Guy Penrod - 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
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 lighting rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor strength and glory and power be
To You the only one who's 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
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
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You

Meaning & Inspiration
Guy Penrod's rendition of "Revelation Song," released as part of his 2016 album *Hymns & Worship*, is a powerful and deeply resonant declaration of faith. The song draws its profound inspiration from the book of Revelation, specifically the celestial worship scenes described by the Apostle John. The core message of "Revelation Song" is an unwavering acknowledgment of Jesus Christ's ultimate worthiness and divinity, celebrated through the imagery of heavenly praise. The lyrics consistently return to the concept of the Lamb, a pivotal symbol in Christian theology representing Jesus' sacrificial death for humanity, echoing passages like Isaiah 53:7 where it is written, "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth." The repeated affirmation of "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty" directly references the seraphim's cry before God's throne as depicted in Isaiah 6:3 and echoed in Revelation 4:8, underscoring the absolute holiness and sovereignty of God. Penrod's delivery amplifies this scriptural weight, imbuing the declaration with a sense of awe and profound reverence. The song poetically captures the multifaceted nature of Christ's reign and presence, acknowledging His past, present, and future existence—"Who was and is and is to come"—a phrase that directly reflects God's self-description to Moses in Exodus 3:14 and His description in Revelation 1:8. The imagery of being "Clothed in rainbows of living color," "Flashes of lightning," and "rolls of thunder" paints a vivid picture of God's majestic and awe-inspiring glory, as described in Revelation 4:3 and Ezekiel 1:28. The song’s central thesis, that Christ is "everything" worthy of adoration, aligns with the Great Commandment to love God with all one's heart, soul, and mind, as found in Matthew 22:37. Ultimately, "Revelation Song" serves as a profound invitation for listeners to join in this celestial chorus, to offer their own praise and adoration to the King of Kings, recognizing His supreme value and the transformative power of His name, which is indeed "power, breath, and living water," as the lyrics suggest, pointing to the life-giving Spirit and the truth of His Word.
