"Fragrance" by Phil Thompson is a powerful worship song that speaks to the movement of God's Spirit and the transformation that takes place when we offer our praises to Him. The lyrics are simple yet profound, conveying a sense of faith, hope, and joy.
The song starts by declaring that faith is rising and hope is stirring. It paints a picture of something happening, something moving in the spiritual realm. It speaks of hearts yearning and joy exploding, indicating a deep desire for God's presence and an overwhelming sense of joy that comes from experiencing His goodness.
As the song progresses, it emphasizes the act of offering up our praises as a fragrance to God. This concept is inspired by the biblical imagery of incense and offerings that were pleasing to God in the Old Testament. In Ephesians 5:2, it says, "And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." Our praises and worship are like a sweet fragrance that rises up to God and delights His heart.
The repetition of the phrase "receive our fragrance, our fragrance, our great God" reinforces the idea of presenting our praises to God and inviting Him to receive them. It shows that our worship is not just an outward expression but a heartfelt offering to the Lord. It is an acknowledgment of His greatness and a surrender of ourselves to Him.
The song then takes a turn towards victory and revival. It speaks of chains breaking and the earth shaking, symbolizing the power of God at work in our lives. It proclaims that dry bones are rising up, referring to the story of the dry bones in Ezekiel 37. This passage describes God's ability to bring life to what was once dead and hopeless. It is a reminder that God is victorious and can bring transformation and restoration to any situation.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of confidence and assurance in the power of God. It encourages listeners to believe in the victory that comes through Him and to declare it boldly. It reminds us that we are not defeated but are more than conquerors in Christ.
The song "Fragrance" by Phil Thompson is a powerful anthem of worship that stirs up faith, hope, and joy. It reminds us of the importance of offering our praises to God and inviting Him to receive them as a sweet fragrance. It is a declaration of victory and revival, highlighting God's power to bring life to the dead and restore what was broken. This song serves as a reminder of the greatness of our God and the transformative power of worship.
