"Make It Right" by Maverick City Music is a powerful song that carries a message of hope, redemption, and restoration. The song resonates with many people because it speaks to the human experience of making mistakes, falling short, and longing for a second chance.
The lyrics of the song remind us of the truth found in Scripture. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." We are all imperfect and have made mistakes in our lives. But the beauty of the gospel is that God offers forgiveness and the opportunity to start anew. As the song says, "You can take what's wrong and You can make it right." God has the power to redeem our brokenness and turn our lives around.
One of the key themes in the song is the need for God to open our eyes. The lyrics plead, "I'm praying that You open our eyes again." This speaks to the idea that sometimes we can become blind to our own faults and the ways in which we have strayed from God's path. We need God's revelation and conviction to see our need for repentance and restoration.
The song also emphasizes the love and correction of God. It acknowledges that God's correction is not meant to condemn or punish us, but rather to guide us back to righteousness. Hebrews 12:6 says, "For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives." God's discipline is an act of love, designed to bring us back into alignment with His perfect will.
Another Scripture that comes to mind when listening to this song is Psalm 51:10, which says, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." This verse echoes the sentiment of the song, as it expresses the desire for God to take our wrongs and make them right. It is a plea for God to transform us from the inside out, making us new and restoring us to a right relationship with Him.
The story behind the song is also worth mentioning. The collaboration between Maverick City Music, Dante Bowe, Todd Dulaney, and Jekalyn Carr brings together a diverse group of talented artists who are united in their passion for worship and spreading the message of God's grace. Their voices blend together beautifully, creating a powerful and heartfelt rendition of the song.
Overall, "Make It Right" is a song that speaks to the universal human experience of needing redemption and restoration. It reminds us that no matter how far we may have fallen, God is able to take our brokenness and make it right. It is a song of hope and encouragement, reminding us that God's love and grace are greater than our mistakes. We can find comfort and assurance in knowing that God is in the business of making things right and bringing restoration to our lives.
