HE IS… |

HE IS – Below are the words of Aaron and Jeoffrey’s song “HE IS” (from 1995) which exalts the NAME of the LORD. Scriptures have been linked with each of the song’s descriptions of HIS NAME (you are encouraged to read these but note that some are only indirect references). Indeed, as we listen to this song may we too “Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His NAME” (Ps 29:2-note) even as do the songs of the Psalms. Let us…“Call upon His NAME. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Thy NAME in all the earth, Thy great and awesome NAME. Revive us, and we will call upon Thy NAME for those who know Thy NAME will put their trust in Thee and will wait on Thy NAME, for it is good. Let us exalt His NAME together and give thanks to His holy NAME for those who love Thy NAME will exult in Thee and will lift up their HANDS in Thy NAME and will sing praise to the NAME of the LORD Most High and will glorify Thy NAME forever. May His NAME endure forever. May His NAME increase as long as the sun shines; and let men bless themselves by Him. Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy NAME. Our Help is in the NAME of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. Blessed be the NAME of the LORD from this time forth and forever. From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, the LORD’s NAME is to be praised. I Will extol Thee, my God, O King; I will bless Thy NAME forever and ever.” AMEN (Ps 105:1-note, Ps 8:1-note, Ps 99:3-note, Ps 80:18-note, Ps 9:10-note, Ps 52:9-note, Ps 34:3-note, Ps 97:12-note, Ps 5:11-note, Ps 63:4-note, Ps 7:17-note, Ps 86:12-note, Ps 72:17-note, Ps 103:1-note,Ps 124:8-note, Ps 113:2-3-note, Ps 145:1-note) HE IS… In Genesis, He’s the Breath of life (Ge 2:7) In Exodus, the Passover Lamb (Ex 12:21) In Leviticus, He’s our High Priest (Lv 16:32-33) Numbers, The Fire by night (Nu 9:15-16) Deuteronomy, He’s Moses’ voice (Dt 18:15) In Joshua, He is Salvation’s Choice (Josh 24:15) Judges, Law Giver (Jdg 2:1) In Ruth, the Kinsmen-Redeemer (Goel Ru 4:14) First and Second Samuel, our Trusted Prophet (1Sa 10:6) In Kings and Chronicles, He’s Sovereign (2Chr 20:6) Ezra, True and Faithful Scribe (Ezra 7:10) Nehemiah, He’s the Rebuilder of broken walls and lives (Neh 2:20) In Esther, He’s Mordecai’s Courage (Esther 2:21-22, 6:3) In Job, the timeless Redeemer (Job 19:25) In Psalms, He is our Morning Song (Ps 5:3) In Proverbs, Wisdom’s Cry (Pr 8:22) Ecclesiastes, the Time and Season (Eccl 3:11) In the Song of Solomon, He is the Lover’s Dream (Song 2:16) He is, He is, HE IS!
