Remember that music isn't my strong area. I'm a language person. Yet, I need to learn all I can in this area and be prepared. As a leader of worship, I need to understand what is going on, even if the main task is in someone else's realm.
I enjoy music. That is likely evident by the number of posts on music. Music speaks to my heart, mind, and soul. There isn't much better than music with strong lyrics and a good tune. Sometimes all one needs is a good tune. It depends on what the need is or where the mind, heart, or soul happen to be at the time.
Anyway..... as I listened to the radio, there were three songs that caught my attention. They weren't played consecutively. Yet as I heard them, I thought they would make a good worship set. They could be played as the worship set prior to the prayer, then the pastor would bring the word.
The three songs:
- "Yours Will Be" (also known as: "The Only Name" and "Land of Glory") by Big Daddy Weave
- "Oceans" (Where Feet May Fail) by Hillsong United
- "Revelation Song" by Phillips, Craig and Dean (I am actually not sure who was singing this song on this day on the radio. It was written by Jennie Lee Riddle. It has been sung by Kari Jobe, Susan Ashton, the Newsboys, and probably others in English. In Spanish, it has been sung by Ingrid Rosario "Digno y Santo" and Danilo Montero. At the end of this post you will find a video of "The Story Behind the Revelation Song" and a few links to other singers singing it.)
YOURS WILL BE by Big Daddy Weave
OCEANS by Hillsong United
REVELATION SONG by Phillips, Craig & Dean
I think the last song is a good response song to the Word too. It can lead into hearing the Word and allow for response to the Word.
Here are the lyrics for these three songs:
YOURS WILL BE by Big Daddy Weave (off the Love Come to Life album)
Yours will be the only Name that matters to me
The only One Whose favor I seek
The only Name that matters to me
Yours will be
The friendship and affection I need
To feel my Father smiling on me
The only Name that matters to me
Yours is the Name the Name that has saved me
Mercy and grace the power that forgave me
And Your love is all I’ve ever needed
When I wake up in the Land of Glory
And with the saints I will tell my story
There will be one Name that I proclaim
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, just that Name
OCEANS by Hillsong United (off the Zion album)
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand
And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
[x6]
I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
REVELATION SONG by Phillips, Craig & Dean (off the album Fearless)
Worthy is the,
Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to Him who sits on
Heaven's Mercy Seat
[Repeat 2x]
[Chorus:]
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…!
Yeah!
Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and
Glory and power be
To You the Only Wise King,
Yeah
[Repeat Chorus:]
Filled with wonder,
Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your Name is Power
Breath, and Living Water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah...
[Chorus:]
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…
[Chorus (Repeat at a cappella)]
Come up lift up His Name
To the King of Kings…
We will adore YOU Lord…
King of heaven and earth
King Jesus, King Jesus
Aleluya, aleluya, aleluya!
Majesty, awestruck Honor
And Power and Strength and Dominion
To You Lord,
To the King, to King
To the King of Glory
[Chorus (Repeats)]
THE STORY BEHIND THE REVELATION SONG

Spanish lyrics:
«Digno Y Santo»
Digno y Santo el cordero
Inmolado en la cruz
Nuevo canto
Al quien su trono esta
Digno y Santo el cordero
Inmolado en la cruz
Nuevo canto levantaremos
Al quien su trono esta
[Coro:]
Santo, santo, santo
Dios todo poderoso
Quien fue, quien es y quien vendra
La creacion te canta
Hosana al gran Yo Soy
Tu eres mi todo
Y yo te adorare...
De un arcoiris, estas vestido
Tu voz resuena como los truenos
Recibe Honor y Gloria
Poder y Majestad
A ti el unico Rey
[Coro]
Tan grandioso, asombroso
Con solo decir Jesus
Tan grandioso, asombroso
Con solo decir Jesus
Cristo tu nombre es grande
Fuerte inagotable
Tu misterio glorioso es
Eres santo
[Coro 2x]
I hijacked my own post, going from a worship set to an in-depth post about the "Revelation Song". But it caught my attention that it was originally written by someone, recorded and sung by many, and also sung and recorded in Spanish. Truthfully, I can listen to the song over and over. That may be obvious by now. ☺ I hope it hasn't been too much for you. If it has been, then you have the choice to not click and listen. ☺
Thanks for allowing me to share what I'm learning from my worship class with you. It's all part of my journey.
What are you sharing with others from your journey?
Blessings as you travel,
Debra
