Meaning & Inspiration
Tima Alare’s offering, "Highest Praise - We Give You The Highest Praise," released on November 15, 2018, delivers a profound message of worship, anchoring itself in foundational Christian truths. This song is a direct call to exaltation, expressing the very essence of devotion and acknowledging God’s supreme worth through simple yet potent affirmations. Its core meaning lies in recognizing God’s unchanging nature, His role as the steadfast provider of salvation, and His boundless faithfulness, all of which culminate in an outpouring of worship that seeks to offer Him the most excellent honor.
The song immediately establishes its purpose with the repeated declaration, "We give you the Highest Praise Oh God, We Bless your name." This isn't merely a refrain; it's a foundational act of worship. From the very beginning of the Bible in Genesis, through the Psalms, and into the New Testament, believers are consistently called to praise and bless the name of God. Psalm 145:1-2 eloquently states, "I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever." This opening clearly positions the song within the rich biblical tradition of giving glory and honor to the Creator, acknowledging His sovereignty and goodness.
Moving into a deeper theological reflection, the lyrics state, "Christ is our rock Of our salvation / The rock on which we stand / The same yesterday, today and forever / Unchangeable, unmovable." This powerful imagery of Christ as the rock is deeply embedded in Scripture. In 1 Corinthians 10:4, Paul identifies Christ as the spiritual rock that followed the Israelites, providing for them. More profoundly, Matthew 16:18 speaks of the church being built upon this foundational truth of Christ. The attribute "the same yesterday, today and forever" is a direct echo of Hebrews 13:8, which underscores Jesus Christ’s immutable character. This declaration is a source of immense comfort and security, affirming that amidst life's shifting sands, the divine foundation remains firm and unwavering, offering a steadfast hope that never disappoints.
The theme of God’s unwavering nature is beautifully expanded upon with poetic comparisons: "You are like the sun, rises every morning / And like the stars, it never fails." This imagery taps into the consistent order of creation, a constant reminder of divine reliability. Jeremiah 33:20-21 speaks of God’s covenant with day and night, ensuring their unfailing return, symbolizing His covenant with His people. The lyrics continue, "Your faithfulness, is higher than the mountains / Your Grace, it never fails." This elevates God’s attributes beyond human comprehension. Psalm 36:5 proclaims, "Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds," illustrating the immeasurable scope of divine reliability. And the absolute assurance that His grace never fails is a cornerstone of Christian faith, a truth beautifully captured in Lamentations 3:22-23, which reminds us that "The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." This affirms that His unmerited favor is eternally present and sufficient for all needs, a truth that drives genuine worship.
Tima Alare's "Highest Praise" ultimately serves as an anthem of profound gratitude and adoration, compelling individuals to actively engage in praising and blessing God’s name. Its strength lies not in complex arrangements or intricate narratives, but in its directness and robust theological underpinnings. The song creates an atmosphere conducive to humble reverence, reminding us of God’s unchanging character, His sacrificial provision of salvation through Christ, and His boundless, unfailing faithfulness and grace. It is a stirring invitation to remember these fundamental truths and respond with the most sincere and elevated praise one can offer, echoing the eternal chorus of heaven in Revelation 7:12, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen." This song stands as a spiritual anchor, encouraging unwavering devotion and a continual focus on the divine source of all good things.
