Hallelujah to the Lamb



In last week’s Herald, John Piper was quoted as saying, “Missions exists because worship doesn’t”.

 

Missions and evangelism will cease when Christ comes again, for all who gather before His throne will be praising and glorifying His name. That scene is found in the book of Revelation and Don Moen has attempted to capture it in the lyrics of the song Hallelujah To The Lamb.

 

As we are in the midst of Missions Month, may we take the time to prayerfully reflect on the lyrics. May they inspire and encourage us as we persevere in our prayers and participation in missions and evangelism.

 

Hallelujah To The Lamb

 

Lord I stand in the midst of a multitude

Of those from every tribe and tongue

We are Your people redeemed by Your blood

Rescued from death by Your love

There are no words

Good enough to thank You

There are no words to express my praise

But I will lift up my voice

And sing from my heart

With all of my strength.

 

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

To the Lamb

Hallelujah hallelujah

By the blood of Christ we stand

Every tongue every tribe

Every people every land

Giving glory giving honour

Giving praise unto the Lamb of God.

 

Lord we stand by grace in Your presence

Cleansed by the blood of the Lamb

We are Your children called by Your name

Humbly we bow and we pray.

 

Release Your power

To work in us and through us

Till we are changed

To be more like You.

Then all the nations will see

Your glory revealed

And worship You.

 

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

To the Lamb

Hallelujah hallelujah

By the blood of Christ we stand

Every tongue every tribe

Every people every land

Giving glory giving honour

Giving praise unto the Lamb of God.

 

Every knee shall bow

Every tongue confess

That You are Lord of all.

 

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

To the Lamb

Hallelujah hallelujah

By the blood of Christ we stand

Every tongue every tribe

Every people every land

Giving glory giving honour

Giving praise unto the Lamb of God.

 

Giving praise unto the Lamb of God

Giving praise unto the Lamb of God

Jesus Christ Lamb of God

 

In reflecting upon the lyrics, may we be reminded that we have been bought with the precious blood of the Lamb and thus our lives are to be lived in worship of Him who has redeemed us.

 

Thus, in anticipation of the glorious scene in Revelation 5, we are privileged in our place in human history to be able to heed the call in Romans 10:

 

Rom 10:14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

 

Ps Daniel Tan
