Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kevin Lemons & Higher Calling's song "Oil of the Lord" speak of the need for spiritual empowerment and healing. The repeated chorus emphasizes the need for the "oil of the Lord," which refers to the anointing and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. The song recognizes the struggles and burdens that people experience, referred to as "yokes," and acknowledges that it is only through the power of the anointing that these can be destroyed. The inclusion of the plea for healing from the Lord suggests that physical, emotional, and spiritual struggles are all covered in this request for the oil of the Lord.

The second part of the song moves from a request for anointing and healing to a request for the manifestation of God's glory. The repeated chorus seeks to "show your glory" and "let your glory fill this place." This request for God's glory is both an acknowledgment of God's power and a recognition that it is only through His glory that true and lasting transformation can occur. The shift from requesting the oil of the Lord to requesting God's glory suggests that true change cannot occur through human effort alone but requires the supernatural intervention of God.

Overall, the lyrics of the song "Oil of the Lord" express a deep dependence on God and a recognition that only He can provide the anointing, healing, and glory that are needed for transformation.
