| Ajoutée par crosby3145, 31 Mar 2020 “The God of Abraham Praise” is a timeless declaration of the splendor and majesty of our Father in Heaven. It speaks of God’s omnipotence, His eternity, and His dependence. “God of Abraham” is used because the verses speak to the story of Jehovah revealing Himself to Abraham and swearing a covenant with the Father of Israel, the nation God chose to send His Son through. When God swore the covenant, He swore by Himself—which doesn’t seem like a big deal until you realize that nobody ever does that. Imagine a President taking office and swearing by his own name. That would sound funny! People always swear on something higher than themselves, like the Bible—a higher authority they must answer to that will keep their actions in check. How come God didn’t swear by anything higher than Himself? Because there is nothing higher than Himself, and that was the significance of His oath to Abraham—an oath He would certainly keep, over the coming generations! Unfortunately, “The God of Abraham Praise” has suffered from the same problem “What Wondrous Love Is This” has—a dull, uninspiring tune that doesn’t fit its wonderful message at all. In writing the music for this setting, I tried to come up with something majestic, a regal-sounding hymn that really drives home to the singer the greatness and majesty of the God this hymn is written to. Now, there is finally a tune that fits the words! I hope you enjoy! | |||
