All the chains are broken
I have been set free
Every word you've spoken
is watching over me
How can i stay silent
when i hear You call my name
Living in Your presence
I'll never be the same

I've been found in You and
now I'll sing out Your truth

On my lips there's a shout of praise
Now I'm gonna dance for all my days
because I've seen the wonder of Your loving ways
So much joy here in Your embrace

Meaning & Inspiration
New Life Worship’s "On My Lips," released on October 10, 2023, arrives as a vibrant declaration of divine liberation and the overwhelming joy found in God's presence. This song immediately immerses us in a narrative of profound transformation, articulating the journey from spiritual bondage to uninhibited praise. It’s a powerful anthem for anyone who has experienced the breaking of chains and the liberating truth of God's word in their life.
The opening lines vividly portray a dramatic shift, declaring "All the chains are broken, I have been set free." This isn't merely a metaphorical statement but a profound testament to the freedom Christ offers, echoing truths found in Galatians 5:1, where we are reminded that "it is for freedom that Christ has set us free." This liberation is further solidified by the assurance that "Every word you've spoken is watching over me," a beautiful illustration of God's faithful guardianship and the unfailing nature of His promises, much like Psalm 121:7-8 assures us of the Lord's constant watch over our lives. This foundational freedom and security naturally lead to an unavoidable response, articulated in the question, "How can I stay silent when I hear You call my name?" This speaks to the personal, intimate relationship God desires, reminiscent of John 10:3, where Jesus says His sheep hear His voice and He calls them by name. The deep impact of this relationship is underscored by the proclamation, "Living in Your presence, I'll never be the same," a powerful affirmation of the transformative work of the Holy Spirit as described in 2 Corinthians 3:18, where we are progressively transformed into His image by His Spirit. The pre-chorus succinctly summarizes this journey, declaring, "I've been found in You and now I'll sing out Your truth," reflecting the joy of salvation and the natural overflow of sharing that truth, a mandate given to believers to proclaim the good news.
The chorus then explodes with unrestrained exuberance, capturing the essence of a life fundamentally changed by divine encounter. "On my lips there's a shout of praise, Now I'm gonna dance for all my days," is a direct expression of worship that transcends quiet contemplation, moving into an active, physical response to God's goodness. This evokes images of biblical figures like David dancing before the Lord (2 Samuel 6:14) and the psalmist’s call to "praise his name with dancing" (Psalm 149:3). This unreserved joy stems from having "seen the wonder of Your loving ways," acknowledging God’s active, benevolent involvement in human lives, His steadfast love continually demonstrated, as we read in Romans 5:8, "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The chorus continues, "So much joy here in Your embrace makes me wanna sing and celebrate," painting a picture of intimacy and security in God’s presence, where all anxieties are replaced with profound delight, aligning with Psalm 16:11, "in your presence there is fullness of joy." The ultimate reason for this overflowing celebration is having "seen the wonder of amazing grace," a testament to God's unmerited favor and redemptive power, which is the cornerstone of Christian faith as Ephesians 2:8-9 declares, "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." "On My Lips" is not just a song; it’s a living testimony, a fervent prayer, and an invitation to participate in the exuberant freedom that comes from knowing Christ. It encourages every believer to move beyond mere belief into a lifestyle of celebratory worship, grounded in the unshakable truth of God's liberating love and transformative grace, powerfully echoing the call for all to join in this magnificent dance of freedom and praise.
