Revelation 14:1-5
It’s a thing of great beauty to ponder the New Song that will fall from Heaven to declare the worthiness of the Lamb when He stands in victory on Mount Zion. Those who have followed the Lamb wherever He goes (14:4) have the set aside honor of joining a thundering voice from the heavens in a song only they are allowed to learn. Those who have patiently endured, who have shown wisdom and faithfulness in the severest of testing and trials are rewarded with a song only they can sing.
While my heart longs to participate in the song of the 144,000, in a sense those who love Christ, who have faithfully followed the Lamb wherever He leads (even today), have a song to sing to the Lamb that only their heart is shaped and formed to offer. I think of the many times during worship when the lyrics of a song speak directly to a personal experience of God’s faithfulness. Or being touched while worshipping in song thinking of a time when He has ministered to the deepest, most private need of my heart. But there is a place that the lyrics of others, even the Word of God does not fully express everything I feel for Jesus. The love and adoration I have for Christ falls outside the parameters and limits of words. The songs I offer up on this side of heaven are but a shadow of the song I will one day sing before the throne. I can’t wait until I receive the gift of a new song which will perfectly express it all- everything He deserves to hear and every way He deserves to be praised and I can join all of heaven bursting out in a new song for the Redeemer. What a thrilling day to come!
Until then...I drink deeply of the beautiful songs of praise to Jesus...below is a link to one such song. Enter in, worship the Lamb, blend in your own heart’s song in worship to the King of Kings. Be blessed.
