“Agnus Dei” – Monday Musical Musings

There are some songs or hymns out there are just plain difficult to sing or play. In years past, I’ve had to sing or play some of these songs and while I understand their value, I must admit I would fret over the notes to sing or play instead of worshiping God.

 

0005030206R-849x565 The song I offer today is not one of those songs. It’s simple. It’s easy. There are very few words. It’s beautiful. And for all of these reasons, I find it very easy to praise God throughout this song. It’s one of my favorites because of its simplicity.

 

In this song I find peace, comfort, strength, assurance, and rest. In this song I can praise God for all that He is in just a few words. Therefore I can sing with eyes closed and hands lifted in complete surrender to Him. It’s that simple.

 

Revelation 5:12 (NIV) is the song sung by thousands and thousands of angels around the throne as seen by John in his revelation. Their song was simple as well. “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”

 

The Lamb of God deserves our best, but sometimes He is best praised through simple words.

 

Today I pray that you will take the time to praise the Lamb for all that He’s done in your life for only He is worthy of our praise. I also pray that this song would be a catalyst of your praise.

 

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.” (Revelation 5:13-14 – NIV)
