HOLY FOREVER
Bethel Music
[Verse 1]
A thousand generations falling down in
worship
To sing the song of ages to the Lamb
And all who've gone before us and all who
will believe
Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb
[Pre-Chorus]
Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your name stands above them all
[Chorus]
And the angels cry, ho-ho-holy
All creation cries, ho-ho-holy
You are lifted high, ho-holy
Holy forever
[Verse 2]
If you've been forgiven and if you've been
redeemеd
Sing the song forever to thе Lamb
If you walk in freedom and if you bear His
name
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
Sing the song forever and amen
[Chorus]
And all the angels cry, ho-ho-holy
All creation cries, ho-ho-holy
You are lifted high, ho-holy
Holy forever
Hear your people sing, ho-ho-holy
To the King of kings, ho-ho-holy
And You will always be, ho-holy
Holy forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, 'cause Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
Above all thrones and dominions
And all powers and positions
Your name stands above them all
Oh, Jesus, Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name, oh, stands above them all
Above all thrones and dominions
And all powers and positions
Your name, oh, stands above them all
[Chorus]
And the angels cry, ho-ho-holy
All creation cries, ho-ho-holy
You are lifted high, ho-holy
Holy forever, ayy
Hear your people sing, ho-ho-holy
And to the King of kings, ho-ho-holy
And You will always be, ho-holy
Holy forever
[Outro]
You will always be, ho-holy
Holy forever
Exalt: “Holy Forever”Empower: Gen. 1:1; Matt. 6:9,10; Psalm 11:4,7,145:1,17 Exo. 20:2; 1 Cor. 3:16; 2 Cor. 5:2; Joshua 1:5,7
Kalikasan ng Diyos ang pagiging banal. His holiness meansthat He is absolutely unique in beauty and excellence; He isinfinitely pure and valuable; He is above all things. WalaSiyang katulad; Siya ang nag-iisang Diyos. Being holy, He is separated and distinct from that which is ordinary or common. Ang walang hanggang kagandahan, kadakilaan at karangalan ng Diyos ang nagsasabing Siya ay banal (walang kaparis). At dahil banal Siya, ang Kanyang mga ginagawa ay pawang katuwiran. PANGINOON, matuwid kayo sa lahat ng inyong pamamaraan, at matapat sa lahat ng inyong ginagawa. (Salmo 145:17 ASND)
Ang pagiging banal at matuwid ng Diyos ang dahilan kung bakit ang mga Israelita sa Lumang Tipan (and other nations) ay hindi makalapit sa Kanya ng tuwiran (Take note: man was separated from God because of sin); si Moises na tinawag ng Diyos (through his faith) ang naging tagapamagitan at tagapagdala ng mensahe ng Diyos sa kanila. Ang Banal na Diyos din ang gumawa ng paraan upang makapanahan Siya sa kanilang piling sa pamamagitan ng tabernakulo o templo, kung saan sila naghahandog para mahugasan ang kanilang mga kasalanan (temporarily, through the blood of animals); gayunpaman, tanging mga sacerdote o pari (Levite priests who served the tabernacle) ang maaaring pumasok sa Banal na Lugar (Holy Place); at tanging ang Pinakapunong Sacerdote (High Priest) lamang ang maaaring pumasok sa Kabanal-banalang Lugar (Holy of Holies) isang beses kada taon (during Atonement Day). Sa pagitan ng Holy Place at Holy of Holies ay isang tabing (veil, thick curtain) na napunit sa dalawa nang ang Panginoong Hesus ay namatay sa krus. Ang ibig sabihin, wala nang namamagitan (harang) upang ang tao (those who were justified through faith) ay makalapit sa Diyos.
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!” (NKJV)
Who was and is and is to come!” (NKJV)
Ang pag-ulit ng tatlong beses sa salitang “Banal” ay nangangahulugan lamang ng pinakamataas (superlative; paramount) na lebel ng pagkilala at pagsamba ng mga anghel sa ating Manlilikha at Makapangyarihang Diyos. Kung ang mga anghel ay walang humpay sa pagpupuri sa Diyos, marapat lamang na tayo na Kanyang mga nilikha at nakaranas ng biyaya at pag-ibig ng Diyos ay magpuri at sumamba din sa Kanya ng walang hanggan. Purihin ang Diyos magkapakailanman!
Elevate: Application/Suggested Question:
1. Paano nahuhubog ng konsepto ng kabanalan at katuwiran ng Diyos ang iyong pang-unawa at pamantayan sa moralidad (kung ano ang tama at mali) at layunin ng Diyos sa iyong buhay?
