A Divine Arrival: The Worship Medley by Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir
The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir's 'The Worship Medley (He Came/ Jesus, the Son of God)' is a powerful and reverent celebration of the birth and divinity of Jesus Christ. The song opens with a vivid depiction of Jesus' humble arrival, emphasizing His 'sweet surrender' to a manger. This imagery highlights the contrast between His divine nature and the modest circumstances of His birth, underscoring the profound humility and love that characterize His mission on Earth. The lyrics convey a sense of awe and gratitude for the Savior who came to bring life and hope to humanity.
The repetition of phrases like 'The Saviour sent from heaven' and 'Jesus our Emmanuel' reinforces the central theme of Jesus as a divine gift to the world. 'Emmanuel,' meaning 'God with us,' signifies the intimate connection between the divine and human realms, made possible through Jesus' incarnation. The song's structure, with its recurring lines and meditative pace, invites listeners to reflect deeply on the significance of Jesus' birth and His role as the bringer of salvation.
As the medley transitions to the worshipful refrain, 'Jesus the Son of God,' the focus shifts to adoration and reverence. The call to 'Bow down and worship Him' serves as an invitation for believers to acknowledge Jesus' lordship and surrender to His divine authority. The repetition of this call to worship creates a communal and immersive experience, encouraging listeners to join in the collective act of worship. The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir's harmonious and soulful delivery enhances the song's spiritual impact, making it a moving and uplifting expression of faith.
