This lyric is about the title The end of Time, something we are very close to in this world. There's so much corruption, greed and war. Senseless killings and other pillaging and purging of people's homes and countries. Now the time is near, maybe even the time has come where we all will have to pay the price as a human race. We've done so much damage to the world, and the tension in the air can be cut by a knife. Birds usually always tell us something about what might be going on within the atmosphere or if there's danger coming. And the birds are sitting in the trees, hanging out on the wires, like they did in that movie The birds. You know any minute that is going to fly away with fear, right before the end happens. We will have no time to escape. Nothing will escape. Not even God can help anymore. It's the end of Time.

Something wicked emerged from the past.

The song talks about the unfailing faithfulness of God. He keeps us safe in the valley of death (Psalm 23:4), and guides our way in the wilderness of life. He is the eternal God, and remains the same through every age; His faithfulness cannot change. Those are the ideas conveyed in the Verses. The Chorus is a confession of our faith in His character: mountains may fall, storms may roar, the sun may burn crazy, and the flames may come bursting in but, still, in the midst of it all, He remains God; He remains good. Because of the assurance of His presence with us in such difficult times, we cannot but cling to His love, and to the truth of His promises given to us in His Word. The Bridge magnifies His Name above all else, speaking of His exceedingly surpassing greatness, above that of anyone or anything else we may be tempted to put our trust in.

This lyric is about a guy who was in love and still is in love with a person from their past. One day downtown they run into each other he hasn't seen her for a while and he just doesn't know what to do or what to say. All he knows is that memories tend to fade put a picture always last forever. He tried to talk to her about old times but it just wasn't working even when he brought up the the fact that he still has a picture of them in his wallet. It's a heartache type of lyric, but one person just has that love in them forever. I could relate, as if I ran into this girl that I needed when I was in my mid-20s, she's probably the one I fell in love with more than anybody and I used to have a picture of her but I lost it. Anyway it just made me think of this lyric.

The song tells the entire Gospel story in a nutshell. By submitting to the Father's will, as difficult as it was for Him, Jesus purchased remission of sins for the whole world on the Cross. As a result, in Christ, we have redemption (Ephesians 1:7). He also talked about the many mansions in His Father's house that He said He was going to make ready for those who receive the gift of salvation (John 14:1-3). Those are the main themes expressed in the two Verses. The end lines tell us the purpose for all this: so every nation and all creation can give high praise to God for His marvelous love towards us revealed in the vicarious sacrifice of Christ. The Chorus and Post-Chorus are a response showing our commitment to spread the news. This culminates in the Bridge which states that it's all for the glory of His Name, and that we are giving no excuses as we embark on this great commission.
