Be Enthroned - Jeremy Riddle

I was pretty sure I loved this song a couple weeks ago. Then I tried to learn to play it/sing it for church to introduce it new last weekend. And that went really poorly. So then I decided I hated it (which is a silly reason to hate a song, but, it's how I was feeling). Then...it got STUCK in my head.

You know the song. The one that just won't go away.

So you start to think about the words... and what they mean... and maybe, just maybe, that song works its way back into your good graces.

"Be enthroned upon the praises of a thousand generations You are worthy, Lord of all. Unto You the slain and risen King we lift our voice with heaven singing worthy, Lord of all."

There's a lot going on in my life right now that I don't understand. Lives of people around me have been rocked to the very core, through loss, through their parent's choices, through human sin... I don't get it. This song has been a reminder that in the end, HE will win. In the end, we tried to kill Him, but He came back. The mercy we see each day is because of the blood that he paid.

So on through eternity we cry worthy, Lord of all. When we have nothing left. When we are poured out. We remember that His blood was poured out for us so that we can lift our voice with heaven, singing worthy, Lord of all.



We've come to join the song
Sung long before our lives
To raise our voice along
Heaven and earth alike

We've seen Your faithful hand
Your mercy without end
A King who bled and died
A God who sacrificed

Be enthroned upon the praises of
A thousand generations
You are worthy, Lord of all
Unto You the slain and risen King
We lift our voice with heaven
Singing worthy, Lord of all

All through this life we lead
And on through eternity
Our endless praise, We'll cry
Jesus be glorified

Be enthroned upon the praises of
A thousand generations
You are worthy, Lord of all
Unto You the slain and risen King
We lift our voice with heaven
Singing worthy, Lord of all

Highest Praises
Lord of all
