1. What message does the song communicate?
We wait for God expectantly for a renewal of the Holy Spirit breathed on us. We lay down ourselves, ancicipating that God will pull us near to Himself as we see His glory.
Score: 10/10

100% of the lyrics do.

Line 2: That is, the Holy Spirit (John 20:22).
Line 3: Those who are in Christ are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Lines 4 and 5: Repeats line 2.
[Chorus]
Lines 1-3: This requires surrender (Psalm 43:5, Isaiah 64:8, Matthew 10:38, Matthew 11:28-30, Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34-38, Mark 10:28, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27, John 15:1-11, Romans 6:13, Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 2:20, Philippians 2:5-8, Hebrews 11:6, James 4:7-10, and 1 Peter 5:6).

[Bridge]
Line 1: Essentially repeats Verse, line 2.
Lines 2-4: Repeats line 1.
Score: 10/10
3. How would an outsider interpret the song?
Christians will probably know that this “breathing” is what Christians commonly refer to as the Holy Spirit who lives in us. Christians await for a fresh dose of this Spirit and surrender to receive more of Him. The dead giveaway is the word “Lord” in Verse. The whole thing is written in plain English and easy to comprehend.
Score: 10/10
4. What does this song glorify?
It glorifies God by calling Christians to yield to His ways, anticipating a fresh renewal of His Spirit.
Score: 10/10
Closing Comments
Every Nation Music’s Make Room is Biblical. It draws Christians to wait on the Lord for a fresh dose of His Spirit, laying down their lives for His sake as He increases in our lives. These bring Him glory. Unbelievers should piece together a similar interetation with relatively little difficulty.
This song is appropriate for corporate worship.
Final Score: 10/10
