Oh Revelation Song how powerful you are! This song is so very dear to my heart. Written by Jennie Riddle, Revelation song was birthed after about 10 years of her prayers desiring that the church come together as one Bride and earnestly desire to see Christ's return worshipping His name in every tongue! This song also happens to be the first song that I ever lead in worship! I remember being so nervous because its such a powerful and important song and I didn't want my average little voice to mess it up and distract people from entering into His presence, The throne room of Jesus!
The lyrics come straight out of Revelation 4 and 5 and are breathtaking! It's a glimpse of what worship is like in Heaven!
"After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this. Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come! Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created." (Revelation 4:1-11 NKJV)
"Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying: You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth. Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing! And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever! (Revelation 5:9-13 NKJV)
I didn't quite feel how powerful the lyrics were until I read them for myself in Revelation. Don't you see it? It's Gods perfect will that it is on Earth as it is on Heaven! He has made us Kings and Priests and we have ALL authority to go boldly before Him at his throne! My encouragement for you is to take time seeking to press in deeper in His presence because His presence is sweet and perfect and full of all things Good! We don't have to be in church or meet with a pastor or priest to be in His presence! He is with us wherever we are, wherever we go and though whatever we have done! His Holy Spirit is living and active inside of us to teach us and guide us and lead us into all things new!
My desire is to be like those worshipping Christ in His throne room! I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips. (Psalm 34:1 NIV)
