UpperRoom Music - You Are The Lord - Spontaneous Lyrics
Lyrics
Every other god is an idol
Who cannot see or cannot hear
But there is one true Living God!
There is one true Living God!
Every other god is an idol
Who cannot see or cannot hear
But there is one true Living God!
There is one true Living God!
His name is Jesus
His name is Jesus
His name is Jesus
Every other god is an idol
Who cannot see or cannot hear
But there is one true Living God!
There is one true Living God!
Every other god is an idol
Who cannot see or cannot hear
But there is one true Living God!
There is one true Living God!
Your name is Jesus
Your name is Jesus
Your name is Jesus
You're burning away all the other names
You're burning away all the other names
You're burning away all the other names
Your name is Jesus
There is only Jesus
There is one true Living God
There is one true Living God
There is one true Living God
Every other god is an idol
Who cannot see or cannot hear
But there is one true Living God!
There is one true Living God!
You are the Lord, You are the Lord
There is no other God
You are the lord forevermore
You shall reign ...

You Are The Lord ( Spontaneous) - UPPERROOM
Meaning & Inspiration
UpperRoom Music released "You Are The Lord - Spontaneous" on October 2, 2019, offering a powerful, unadorned declaration of faith that speaks directly to the supremacy of God. This track, born from a spontaneous moment of worship, captures the raw, unfiltered essence of devotion, making its message feel exceptionally immediate and authentic. The spontaneous nature imbues the song with an earnest urgency, as if the truths expressed are bursting forth from deep conviction rather than carefully crafted lyrics.
The core meaning of the song is an uncompromising assertion of God's unique identity and absolute sovereignty, contrasting Him sharply with anything else claiming divine status. It opens by establishing a fundamental theological distinction: "Every other god is an idol who cannot see or cannot hear." This echoes ancient prophetic challenges to idolatry found throughout Scripture, such as in Psalm 115:4-7, where idols are described as having mouths that cannot speak, eyes that cannot see, and ears that cannot hear. The lyrics then pivot to the glorious truth: "But there is one true Living God!" This statement resonates with Jeremiah 10:10, which proclaims, "But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God and the eternal King." The song makes it unmistakably clear that this living, true God is not a vague concept but a specific Person, immediately declaring, "His name is Jesus." This pivotal revelation firmly anchors the song within Christian theology, asserting Christ's divine nature and exclusive authority, as underscored in John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," and Philippians 2:9-11, which states that God exalted Jesus and gave Him the name above every name, so that every knee should bow.
The intensity builds with the declaration, "You're burning away all the other names." This powerful imagery evokes a sense of divine purification and ultimate triumph, not through destructive wrath against people, but through the sovereign eradication of all false worship and competing allegiances. It speaks to a spiritual cleansing where the glory of God eclipses and invalidates every human-made deity or philosophy. Isaiah 2:18 prophesies, "And the idols he shall utterly abolish," a promise that finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ's supremacy. This burning away signifies the irreversible establishment of Jesus as the sole object of worship and devotion, affirming that "there is only Jesus." This truth calls for exclusive allegiance, challenging any division of our hearts, as Jesus Himself stated in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me," and Acts 4:12, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
The song culminates in an unreserved declaration of God's eternal dominion: "You are the Lord, You are the Lord; There is no other God; You are the Lord forevermore; You shall reign..." This resounding affirmation draws from countless Scriptures celebrating God's kingship and eternal reign. Psalm 97:9 proclaims, "For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods," while Revelation 19:6 anticipates the resounding chorus, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns." The song solidifies this core tenet of faith, asserting that God’s reign is not temporary or contingent, but absolute and unending. Through its simplicity and repetition, "You Are The Lord - Spontaneous" serves as a profound call to worship, encouraging a singular focus on the living God whose name is Jesus, inspiring a confident proclamation of His unmatched power and eternal sovereignty in a world often distracted by lesser things.
