Revelation Song
Phillips, Craig & Dean
A Celestial Hymn of Praise: The Majesty of 'Revelation Song'
Phillips, Craig & Dean's 'Revelation Song' is a powerful worship anthem that draws heavily from the imagery and themes found in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. The song opens with a declaration of the worthiness of the 'Lamb who was slain,' a direct reference to Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death. This sets the tone for the entire song, which is a celebration of divine holiness and majesty. The repeated use of 'Holy, Holy, Holy' echoes the angelic worship described in Revelation 4:8, emphasizing the eternal and unchanging nature of God.
The lyrics invite listeners to join in a 'new song' of praise, directed towards 'Him who sits on Heaven's mercy seat.' This phrase alludes to the mercy seat in the Holy of Holies in the ancient Jewish temple, symbolizing God's throne of grace and forgiveness. The song's chorus, 'With all creation I sing, Praise to the King of Kings,' underscores the universal scope of worship, suggesting that all of creation is united in adoration of the divine. The imagery of 'rainbows of living color,' 'flashes of lightning,' and 'rolls of thunder' further enhances the sense of awe and wonder, painting a vivid picture of the heavenly throne room.
The song also highlights the transformative power of Jesus' name, described as 'power, breath, and living water.' This metaphorical language conveys the life-giving and sustaining nature of Christ's presence. The repeated refrain of 'You are my everything, And I will adore You' serves as a personal declaration of faith and devotion, inviting listeners to make the same commitment. 'Revelation Song' is not just a song; it's an invitation to experience the divine mystery and majesty, to be filled with 'awestruck wonder' at the mention of Jesus' name.
