Meaning & Inspiration
This worship song centers on praise to Jesus for rescue and resurrection. It opens with "Amazing grace" that "far outweighs my past mistakes," and the next section describes being called by name in the dark and brought back to life. The chorus ties that rescue to the declaration "See the old life has gone and the new has begun," which echoes 2 Corinthians 5:17.
A later section looks ahead to Christ's return with the repeated line "You're coming soon," and the congregation resolves to fix its eyes on Jesus because His promises come true. The song then builds into an extended call to sing out praise, naming time, affection and songs as offerings.
The lines about rising up from the grave resemble the language of Romans 6:4, where Paul links new life with Christ's resurrection. Fixing eyes on Jesus is a phrase found in Hebrews 12:2.
