Meaning & Inspiration
On My Lips is a joyful praise song about being set free. The first verse says all the chains are broken and every word God has spoken is watching over the singer. The second verse asks how anyone could stay silent after hearing God call by name, and says life in His presence means the singer will never be the same.
The pre-chorus says the singer has been found in Him and will now sing out His truth, and the chorus bursts into a shout of praise, with dancing for all of the singer's days because of the wonder of His loving ways and amazing grace. The themes follow John 8:36 on being set free, Psalm 34:1 on praise always being on the lips, Psalm 30:11 on mourning turned to dancing, and Ephesians 2:8 on grace. The bright, singable chorus gives the song a celebratory tone for a congregation.
