Happy New Year! Well it's been a month since my last blog so what better time to get another one in...
This is an older song I wrote back in 2005. I had read the end of Jude and wanted to put it to music for some time. After playing with a few different ideas, this came out. Three verses and a chorus, with a tag that soars to the finish. The first two verses help explain the background to Jesus' coming while the last verse and chorus deal with Jude's doxology itself.
VERSE 1
From heaven, You came
The King of all kings
The holiest One, would take on all sin
Your arms open wide
You embraced sacrifice
An unworthy world, You gave Your life for
CHORUS
All wisdom and all glory be
Unto You, O Lord, You're deserving of all praise
All power and all authority
Unto You, O Lord, forever, amen
VERSE 2
From heaven, You came
Great Light of the world
Slain for the freedom of every soul
You broke through the night
In magnificent light
And forever You stand in victory
VERSE 3
Creation will bow
As Your trumpet resounds
When You will return to this earth as King
Your arms open wide
You'll welcome Your bride
Blameless and pure in Your presence
TAG
All honour and all praise, amen
To You, forever Lord, amen
I pray this song is a blessing to you. There is a recording up on www.myspace.com/andrewmihaleff. If you would like to use this at your church please contact me and I'd be happy to get sheet music to you.
In Christ,
AM
