Jason Nelson - Isaiah 6 Lyrics
Lyrics
You are holy, Lord
Ohhhh
I saw the Lord
And He was high and lifted up
His train filled the temple
And there were angels up above
And they were crying
Holy, Holy You are
The whole earth is full of Your
Glory, Glory, oh God
And Isaiah said this, he said
I found myself right in the presence of the King
I was unclean still He touched me
He took my guilt away (Took my guilt away)
And then I heard Him say
Who will go
Who will speak for me
And I'll say
Send me I'll go (And I'll let the whole world know)
And I'll let the whole world know
That You are the Lord most high
And You are Holy, Holy, oh oh oh
Send me I'll go (And I'll let)
And I'll let the whole world know
That You are the Lord most high
And You are Holy, Holy
When I saw You
I saw myself
In Your glory
I couldn't help
But to worship Your Holy name
But to worship Your Holy name
So I'll say
Send me I'll go (And I'll let the whole world know)
And I'll let the whole world know (Somebody say)
That You are the Lord most high (And You are Holy, Holy)
And You are Holy, Holy (So I'll say)
Send me I'll, send me I'll go

Jason Nelson - Isaiah 6 (Live Official Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Jason Nelson's release of "Isaiah 6" on August 9, 2024, delivered through a powerful Live Official Video, immerses listeners in a profound encounter with divine holiness and human response. This song draws directly from the sixth chapter of the book of Isaiah, a pivotal moment in the prophet's life where he experiences a life-altering vision of God enthroned in heavenly glory. The passage describes the Lord seated high and lifted up, His train filling the temple, surrounded by seraphim crying out, "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!" (Isaiah 6:3). This overwhelming display of God's utter purity and majesty immediately exposes Isaiah's own sinfulness; he cries out, "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!" (Isaiah 6:5). It's a raw, honest confession that resonates deeply – seeing God in His true light reveals our inadequacy and need for cleansing, much like Peter's reaction in Luke 5:8 when confronted with Jesus' miraculous power.
The story doesn't end with conviction; it moves to purification. One of the seraphim takes a burning coal from the altar and touches Isaiah's lips, saying, "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin is purged" (Isaiah 6:7). This symbolic act represents the cleansing and atonement necessary to stand in God's presence, a purification ultimately and fully realized for us through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:10-14). Freed from the burden of sin, Isaiah is then able to hear God's question: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" (Isaiah 6:8a). His immediate, unhesitating reply – "Here am I; send me" (Isaiah 6:8b) – is the culmination of this divine encounter: seeing God, acknowledging unworthiness, receiving purification, and responding to the call to service.
Jason Nelson's musical interpretation captures the essence of this transformative journey. The live setting amplifies the sense of shared worship and the weight of the moment. The music likely builds from a place of awe and reverence, reflecting the grandeur of God's throne room described in Isaiah 6:1-4. As the song progresses, it navigates the tension of human frailty in the face of divine perfection, perhaps through a change in intensity or vocal expression, mirroring Isaiah's "Woe is me." The turning point, the purification, is often musically represented by a shift towards hope and grace. Finally, the song likely crescendos into a powerful declaration of surrender and readiness, echoing Isaiah's "Here am I; send me." This is not just Isaiah's story; it's a pattern for every believer – an invitation to behold God's holiness (Psalm 99:5), acknowledge our need for His cleansing (Psalm 51:7), and respond when He calls us to be His hands and feet in the world (Matthew 28:19-20). The song serves as a potent reminder that encountering the Holy One invariably leads to transformation and commissioning for His purpose, prompting those who engage with it to consider their own posture before God and their readiness to say, "Send me."
