This song is so underrated

Thank you! Our ancient and strong King will come. Oh how we need this reminder every day. 👑

A beautiful melodic lesson of the history of The kings of Israel and foretelling of Christ The servant king and Savior.... not only is The song loaded with information, but it also rhymes and is set to melody. It’s genius really. I would go as far as to say divinely inspired. I love how the melody changes as Isaiah is quoted on how He was rejected, despised, crushed for our iniquities. It brings tears of gratitude.

When Isiah speaks about the One Who Is To Come, I imagine his listeners eagerly waiting for the prophet to speak. Desperately wanting a great king upon a chariot of gold, to reign down upon all those that would oppress the people of God. Beyond the Caesars, Shahs, Pharaohs, and any other king of the world. Their anticipation for greatness. Instead, Isiah speaks those words written down in chapter 53. The listeners are stunned. Shock. Anger? Grumbling must ensue, and then the inevitable exodus away from the prophet. Not hearing the words they wanted to hear. I wonder if I am the same. But thanks be to God, that its His plans and mercies are revealed through His Son. And not my selfish desires for kings, power, and swords. Thank you Jesus for your grace, even for a sinner such as me.

Every time I listen to this I feel such peace. It’s like I don’t want it to end. Praise God! His love never ends, and we will one day experience perfect peace and joy because of Jesus.

Beautiful! But what about the final verse of Isaiah fulfilled in Christ?!

[@cristianafarias]

That’s the rest of the album. 😇

[@guadalupeguedea6643]

I can make sense of part of the lyrics. Something is not right. I'll have to do some research. Can someone help me please 🤗💖

[@thomasd.knight7899]

There is a lot to get our heads round in this song 😊 Let me know what you don't get and I'll try to help

[@BilJoeJaggins]

The only thing that I have noticed is in the lines "Hail, King David Shepherd from Bethlehem Set the temple of God In mighty Jerusalem" David was actually not allowed by God to build the temple due to the fact that he participated in so much bloodshed during his life. God did allow him to help prepare for the building of the temple by accumulating wealth and resources, and he also was the king that established the capital in Jerusalem and built his own palace there. So in a way, he did "set the temple" in Jerusalem by beginning the process. But it wasn't until the kingdom of Solomon that the temple was actually constructed. It's still a gorgeous song packed with Biblical truth, deep symbolism, and an observation of the magnificent foreshadowing through history of Christ's coming.

Such an excellent and well written song! But those 7/8 sections, the man is sadistic. Lol.

[@olovstenlund502]

cool so is it 7/8 or is it like 29/8 (3x7/8+8/8)?

[@Silence3157]

3 measures of 7/8 then 1 measure of 4/4 (or 8/8)

[@thepython10110]
