Pair o' Dime Props: Jennie Lee Riddle

Who? You ask. Well, I barely know who this person is myself, but about a month or so ago, we sang a song at my church that I thought was absolutely wonderful. Often songs sung in church appear to be focusing on God when in fact we're focusing on what he has done for us. Lately I have been led to earnestly try to remove all focus from myself and my concerns and and try to worship completely and unconditionally our Creator. This is easier said than done. Often our thoughts obstruct the view of Who we are worshiping. Well, the props go to Jennie Lee Riddle who wrote "Revelation Song" which to me is one of the most truly worshipful contemporary praise songs out there. She was obviously inspired when we wrote this and I know there are many who absolutely love singing and hearing this song. Of course, if she could respond to the "Props" she would probably redirect the compliment to God too. (Isn't that cool?)

Below you will find a YouTube version of her song sung by Kari Jobe, (who does a great job with it), and the lyrics which to me are so powerful.



Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You

Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and 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
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of your name
Jesus your name is power
Breath, and living water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah...

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
