"Reign With the Risen Saviour" by Whispering Hope: The Joy of Reigning as Royal Priests With Christ


Have you ever wondered what the "ultimate victory over suffering" will look like for faithful believers? "Reign With the Risen Saviour" by Whispering HOPE answers that question, and their answer is based on Revelation 20:4–6's vision of the first resurrection. 

whispering HOPE - Reign With the Risen SaviourThe book of Revelations is filled with vivid scenes, and the scene set in chapter 20, verse 4–6 takes us to a moment before the final day, where the thrones are set, and those who suffered for Christ (read: those who "would not bow to lies" and held fast to His Name) are raised to reign alongside Him. In other words, the martyrs and His faithful witnesses aren't forgotten… their loyalty is fully vindicated. They are crowned as priests and (here it comes…) there is a thousand years of peace!! Can you imagine that? Look at the world around us and then try to picture full peace! 

The chorus gives us a sense of the joy that will come with this victory: "Reign with the risen Saviour // Every tribe and every tongue." It's a call to unite in and with Christ instead of focusing on our differences! It emphasizes Christ's eternal reign over fleeting earthly powers. 

Yes, the timing of this scene is coming near! We may look forward to His second coming, and together with that, a thousand years of mercy, where "no chain upon their song" binds the faithful. 

Instead of dwelling on our earthly struggles, the song encourages us to focus on this upcoming eternal triumph. May you take time to listen somewhere this week. May the lyrics of the song remind you of your future as a royal priest reigning with Christ. This song shares a vision that is worth holding on to because it is a reminder that every act of courage echoes on into eternity.

(Related scripture: Revelation 20:4-6; 1 Corinthians 15:20)

"Back to Life" by James Bizak: Power in the Name of Jesus With Pop Punk Sound

"Back to Life" by James Bizak is a raw, high-energy pop punk track with a bold Christian truth… Whenever we are feeling broken or lost, we will find hope and redemption in Jesus. The choice of this genre is intended to reach a wider audience, as well as more youth, right where they are—possibly feeling broken, abandoned, or even feeling dead inside.  The lyrics reflect a pain and emptiness that so many people are feeling: "I've been broken // Beaten down // My faith stolen." The song acknowledges our feelings of despair, and even more important, it points us to hope, "There's power in your blood // There's power in the name of Jesus."
