Meaning & Inspiration
The Belonging Co.'s "Break Every Chain," released in 2019 on their album *Awe + Wonder*, is a powerful declaration of faith and liberation. This song isn't just a collection of words; it's an anthem rooted in the profound truth of divine power available to believers. The core message, repeated with unwavering conviction, is the immense strength inherent in the name of Jesus—a strength that possesses the authority to dismantle any bondage. This echoes the Apostle Paul's assertion in Philippians 2:9-11, where it is stated that God has highly exalted Jesus and bestowed upon Him a name above every name, so that at His name every knee should bow. The lyrical repetition of "There is power in the name of Jesus" functions not merely as emphasis, but as a sustained confession of faith, a continuous affirmation of where true authority and freedom reside.
The song masterfully builds upon this foundation with the bridge's evocative imagery: "I hear the chains falling." This is not a passive observation but a testament to an active, spiritual reality. It calls to mind the miraculous accounts in the New Testament where individuals, bound by sin, sickness, or demonic influence, were immediately set free upon encountering Jesus or invoking His name. Consider the account of Peter and Silas, imprisoned and chained, who were miraculously freed through divine intervention after praying and singing praises to God in Acts 16:25-26. The song’s message suggests that this same liberating power is not a relic of the past but a present-day reality for those who turn to Jesus. The repeated tag, "To break every chain," reinforces the comprehensive nature of this freedom. It speaks to every kind of spiritual, emotional, and even physical entanglement that can hold a person captive. In Revelation 1:18, Jesus declares, "I hold the keys of death and Hades," signifying His ultimate dominion over all forms of bondage, including death itself. The song, therefore, serves as a vibrant proclamation of this victory, encouraging listeners to believe in and experience the fullness of the freedom Christ offers, assured that in His name, every barrier can and will be broken.
