Now’s the time for all the world
To know Your name
Now’s the time for every heart
To sing Your praise
No more silence in the church
No more standing on the side
By Your spirit we’re empowered
Let the darkness run and hide
Yeah-eh-eh!
Now Your church is rising up
And Your children singing out
With Your praise our hearts erupt
And a song of love resounds
Be exalted God of all
In the heavens and the earth
By Your grace we are redeemed
Love has overcome!
Everyday let us proclaim Your truth in love
In Your name we ask and pray
Your kingdom come
Wake us up so we can see
We’ve been sleeping long enough
Time to demonstrate Your power
We are called to overcome
Yeah-eh-eh
Overcome
Love has overcome
For everyone
Love has overcome
Song Meaning
“Love Has Overcome” calls the church to stop standing aside and proclaim God’s name in love. It celebrates redemption by grace and asks for the Spirit’s power as the community lives its faith publicly.
Biblical Message
Acts 1:8 connects the Spirit’s power with witness. Ephesians 2:8 describes salvation by grace, and Matthew 6:10 gives language for praying for God’s kingdom. The song joins these themes in a communal call.
Reflection
Praise is meant to shape more than a gathered song. The lyric asks how a church can speak truth in love and make its hope visible.
