Everything Comes Alive

We Are Messengers' “Everything Comes Alive” is a song about a morning and evening routine that has been changed by grace. The first verse begins, “In the morning when my heart is cold, You're the heat for my weary soul.” In the mirror the singer sees “Your grace looking back at me” and says, “I'm not the man that I used to be.” The chorus is a lift of tone: “There's a song rising from my heart, everything comes alive in You.”

The second verse reverses the hour. “In the evening when my bones are tired, You're my strength and my heart's desire, You're the light when the sun expires.” The singer looks at how far he has come and says, “I'm not lost, with You I'm home, I didn't find You on my own.” The bridge looks ahead to the end of his life, saying he has a hope he is sure of, and “I'll be with You in heavenly places.” The last lines compare his pulse to God's love, “my heart is beating to the rhythm of Your love.”

Being made alive together with Christ is Ephesians 2:5-6. Being a new creation is 2 Corinthians 5:17, and a longing for God at dawn is Psalm 63:1.
