- Song of the Redeemed
-
Sing the 'song of the redeemed'
Follow the Lamb wherever He goes
Follow Him on the Highway of Holiness
Only the redeemed may walk this WAY
Following hard after Jesus, who is the WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE
The 'song of the redeemed', an everlasting crown of joy
Shout for joy on the height of Zion
Radiant over the bounty of the LORD--
Over the grain and the new wine and the oil,
And over the young of the flock and the herd;
And their life will be like a watered garden,
And they will never languish again.
They will rejoice in the dance
For their mourning will turn to joy
And sorrow and sighing will flee away
The people of the LORD will be filled and satisifed with His goodness
They will drink from the fountain of the water of life
They will drink and be satisfied forever more.
For He who is seated on the throne will say
'See! I make all things new'
Sing the 'song of the redeemed'
Follow the Lamb wherever He goes
Follow Him on the Highway of Holiness ...
Revelation 14:1-4
THEN I looked, and behold, the Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 [men] who had His name and His Father's name inscribed on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of great waters and like the rumbling of mighty thunder; the voice I heard [seemed like the music] of harpists accompanying themselves on their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne [of God] and before the four living creatures and before the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin]. No one could learn [to sing] that song except the 144,000 who had been ransomed (purchased, redeemed) from the earth. These are they who have not defiled themselves by relations with women, for they are [pure as] virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These are they who have been ransomed (purchased, redeemed) from among men as the firstfruits for God and the Lamb.
Isaiah 35:8-10
A highway will be there, a roadway,
And it will be called the Highway of Holiness
The unclean will not travel on it,
But it will be for him who walks that way,
And fools will not wander on it.
No lion will be there,
Nor will any vicious beast go up on it;
These will not be found there
But the redeemed will walk there,
And the ransomed of the LORD will return
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
With everlasting joy upon their heads
They will find gladness and joy,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Jeremiah 31:7, 11-14
For thus says the LORD,
"Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
And shout among the chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise and say,
'O LORD, save Your people,
The remnant of Israel.'
For the LORD has ransomed Jacob
And redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
"They will come and shout for joy on the height of Zion,
And they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD--
Over the grain and the new wine and the oil,
And over the young of the flock and the herd;
And their life will be like a watered garden,
And they will never languish again.
"Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance,
And the young men and the old, together,
For I will turn their mourning into joy
And will comfort them and give them joy for their sorrow.
"I will fill the soul of the priests with abundance,
And My people will be satisfied with My goodness," declares the LORD.Song 4:12, 16
A garden enclosed
is my sister, my spouse,
a spring shut up,
a fountain sealed.
Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread abroad.
Let my lover come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits.
Revelation 21:5-7
And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine). And He [further] said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I [Myself] will give water without price from the fountain (springs) of the water of Life.
He who is victorious shall inherit all these things, and I will be God to him and he shall be My son.
