Hillsong Worship’s “You Are Life” is a Christian worship song that expresses themes of finding new life in faith. The song opens with the idea that Jesus’ arrival brings everlasting life. The lyrics speak of being “alive” and knowing the freedom that comes with faith. A central image is of being bathed in the “light” of Jesus, the savior.
The chorus shifts the focus to how this newfound life makes the singer feel. They describe themselves as “dancing in the arms of forever” and “singing like I’m walking on water.” These are metaphors for the joy and security found in faith. The second verse talks about finding hope and purpose even in difficult times. The lyrics use the image of “greyest skies” turning to “living color” to represent how faith can transform challenges.
The song ends with a declaration of devotion. The singer says they will “give my life to follow” because God’s love is all they desire. The bridge broadens the message to include the world, expressing a desire that everyone would find God’s love.
