| Josh Garrels – Rabbit & The Bear Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Beautifully symbolic song of salvation in Jesus. My humble opinion shot at it: -Escaped from the trap = Escaped the trap of sin -With rabbit & bear & sparrows = creation (including animals) are under the fallen nature of sin as well, and will escape sin's corruption when Jesus comes again. -Craw under wire = I picture escaping a prison (literally a wire fence), references the escaping of Christians bondage in sin. -Through the darkest wood = apart from God is darkness (John chapter 1) -On mountain top of fire = represents God at Mt. Sinai, and specifically Christians ability to be in his presence because of Jesus like Moses at Sinai -Where everything is freeEEEEeeEEE= Jesus gives us the free gift of grace!!!! -In light of sun = Jesus is light of world (John 1) and will be the light at center of fully consummated kingdom when He returns again (Rev 21) - Where every creature sings, Lord you rescued us all = God will renew creation and believers bodies with Jesus second coming (see Romans 8:22) - Snake = devil, (Genesis 2) father of lies, wants to dissuade people from hope in Christ - Lion = Jesus - Claw and crown = His perfect judgement and reign - Follow, follow his every move = Philippians 2, be Christ's imitators |
