Citizens - Revelation Song Lyrics
Lyrics
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 marv'lous mystery
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
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

Revelation Song - Mission House & Citizens, REVERE (Official Live Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
"Revelation Song," as performed by Mission House & Citizens, released on July 9, 2021, is a profound spiritual declaration that draws directly from the apocalyptic visions of the Book of Revelation, a cornerstone of Christian eschatology. This rendition transcends mere musical arrangement, serving as a vibrant, living interpretation of biblical prophecy and worship. The song’s narrative is deeply rooted in the worship of God and Christ as depicted in Revelation chapters 4 and 5, where John, in his vision, witnesses celestial beings and a multitude of redeemed souls adoring the Lamb who was slain. The recurring phrase, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain," directly echoes the praise offered in Revelation 5:12, proclaiming the infinite value and efficacy of Christ's sacrifice. The powerful imagery of "Clothed in rainbows of living color, flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder" is a vivid invocation of God's majestic presence described in Revelation 4:3, immediately followed by the song’s depiction of divine attributes like "Blessing and honor, strength and glory, and power," mirroring the acclamations given to God by the elders and living creatures in that same chapter.
The core message of "Revelation Song" is the utter supremacy and eternal reign of God, specifically the Lord God Almighty, who "was and is and is to come," a phrase that powerfully encapsulates His timeless existence, directly referencing Revelation 1:4 and 1:8. The song articulates a collective offering of worship, not just from the earthly singers but from "all creation," aligning with the cosmic praise envisioned in Revelation 5:13 where every created thing in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and in the sea is heard giving praise to Him. The personal commitment expressed in "You are my everything, and I will adore You" moves beyond corporate worship to a deeply personal allegiance, a response to the overwhelming revelation of God's character. The lines about Jesus' name being "power, breath and living water" resonate with numerous biblical accounts of Jesus’ miraculous works and His provision of spiritual sustenance, drawing parallels to John 4:14 where Jesus speaks of living water and Ephesians 2:1 where He is described as the one who gives life. The awe-struck wonder at the mention of His name speaks to the transformative power inherent in acknowledging Jesus Christ, fulfilling the prophetic declaration in Philippians 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. Ultimately, "Revelation Song" serves as a powerful conduit for believers to engage with the grandeur of God's redemptive plan and eternal sovereignty, inviting listeners to join in a timeless chorus of adoration that spans earth and heaven.
