There are lots of great opening songs that focus on attributes of God (his greatness, his faithfulness, his holiness, etc.) but not so many that focus explicitly on Christ. I wanted to write something in an up-tempo, contemporary style that carries the Christ-exalting richness of passages like Colossians 1 and Philippians 2. The three verses intertwine the story of our salvation with the story of Christ’s eternal glory, while the chorus lifts for a big, worshipping response.
An Easter song, from Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on palm Sunday, to this death, resurrection and eternity. Each verse highlighting his character and identity as the Lamb, the Lion, and then the King.
Written in the style of a Modern Hymn, yet having the taste of contemporary music, arrangement and performance.
This is not a worship song. It is a call to righteous action. Through history, to our day, the courageous (very often people of faith) have spoken up against tyranny, injustice, lies etc. Our God is a God of justice and truth and we can shrink back from confronting wrongdoing affecting society.
I think we constantly need to be encouraged to say something.
