Prophesy and smooth flowing rap combine to bring God's word to you in a PERSONAL way...
I am a songwriter dedicated to spreading the good news about the love and mercy of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Story behind the song
I wrote the chorus of this song, based on a prophesy by Isaiah, MANY years ago but was never able to complete it. Recently, I had been listening to a lot of hip-hop and was moved to set my feelings and experience to a smooth flow.
Lyrics
"The Arm of The Lord" - By Hank Stansfield
(words include Isaiah 53:1-2a from the NIV Bible)
I drank the pleasures of life, yet I was always dry
Just like a sick man with sorrow waiting at my door
Yeah, I was wounded and unaware of my condition
I needed something more
Because I had been told but I did not see and what I heard I did not understand
It was the message of a Man Who came to die and then to rise
Who has believed our message? (Who has believed, who has believed?)
And to whom has the Arm of The Lord been revealed? (A strong arm to hold who has believed)
He grew up before him like a tender shoot and like a root out of dry ground
The Arm of The Lord has been revealed
Come and hear a message from The Lord,
Who will save you, Whose arm is strong
Come and hear the message of salvation
Before He comes to shut the mouths of kings and rule the nations
While there is time you can still believe, while there is breath in your lungs while your heart still beats
You can accept The Lord, you can believe His Word, I can say “who” you can say “me”, I can say “who”
While there is time you can still believe, while there is breath in your lungs while your heart still beats
You can accept The Lord, you can believe His Word, you can say “who” I can say “me”, you can say “who”
He was despised and rejected my men, a man of sorrows
And familiar with suffering
He was despised and He was not esteemed,
He was stricken, afflicted and crushed for our iniquities
Who has believed our message I say, not speaking as much for myself as for The Way,
The Truth, The Life, The Holy Light
Who has believed our message? (Who has believed, who has believed?)
And to whom has the Arm of The Lord been revealed? (A strong arm to hold who has believed)
He grew up before him like a tender shoot and like a root out of dry ground
The Arm of The Lord has been revealed (Who has believed, who has believed?)
The Arm of The Lord has been revealed (Who has believed?)
The Arm of The Lord
