SEVENS Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This verse calls for awakening, urging people to stop waiting and get ready because a significant moment has arrived. The “weapon of praise” refers to using worship and faith as a powerful tool. It speaks of the blood of Jesus, symbolized by the “blood moon” and red, which has triumphed over evil, emphasizing victory through His sacrifice.

[Chorus]
The chorus speaks of a powerful vision of Heaven and angels, and the “sevens in the sky” likely represent divine signs and completeness. It acknowledges the growing threat of evil (“the time of the beast”), but assures that with faith and praise, believers will survive. The repeated call to “ready the weapon of praise” emphasizes the importance of staying spiritually strong and prepared for the challenges ahead.

[Verse 2]
This verse highlights the defeat of evil, symbolized by the “serpent” (often representing Satan) who is afraid because he has already seen his ultimate defeat through death. There’s no peace for evil, just destruction. The verse also alludes to Jesus’ resurrection, with questions about who rolled the stone away and the triumphant sound of trumpets announcing the coming of God’s victory.

[Chorus]
The chorus again describes a vision of Heaven, with the “sevens in the sky” symbolizing divine signs and a reminder of the coming battle between good and evil. Despite the danger, the song reassures that believers will survive and encourages spiritual awakening (“wipe off the slumber from your eyes”). It repeats the call to “ready the weapon of praise,” reinforcing the idea of strength through worship.

[Bridge]
The bridge emphasizes the importance of the number seven, a symbol of divine completion in scripture, mentioning seven heads, scrolls, seals, bows, stars, and signs. It reflects on God’s rule and reign over Heaven, the anticipation of His return, and the healing that will come with it. The image of angels preparing for battle and Jesus riding a stallion signifies the coming of the Lord in power. His word is portrayed as a weapon, both gentle and fierce, a reminder that God’s presence is both comforting and mighty.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the vision of Heaven and divine signs, continuing to emphasize the growing presence of evil but reassuring that believers will make it through. It calls for spiritual readiness through praise, highlighting that despite the challenges ahead, God’s power and protection will lead them to victory. The message remains consistent: remain vigilant and rely on the strength of faith and worship.
