blessings flow." The genesis of this anthem lies in the timeless liturgical tradition, drawing directly from the familiar lines that have echoed through centuries of Christian gatherings, particularly as a final stanza to the hymn "Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow." Gateway Worship’s contribution is to infuse this venerable declaration with a fresh energy, making it accessible and impactful for a modern audience, while remaining deeply rooted in biblical truth.
The message of "New Doxology Anthem" is refreshingly straightforward yet profound, focusing squarely on the triune nature of God and the comprehensive scope of His blessings. The lyrics, intentionally echoing the traditional Doxology, call upon all creation, both earthly and heavenly, to acknowledge and proclaim the might and glory of God. This mirrors the biblical exhortation found in Psalm 148, which commands all of creation – sun, moon, stars, mountains, and seas – to praise the Lord. The song's emphasis on praising "Father, Son and Holy Ghost" directly affirms the doctrine of the Trinity, a cornerstone of Christian theology, underscoring the unified nature of God’s being and His redemptive work. The verses consistently reinforce this, with lines like "Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost" and "Praise God, the Holy Trinity." The chorus, a simple yet potent repetition of "Praise God, praise God, praise God, Who saved my soul," shifts the focus to the personal, salvific act of God, reminding listeners of the immeasurable gift of salvation offered through Jesus Christ. This personal dimension resonates with passages like Ephesians 2:8-9, which states, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." The final verse beautifully encapsulates this personal redemption, with the declaration, "I'll praise the One Who died for me," a direct reference to Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, as described in Romans 5:8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The song's intent is clearly to inspire a deep, unwavering adoration, acknowledging that all blessings originate from God and that His reign is eternal, as echoed in Revelation 11:15, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever." Through its familiar yet revitalized structure, "New Doxology Anthem" serves as an accessible invitation to participate in a worship that is both ancient in its theology and intensely personal in its application, celebrating the unending power and love of God across all time and creation.
