I always wondered about the biblical reference for that line in "Honor to the Dying Lamb"

King Jesus lit the candle by the waterside
To see the little children little chlidren baptised
Honor honor unto the dying lamb

 ?/?
Where in the Bible was that? or was this another song that was an Underground Railroad code?

While I'm still learning more about the Bible, I haven't heard of anything like that at all.

Let me ask you all this...

Do you all think those writing the lyrics to gospel/christian songs should be more responsible in their writing, making sure the lyrics are biblically sound? Singing is a form of ministry, and when there are people preaching and what they are preaching doesn't line up to God's word, we call them false teachers or their message off(??) in a way, so couldn't the same be applied in a way to a song that's the same way?

Absolutely. One may understand what the preacher/singer is trying to say, but if the Bible (our FINAL authority) doesn't say it that way, then neither should the preacher/singer, IMHO.
Despite our communication technology, no invention is as effective as the sound of the human voice.

I'd have to stop dancing when it came to that part! Then after awhile, I just said the heck with it, I can't listen to it anymore. You'd be surprised how many people didn't care (and still don't) about the nonsense of this song.  :x

I'm years late on this post, but it was so funny, I just couldn't stop reading these posts.

Hosanna defined:

a cry of praise or adoration (to God)

From Hebrew, its basic meaning is "to save." It functions as a plea to God our king to have mercy on us and save us from our lost condition.

We do have to be really careful about the songs we choose.

I know Peach is going to shoot me, but....

Diane:  Abraham had a son
Choir:   Work it out!
Diane:   Isaac was the only one
Choir:   Work it out!

Umm... Isaac wasn't the only one.  What about Ishmael?  In her defense, maybe she disregarded him on purpose, though, because he wasn't THE PROMISED son.


I ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THAT!!!!  THANK YOU <CLAPPING>

Actually Genesis 22:2 says:

And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Yeah, RJ is correct. It meant Issac was his only son at the time.

How was he his only son at the time?  Ishmael was still alive and well.  I know the scripture, as well.  I just can't understand how Isaac was considered the only one.

Maybe she meant "Isaac was the only one" as in he wasn't a twin or something.

Ishmael was considered Abraham's seed. He was considered Hagar's son...
In a distant way, it would be vaguely like an adoption, Abraham was the biological father, yet God "adopted" him, and took care of him. God permitted Abraham to banish Ishmael.

Gen. 21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.


Isaac was considered Abraham's son:

Genesis 22:2 says:

And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

It was all in God's will. If God called Isaac, Abraham's only son, then that's who he was.

A somewhat similar situation happened with Jacob and Esau... Jacob obtained the birthright, while Esau was somewhat disowned. Both situations would be considered wrong by modern society's standards, But it was all God's will. In the end, Isaac was Abraham's only son at the time. Although he had other seed, he had one son at the time.

Not a song but I heard a quartet singer say in one of his songs.....

"When I get to heaven, I'm gonna tell the Lord how y'all treated me down here"

I've heard that more than once. I can't stand it!

"What's to come (is better than what's been)" by some people affiliated with Donald Lawrence (forgot their name). But I guess that's technically not a "gospel" song, though...


Better by The Murrills

Donald Lawrence Presents The Murrills


Why do you think it has no meaning?
