MOHI desires to conduct a Sunday night service as long as the World Race is in town. Tonight I was not exactly looking forward to leaving my cozy area and personal time, editing photos and reading, to go to a church service in a foreign language.
I of course stopped my editing, put down my book, and went to church. God repeatedly declares that He rewards those who love him and do works for His glory. Tonight was no different. A group of racers were asked to lead worship and they eagerly embraced the opportunity. They played four songs, had microphones, guitars, congo drums and even a keyboard! It really was a performance. I sang the songs; they are full of words that convict me to live and believe and strive harder to exemplify Christ in my life.
It wasn’t until the last song that I felt a whole new atmosphere in the room. I was personally stirred by this transformation. The Revelation Song started with a single line sang by the worship team; then the whole room joined in with the chorus, and the church became a forceful choir!
As we sang “Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty� the unified voice with which we had been singing began to break down. Some of the words actually sounded wrong; “who’s singing?!�
Revelation Song:
Worthy is the lamb who was slain,
Holy holy is He
Sing a new song
To Him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat
Repeat
Holy Holy Holy
is the Lord God almighty
who was and is, and is to come
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my Everything
And I will, Adore You
Clothed in rainbows
Of living colors
Flashes of lightening
Rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor strengthen
Glory and power be
To you the only wise king
Holy Holy Holy
Is the Lord God almighty
Who was and is, and is to come
Filled with wonder
Awe struck wonder
At the mention of your name
Jesus your name is power
Breathe and living water
Such a marvelous mystery
