Passion

Hillsong Young & Free's song 'Passion' delves deep into themes of unwavering love, sacrifice, and redemption. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Jesus Christ's journey, from the agony in the grove to the ultimate sacrifice on the cross. The song emphasizes that even in moments of immense suffering and abandonment, Jesus was thinking of humanity, showcasing a profound and selfless love. This is highlighted in lines like 'Through it all, you were thinking of me' and 'Even death couldn't keep all your love for me,' which underscore the belief that Jesus' love transcends even death itself.

The chorus reinforces the idea of an unchanging and eternal love, with phrases like 'Your love will never change, beginning and forever.' This suggests a divine love that is constant and unwavering, providing a sense of comfort and assurance to believers. The repetition of 'I know you love me so' serves as a personal affirmation of this love, making the message both intimate and universal. The song also celebrates the victory of this love, as seen in 'I sing of all your passion won for me,' indicating that Jesus' sacrifice has brought about a profound transformation and redemption for humanity.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a more triumphant tone, celebrating the resurrection and the glory of Jesus. Descriptions like 'You're brighter than the sun, risen from the shadows' and 'Seated on the throne of majesty' elevate the narrative to one of victory and exaltation. This not only reinforces the theme of eternal love but also highlights the divine nature and supreme authority of Jesus. The song concludes with a personal declaration of love and devotion, 'I found you, I love you,' encapsulating the believer's response to the divine love and sacrifice described throughout the song.
