It’s not often Christian music has me saying, “Crank it up!”, but that’s the power of the song for me. From its quiet opening, the tempo change and instrumental intensity grow into a crescendo, evoking an image of Riverdance performers, and I just want to dance with joy. We’re asked to “sing a new song”, praising our God of love and giving Him all the glory.
As usual, the tune drew me in, while the lyrics sealed the deal:
Oh, I can feel redemption on the wind
Forgiveness like the tide rollin’ in
Taking up the space where shame has lived
Receiving all that You died to give
And all God’s people sang, Amen!
May all God’s children enjoy the finding and singing of new revival songs, filled with the Spirit!
