Agnus Dei

First of all, I checked Nic's facebook status this morning and it said that Sarah's CT scan and MRI turned out pretty good and that she had a better evening last night.  Thank you Lord.  I will continue posting updates as I get information...thank you for praying.

I have been searching for this song on My Playlist forever.  I have been putting in all kinds of names...search words...and nothing.  So today, I head over to the K-Love website to look at songs and I find a song by the band Third Day.  I type in a search for all songs by Third Day and see the song titled Agnus Dei.  What in the world is that?  Well I listened...and as God would have it, it was the song I have been looking for!

Of course I couldn't find it...I was looking for all the wrong things!  I needed to understand what Agnus Dei meant so I went to the dictionary for help...

Agnus Dei~a Latin term meaning Lamb of God, and was originally used to refer to Jesus Christ in his role of the perfect sacrificial offering that atones for the sins of humanity in Christian theology, harkening back to ancient Jewish Temple sacrifices. The phrase "Agnus Dei" refers to several uses of this image.

The search words I had been using were...Worthy is the Lamb.  Isn't that funny?  I was using the very definition of the words, but getting nothing.  How frustrating!!!

Sometimes I think that God makes us wait to find things until He thinks we are ready.  I give Him total credit for the things that happen in my life and I know that He was either waiting on my heart to be ready to understand the concept of this song, or He was laughing at me...and chances are, He wasn't laughing at me.  He was telling me to be patient...to be still.

The words to this song are so powerful...yet so simple.

Alleluia, alleluia
For our Lord god Almighty reigns
Alleluia, alleluia
For our Lord God Almighty reigns
Holy, Holy are you Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the lamb
Worthy is the lamb
You are Holy, Holy are you Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the lamb
Worthy is the lamb
Amen

Worthy is the Lamb. In the book of Revelations, John writes in Revelation of the song that the angels were singing. They sing that Jesus is the lamb who was slain who was counted as worthy to receive many things like power, wisdom and praise. (Gospel.com) 

In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"  Revelations 5:12



Isn't that cool?  We are singing the same words that the angels sang in reference to the Son of God who would be slain for our transgressions...for our sins.  Worthy is the Lamb of our love...of our trust...of our lives.  Don't you think?  Have a blessed day all!  Happy Friday!
