This Is Our God - Hillsong Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
"This Is Our God," released in 2008 as part of the album of the same name by Hillsong Worship, stands as a powerful declaration of faith, anchored firmly in the transformative power of God's grace and redemptive work. The song's core message is a profound acknowledgment of God's sufficiency and presence in the lives of believers, echoing the psalmist's cry in Psalm 27:4, "One thing I ask from the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life." The lyrics convey a deep personal surrender, a willingness to fall at God's feet and worship, recognizing that His grace is not merely adequate but abundant, "more than I need," as stated in the first verse. This sentiment aligns with Paul’s declaration in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness," underscoring a reliance on divine strength over human capacity.
The song further explores the experience of divine presence, with Jesus identified as the one who "light[s] the way" and whose Spirit brings restoration, redemption, and freedom. This imagery is deeply rooted in biblical narratives, such as John 8:12 where Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." The proclamation of being "restored" and "redeemed" directly references the salvific work of Christ, as described in Ephesians 1:7: "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace." The repeated emphasis on the Spirit's role in making one "new" and setting one "free" calls to mind passages like Titus 3:5, which speaks of God saving us "not because of righteous things that we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit."
The bridge powerfully encapsulates the central tenet of Christian belief: the sacrificial love of God demonstrated through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. The lines "Freely You gave it all for us, surrendered Your life upon that cross" are a direct testament to the atonement, the ultimate act of love described in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." The declaration that "Great is the love, poured out for all" and the exclamations "This is our God" serve as affirmations of God's boundless love and His supreme identity as both servant and king, who "rescued the world." This multifaceted portrayal of God reflects the prophecies and the New Testament accounts of Jesus' dual nature and His victory over sin and death, as seen in Philippians 2:6-8, which describes Christ Jesus, "who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!" The song’s progression from personal surrender to a communal declaration of God’s majesty and redemptive power offers an inspiring and enduring message of hope and devotion for those who place their faith in Him.
