Rule

Passion's song "Rule" is a powerful anthem that celebrates the triumph of grace, love, and freedom over death and fear. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world transformed by divine love, where hope dances on an empty grave, symbolizing the resurrection and the defeat of death. The phrase "Death has lost its rule to the King of grace" encapsulates the central message of the song, highlighting the victory of Jesus over sin and death, bringing new life and hope to the world.

The chorus of the song calls for the presence of divine love to be the guiding force in our lives. Phrases like "Be the crown in the light and sound" and "Be the fire burning inside out" suggest a desire for this love to be the central, illuminating, and purifying force within us. The repetition of "Let Your Name rule the atmosphere" emphasizes the all-encompassing and transformative power of divine love, casting out all fear and bringing freedom.

The song also expresses deep gratitude and recognition of the source of this transformation. The lines "And we owe it all to Jesus" and "Sin and all its shame deleted" acknowledge the redemptive work of Jesus, which has erased sin and shame, and defeated death and its chains. The imagery of light and air in "And the light we see is Jesus" and "And the air we breathe is freedom" further reinforces the idea that Jesus is the source of life, light, and freedom, and that His love rules the atmosphere, creating a space where fear cannot exist.
