revelation song

Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them!
~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Music is what feelings sound like.

While a number of songs and ditties stick in my head and randomly bubble up to my lips at the oddest times, only a handful of songs have truly captured what I feel. Certain lyrics and melodies perfectly embody my emotion, and these songs are like old friends.

This happened recently when my mother-in-law introduced me to Revelation Song. She knows what I like, I guess. It was just lovely, and I downloaded for a solo trip down to Georgia for a wedding. With seven hours in the care ahead of me, I wanted to make the most of my time, which meant singing and praying my way down I-95. This song struck me so deeply on the road that I continued to repeat it, crying each time it played. Driving became a little hazardous through the tears and rain, but I pressed on, singing away.

This song is an echo of the songs of heaven written in the book of Revelation. Its an echo of what believers will sing to their King. It was like hearing the future. It was like hearing heaven's worship and heaven's rest. For someone who is continually tired, hearing heaven's rest fed the hope I have in Christ. Because this song is so lovely and overflowing with meaning and emotion and appropriately responds to the greatness of God, I wanted to share it with you. The link below will take you to youtube.com and to a recording of the song.

I hope it moves you to worship as it did me.
