Hark

"Hark" by Planetshakers is a modern rendition of the classic Christmas carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," originally penned by Charles Wesley in 1739. This song is a jubilant proclamation of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated by angels and humanity alike. The lyrics emphasize the divine nature of Christ's birth, heralding peace on earth and the reconciliation between God and sinners. The repeated call to "Hark!" invites listeners to pay attention to the heavenly message of hope and salvation.

The song is rich with theological significance, portraying Jesus as the "newborn King" and "everlasting Lord." It highlights the miraculous nature of His birth, being born of the Virgin Mary, and His dual nature as both God and man. The lyrics "Hail the Flesh, the Godhead see" and "Hail the incarnate Deity" underscore the Christian belief in the incarnation, where God took human form in Jesus. This event is celebrated as a pivotal moment in Christian theology, marking the beginning of a new era of grace and redemption.

Planetshakers, known for their energetic and uplifting worship music, infuse this traditional carol with a contemporary sound, making it accessible to modern audiences while retaining its profound message. The song's themes of peace, healing, and new beginnings resonate deeply, especially during the Christmas season, when believers reflect on the significance of Christ's birth. The lyrics speak of Jesus as the "Prince of Peace" and "Son of Righteousness," bringing "light and life" to all, emphasizing His role in offering spiritual rebirth and eternal life to humanity.
