Hallelujah! My heart is overflowing with praises and thanksgiving to the King this time. Since 2008, I've been praying to God about this voice in my mind that sings--it's a song being left unwritten for I do not know how to write it out eventually, with the pen and its ink using a piece of paper.
Have you ever encountered something like this? Something that, you want to write it out but words are being left unwritten because you have no idea how to express them out with your own comprehension? Something that you want to write out, but it seems that you don't possess the right words to jot down? Something that could be easily sung silently rather than being written? Something that... makes you really want to write it out, but it seems that it's stuck inside you that it cannot find its own way out? And something that can only be written out through your own Spirit that connects with God?
I went through that back in 2008. God has planted the seed of this song in my heart since before I've been desiring to make a new song to Him--to sing a new song to Him--the song which possesses the words that came straight from His own heart.I've written many songs already, some are songs that have picky words, and tunes that are not singable. Songs that can be reached by several people's voice who could reach its own pitch's range, mean to say, some of my songs were only being made possible for people who could reach the "song's" particular key and people who couldn't reach that "key" would find it very hard for them to sing with the song.
Praise God for the wisdom that flew by my ear last Wednesday night. Praise the Holy Spirit for His sweet voice that whispered through my own Spirit. Praise God for releasing the 'once unwritten song' that was in my heart and spirit before--and now, it has been written through the work of the Holy Spirit. Praise God for music!
When I wrote "Battle Cry" last time, I felt like the words just came out from the other side of my own comprehension and the words showed up on the piece of paper that I was using for about 15-30 minutes, BEFORE I WENT TO SLEEP. What really happened was, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to write out those words. I don't want to take the glory that belongs to God, I want to give Him back the glory...for the words, for the chords, for the music He has bestowed upon me that time.
I was amazed on how the words went, every single bit of them was every single thing that I wanted to speak up to youths for how many years now--every single words were being desired by the inner man in me. The words I wrote pierced through my heart and as I was writing it, God's joy was overwhelming. The fire inside was consuming every bit of me. It was amazing! God is amazing!
I got stunned by how I wrote it out. Normally, I would go for the words that would be pleasing to my own eyes and mind, but when I saw the words--the words that didn't come from my own knowledge, they were words that came from His heart. I could really remember what the Holy Spirit said when His words floated by. "Just write out what I placed in your heart for the words came from my Heart."
I was like at first, how Lord? I don't even know the words! But when I held the pen in my hand... the words were abounding with His own wisdom.
BATTLE CRY
by: Bethel Grace Pundan
We see Your grace
Falling upon in this place
We feel Your presence
As we sing Your praise
We hear Your voice
In a soft, still whisper
We turn to You
Lord take us deeper
Our spirit feels You
Our hearts needs You
Our lives thirsts for You
This is our battle cry
A cry for restoration
This is our battle cry
A cry of desperation
This is our battle cry
A cry for a new revelation
This is the battle cry
Of our generation
We see Your glory
As we stand in Your mercy
Now we are in awe
Rise up, rise up
An atmosphere of true worship, oh.
Our Spirit feels You
Our hearts needs You
Our lives thirsts for You
Lion of Judah,
We see the floodgates of heaven, open
Lion of Judah,
We see the floodgates of heaven, open
Lion of Judah,
We sing hosanna
Lift up Your banner high!
Praise be to God for the words he has breath upon this song! Blessed be His name! Next time, I'll try to upload it here with this song's "each lines interpretation".
Walk with us as we walk with God and with this "in-the-making" of "Battle Cry".
Please pray for me, for us, for this site! :)
Soli Deo Gloria! =))
