Respond Official Music Video - Travis Greene ( Feat. Trinity Anderson, D'Nar Young, Taylor Poole)
Respond Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
Travis Greene's song "Respond" presents a powerful lyrical dialogue between the divine and the believer, centering on the theme of availability and willing surrender. Released with an official music video on October 18, 2019, the visual accompaniment features Trinity Anderson, D'Nar Young, and Taylor Poole, enriching the song's expression of communal and individual devotion. The track opens with an acknowledgment of God's omnipresence and exalted position, contrasting this with the notion of God actively searching for a willing heart to respond and a place to reside. The worshipper declares their immediate presence and identity as the one sought by God, setting the stage for a personal commitment.
The core message unfolds as a repeated promise: the worshipper pledges to respond whenever God calls, pulls, or touches. This response is not portrayed as reluctant obligation, but as an eager, unhesitating movement, described vividly as "running to Your arms." The declaration "I'm the one You're looking for" becomes a confident assertion of readiness and a desire to fulfill God's search for connection and dwelling. The song emphasizes that God does not need to beg for this attention; the believer's heart yearns to be where God is, desiring intimacy and participation in the divine presence, symbolized by "accepting this invitation to dance with You."
Further exploring the depth of this relationship, the lyrics touch upon different aspects of God's interaction – calling, pulling, touching, and drawing – each prompting the same eager response. The mention of "Trinity, trinity" towards the end underscores the multifaceted nature of the divine being to whom the believer is responding. The desire to "come running to You" and "come to You" is reiterated, emphasizing the relentless pull towards God's presence, specifically to His arms and right where He is, seeking refuge, relationship, and ultimately, dwelling with the Father.
The song's theme of God seeking a place to abide resonates with scripture such as John 14:23, where Jesus speaks of the Father and Son making their home with those who love Him and obey His teaching. The idea of God searching for responders connects with John 4:23, where Jesus states the Father is seeking true worshippers. The believer's prompt and willing response mirrors the spirit of Isaiah 6:8, "Here am I. Send me." The imagery of running to God's arms reflects the safety and refuge found in God's presence, as depicted in verses like Psalm 91:4, which speaks of finding shelter under His wings, or Hebrews 6:18, which mentions running to God as a refuge. The commitment to respond to God's call aligns with scriptures emphasizing hearing and following the shepherd's voice, such as John 10:27.
