If ever there was a song that was perfect for starting the New Year, Let the Church Say Amen is a strong candidate. The first time I heard this song, the tears flowed freely as it felt like I was enveloped in the presence of His Majesty. I was struck by the profound simplicity of its message which was centered around Nehemiah 8:6, "And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands; and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground." When God speaks, whether it be to give instructions, directions, correction, encouragement, or whatever else, our singular response must be "Amen". No debate, no discussion, no excuse.
Sung by Marvin Winans on Andrae Crouch's CD, Journey, I hope it blesses you as much as it did me.
