Isaiah VI
Meaning & Inspiration
Andy Park's "Isaiah VI," released on September 29, 2018, is a powerful declaration of divine holiness and glory, drawing its inspiration directly from the awe-inspiring vision recorded in Isaiah chapter 6 of the Old Testament. This song isn't just a musical piece; it’s an invitation to participate in an ancient, profound act of worship, echoing the seraphim’s ceaseless cries before the throne of God. The narrative behind "Isaiah VI" is rooted in Isaiah's transformative encounter in the temple. He witnesses the Lord enthroned, high and lifted up, with the hem of His robe filling the temple. This vision overwhelms him with a sense of his own unworthiness, a stark contrast to the perfect holiness of God. The seraphim, positioned around the throne, engage in a celestial liturgy, calling out to one another, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory." It is this unceasing proclamation of God's absolute purity and encompassing majesty that Andy Park masterfully channels into his song.
The core message of "Isaiah VI" is the unassailable, transcendent holiness of God, a truth that reverberates through the heavens and ought to permeate the earth. The repetition of "Holy, holy, holy" is not mere redundancy but a deliberate echo of the Hebrew concept of *kadosh*, which signifies not only separateness and purity but also supreme power and divine otherness. This triple declaration, found also in Revelation 4:8 where the elders fall down and worship the Creator, emphasizes the unparalleled nature of God’s sanctity. The song highlights how this divine holiness is recognized and celebrated by all of creation, specifically mentioning "all the angels" and then extending the call to "all your people." This progression signifies the universal scope of God's glory, that it is acknowledged in the celestial realm and is meant to be understood and proclaimed by humanity as well. The exaltation of God's Name is central, signifying a public declaration and honor bestowed upon Him, acknowledging His supreme authority and worth. When the lyrics state "The whole earth is filled with your glory," it points to the omnipresence of God's magnificent presence, a truth also alluded to in verses like Psalm 19:1, which declares, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." This fills the believer with a profound sense of awe, reminding us that wherever we are, we are in the presence of a holy God whose glory is manifest. The transition from "Holy" to "Glory" underscores the natural outflow of God's nature: His holiness is the very essence that gives rise to His observable glory, a radiant manifestation of His character that impacts all of existence. The song beautifully captures the essence of worship as a response to the revelation of God’s supreme being, urging us to join the heavenly host in their unending praise.
