Meaning & Inspiration
Victoria Orenze’s rendition of "Be Lifted (Cover)," released on January 2, 2021, is a powerful declaration of divine sovereignty and a profound invitation to worship. This song, at its core, is a direct echo of the scriptural truth found throughout the Old and New Testaments regarding the incomparable majesty of God. The repeated central refrain, “Oh Be lifted above all other gods, We lay our crowns and we worship you,” isn't merely a lyrical phrase but a theological statement. It asserts God's supreme position, recognizing Him as far above any idol, any earthly power, or any created thing that might vie for ultimate allegiance. This resonates deeply with passages like Psalm 96:4, which states, "For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens." The act of “laying our crowns” is a symbolic gesture of surrender, acknowledging that any authority or honor we possess is ultimately derived from Him and should be returned to Him in humble adoration. This echoes the visions in Revelation where the elders cast their crowns before the throne, crying, "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created" (Revelation 4:10-11). The song’s structure, with its insistent repetition, builds a powerful momentum, driving home the singular focus of true worship: the glorious God whose Name is worthy of all praise. This call to elevate Him above all others and offer Him our highest honor aligns with Jesus’ teaching in the Great Commandment: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). Orenze’s delivery amplifies this message, drawing the listener into a space of reflective and passionate worship, urging a recognition of God’s unparalleled greatness and the responsive action of offering Him our ultimate devotion, just as all creation and redeemed humanity will ultimately do.
