"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)

'Fighting With My Demons' by Joe Nester: Encapsulating the Resilient Battle of Faith

Fighting With My Demons' by Joe Nester is a powerful Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) song that confronts a universal and challenging issue — the battle with inner demons. Nestled within the soothing melody and catchy rhythm are impactful lyrics conveying despair, struggle, and ultimate redemption. As the song begins, 'All my life, I’ve been battling with my demons,' listeners are instantly embraced with understanding, compassion, and know they are not alone in their struggles. The profound lyrics echo the pain of life's battles and the weariness they create, yet they’re also filled with hope. We are reminded that even while we are lost and conflicted, God's presence becomes our refuge. As we heed the voice of Nester, immersed in sincerity and conviction, the lyrics resonate, 'So fill me with your fire. Until I feel it burning bright and all the darkness turns to light.' It is a plaintive cry for God's sanctifying fire — His divine intervention to ov...

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...
