Better (feat. Brandon Lake & Tianna) | TRIBL | Maverick City Music
Better Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
The song "Better," featuring Brandon Lake and Tianna, released by Maverick City Music on July 30, 2021, presents a compelling declaration of faith centered on the surpassing worth of knowing God. This track doesn't waste time; it dives straight into a message that resonates deeply with the heart of biblical worship. At its core, "Better" articulates a profound truth found throughout Scripture: that the presence and love of God surpass any earthly possession, experience, or ambition we might pursue. It captures the essence of a soul that has surveyed the landscape of worldly pleasures and achievements and, like the wise man in Ecclesiastes who found much to be chasing after the wind, concludes that everything pales in comparison to the eternal significance found in relationship with the Creator.
The song’s message is a thoughtful echo of numerous passages that elevate God above all else. It brings to mind the cry of the Psalmist in Psalm 73:25, "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you." This isn't just saying God is *good*; it's a radical statement that He is *better* than life itself, as declared in Psalm 63:3: "Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you." The artists involved convey this conviction not just in the words sung but through the palpable sincerity in their delivery, moving from reflective quietness to a soaring anthem of praise. The musical arrangement supports this journey, creating space for contemplation before building to a powerful crescendo that mirrors the overwhelming realization of God's supreme value. It reminds us of Philippians 3:7-8, where the Apostle Paul counts everything else as loss for the sake of knowing Christ Jesus, considering them rubbish in comparison to the surpassing value of this knowledge.
The song's structure and delivery encourage a posture of surrender, inviting us to lay down the things we often elevate – comfort, status, temporary happiness – and embrace the enduring joy found only in God's nearness. It speaks to the promise Jesus made in John 6:35, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst," suggesting that true satisfaction is found in Him alone, making everything else ultimately less fulfilling. "Better" functions as both a personal meditation and a corporate declaration, suitable for individual reflection on God's goodness or for a gathered body proclaiming His supremacy. The artists' voices blend and stand out in turn, each contributing to the layered expression of this central truth. The track serves as a stirring reminder that our hope is not in fleeting earthly treasures, which moth and rust destroy (Matthew 6:19-21), but in the unfading glory of God's presence and His eternal promises. This profound focus on God's incomparable nature makes "Better" more than just a song; it's a theological statement set to music, designed to draw hearts back to the one true source of life and joy, affirming that indeed, He is infinitely and irrevocably better.
