Song Meaning of “Jesus Saves” by Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team
Verse 1:
“Oh Jesus Saves, hallelujah
A great message of grace,
Forgiveness for the whole human race
Come all the world, lift up your voice,
Sing praises to His holy name,
Listen for the sound of redemption today”
This first verse speaks of Jesus’ act of salvation and how it extends to everyone. Through Jesus’ grace and forgiveness, everyone can be saved, no matter who they are. Jesus offers redemption to everybody, and calls out for them to come and sing praises to His name.
Chorus:
“Oh Jesus Saves, hallelujah
For we shall rise to everlasting life
He has given us hope, salvation and peace
Oh Jesus Saves, hallelujah”
The chorus reiterates the same idea of Jesus offering salvation to all. Through Him, we gain hope, salvation, and peace and we will be rewarded with everlasting life.
Verse 2:
“Look for the day of Jesus’ return
When all our lives will be made new
The Father in His infinite love
Makes heaven for me and for you
Tho’ you may never understand all we have to gain
The name of Jesus is the answer to our pain”
The second verse speaks of the second coming of Jesus, when all our lives will be made anew. God loves us so much that He created a wonderful place for us – heaven. We may never know how much we have to gain by believing in Jesus, but the only answer to our pain is in believing in His name.
Outro:
“Oh Jesus saves, hallelujah
For He’s the source of mercy and grace
The way to eternal life and peace
Oh Jesus Saves, hallelujah”
The outro reinforces the same message of Jesus saving us all and showing us mercy and grace. He is the way to eternal life and peace, and so we should all sing praises to His name.
