"Remember" by Maverick City Music is a powerful worship song that invites us to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the redemption that comes through His blood. The song beautifully captures the essence of communion and reminds us of the love and grace poured out for us on the cross.
The lyrics of the song paint a vivid picture of the crucifixion, with lines such as "We see You on the cross, and You're beautiful, God. The blood speaks a better word, yeah." This imagery reminds us of the ultimate act of love displayed by Jesus, who willingly gave His life for our salvation. It brings to mind the scene of Jesus hanging on the cross, bearing the weight of our sins and offering Himself as a sacrifice.
The song goes on to describe the elements of communion, representing the body and blood of Jesus. It says, "The bread, Your body, the wine, Your blood, sweet communion." These words draw our attention to the significance of the bread and wine in the sacrament of communion, where we remember and partake in the broken body and shed blood of Jesus.
In the chorus, the lyrics declare, "Oh, we will remember, Jesus, our Savior." This line emphasizes the importance of remembrance in our faith. We are called to remember the sacrifice of Jesus, to never forget the price that was paid for our salvation. It is through this remembrance that we find hope, healing, and restoration.
The song also references the wounds and suffering of Jesus, singing, "The holes in Your hands and the wounds in Your side, thirty-nine lashes brought me back to life." These lyrics point to the physical pain and suffering that Jesus endured on our behalf, reminding us of the extent of His love and the depth of His sacrifice.
Scripture verses that relate to the theme of the song include Isaiah 53:5, which says, "But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed." This verse echoes the lyrics of the song, emphasizing the redemptive power of Jesus' wounds and the healing that comes through His sacrifice.
Another verse that comes to mind is 1 Corinthians 11:24-25, where Paul instructs the Corinthians about the practice of communion. He says, "and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, 'This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.'" These verses highlight the significance of remembering Jesus and His sacrifice through the act of communion.
"Remember" is a powerful song that stirs our hearts to gratitude and worship. It reminds us of the immense love of Jesus and the redemption that is available to us through His blood. As we sing these lyrics and reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus, may we be inspired to live lives that honor and remember Him, always grateful for the salvation we have received.
