YOU DESERVE IT JJ. HAIRSTON & YOUTHFUL PRAISE By EydelyWorshipLivingGodChannel
Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2016, "You Deserve It" by J.J. Hairston and Youthful Praise is a powerful anthem of praise that resonates deeply with the truth of God's unfailing goodness. The song's core message centers on recognizing and acknowledging the immense blessings and salvation we receive from the Almighty, prompting a response of unreserved adoration. It's not merely a catchy tune, but a profound declaration of what is due to the Creator of all things. The scripture that immediately comes to mind is Revelation 4:11, which states, "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." This verse perfectly encapsulates the song's central tenet: that God's very nature and His creative power obligate Him to receive our highest praise, and conversely, that His perfect actions towards us compel our adoration.
The essence of "You Deserve It" is an invitation to reflect on the abundance of God's grace, a grace that is not earned but freely given. Think of Ephesians 2:8-9: "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." This saving grace, this deliverance from sin and the promise of eternal life, is the ultimate reason why God deserves every ounce of our praise. The song encourages a shift in perspective, moving from our own circumstances to the immutability of God's character and His redemptive work. It’s about understanding that our prosperity, our healing, our peace – in both spiritual and earthly realms – are all extensions of His loving provision. This aligns with James 1:17, which reminds us, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."
Furthermore, the song serves as a vocal expression of gratitude for the sacrifices made, pointing towards the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The redemption purchased through His blood is the most compelling reason for us to declare that He "deserves it." This is echoed in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." When we sing that God deserves it, we are affirming our belief in this profound act of love, recognizing that our very salvation is a testament to His worthiness. "You Deserve It" is more than just a song; it's a theological statement set to music, a call to acknowledge the unparalleled majesty of God and to offer Him the worship that is rightfully His, not because of what we can give, but because of who He is and what He has done.
