I remember feeling like I'm all alone
Couldn't ever give anybody else control
Heavy burdens always seemed to weigh me down
I called out, "Save me now"
There You were to catch me when I couldn't stand
'Cause I was falling, falling with no way to land
I'm amazed by Your everlasting love
Your strength lifted me up
(Oh my Lord)
You're gonna set me free
(Oh my Lord)
Ain't nothing holding on me
(Oh my Lord)
It's a brand new day
Somebody raise your hands and say
Oh, oh my Lord
Since I met you, I have been forever changed
Let the world around know I don't have to be afraid
You know I'll praise You, every season of my life
My Jesus, I'll testify
(Oh my Lord)
You're gonna set me free
(Oh my Lord)
Ain't nothing holding on me
(Oh my Lord)
It's a brand new day
Somebody raise your hands and say
Oh my Lord
(Oh my Lord)
Oh, oh my Lord
(Oh my Lord)
Oh, oh my Lord
(Oh my Lord)
Oh, oh my Lord
(Oh my Lord)
Saved me, forgave me
And now I believe
I belong to the King of kings
Saved me, forgave me
And now I believe
I belong to the King of kings
Saved me, forgave me
And now I believe
I belong to the King of kings
Saved me, forgave me
And now I believe
I belong to the King of kings
(Oh my Lord)
You're gonna set me free
(Oh my Lord)
Ain't nothing holding on me
(Oh my Lord)
It's a brand new day
Somebody raise your hands and say
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord
(Oh my Lord)
It's a brand new day
Somebody raise your hands and say
Oh my Lord
"Oh, My Lord" by Mandisa is a powerful and uplifting song that reminds us of the strength and love we find in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The lyrics speak directly to the experiences of feeling alone, burdened, and in need of saving, and how Jesus is always there to catch us when we fall and lift us up with His everlasting love.
The song begins with the singer expressing a sense of isolation and helplessness, feeling like she is all alone and unable to find relief from her burdens. This is a relatable experience for many of us, as we often face struggles and trials that seem overwhelming. But in the midst of our darkest moments, we can call out to Jesus and ask Him to save us. He is always there, ready and willing to rescue us from our despair.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the freedom and liberation we find in Christ. The lyrics proclaim, "You're gonna set me free, Ain't nothing holding on me." This echoes the words of Jesus Himself in John 8:36, where He says, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." Through His sacrifice on the cross, Jesus has broken the chains of sin and death, and we are no longer bound by the burdens and struggles of this world. We can find true freedom in Him.
The lyrics also speak of a brand new day, a fresh start that comes with knowing Jesus. This reflects the transformation and renewal that occurs when we surrender our lives to Him. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, it says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" When we have a personal relationship with Jesus, He transforms us from the inside out, giving us a new perspective and purpose in life.
The song encourages us to raise our hands and praise the Lord, to testify to His goodness and faithfulness in our lives. This echoes the words of Psalm 63:4, where David says, "I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands." When we acknowledge and worship God for who He is and what He has done, it brings us joy and strengthens our faith.
"Oh, My Lord" by Mandisa is a powerful reminder of the love and strength we find in Jesus. It encourages us to turn to Him in our times of need, to trust in His saving power, and to live in the freedom and joy that comes from knowing Him. The song is a beautiful expression of faith and a call to worship, reminding us that we belong to the King of kings. So let us raise our hands and praise His holy name!
