Last night and this morning I read this same verse in 2 different places of the bible, " How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news!" (in Jeremiah and in Isaiah. And if I'm not mistaken, Paul quotes this same verse in Romans)This morning I sat down and read my favorite chapter of the bible, Isaiah 53. I was thinking that it would be awesome to write a song from this chapter. And guess what? I opened my church hymnal to pick my, "hymn-a-day" and guess what? I opened to this song:
"Our God Reigns" by Lenny Smith
How lovely on the mountains
are the feet of him
Who bring good news, good news:
Announcing peace,
Proclaiming news of happiness.
Our God reigns, our God reigns!
(Chorus)
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!
He had no stately form, He had no majesty
That we should be drawn to Him.
He was despised and we took no account of Him,
Yet now He reigns with the Most High.
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!
It was our sin and guilt
That bruised and wounded Him.
It was our sin that brought Him down.
When we like sheep had gone astray
Our Shepherd came
And on His shoulders bore our shame.
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!
Meek as a lamb that's led out to the slaughterhouse,
Dumb as a sheep before its shearer,
His life ran down upon the ground like pouring rain
That we might be born again.
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!
Out of the tomb He came with grace and majesty;
He is alive, He is alive.
God loves us so, see here His hands, His feet, His side.
Yes, we know He is alive.
Do you recognize these verses? They are from Isaiah 53! And the first verse is the verse that's been popping out everywhere I turn. I wonder what the LORD is trying to tell me? :D
