Revelation Song

Many church congregations know of the song "Revelation Song". It's become quite popular among churches, youth events, worship services, etc....but does everyone really understand the meaning behind the song? Here's a look at the lyrics:

Revelation Song
by Jennie Lee Riddle

Worthy is the Lamb
Who was slain
Holy Holy is He
Sing a new song
To Him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat

Worthy is the Lamb
Who was slain
Holy Holy is He
Sing a new song
To Him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat

Holy holy holy
Is the Lord, God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You

Clothed in rainbows
of living color
Flashes of lightening
Rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor
Strength and glory
And power be to You
The only wise King

(chorus)

Filled with wonder
Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name
Jesus Your name is power
Breath and living water
Such a marv'lous mystery yeah

(chorus)


This song was taken from the Word of God. In Revelation 4:8, "Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."
What is so neat to me about this song is that it is a clear picture of what we, as believers, have to look forward to. We're going to see God "clothed in rainbows of living color". We are going to see Him in all of His glory.
This was also foreseen in the Old Testament in Isaiah 6, "They were calling out to each other: Holy, holy, holy! The Lord Almighty is holy! His glory fills the world."
The promise of Christ's 2nd Coming was prophesied in both the Old and New Testament.
To know that all of God's children are going to partake in singing "Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty. Who was and is and is to come" to The Creator forever and ever, just blows my mind. I will finally get to see His face and just physically be with Him.
