Song Study 13: Let the Weak Say I am Strong

        Song Study (13) LET THE WEAK SAY I AM STRONG 

          (WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE IN ME)

Reuben Morgan

     What The Lord Has Done In Me - Hillsong Worship - YouTube

                                                                 

Let the weak say I am strong

Let the poor say I am rich,

Let the blind say I can see,

It’s what the Lord has done in me.

(Repeat)

 Hosanna, hosanna

To the Lamb that was slain;

Hosanna, hosanna,

Jesus died and rose again.

(Jesus died and rose again.

Jesus died and rose again.) Third verse only

Into the river I will wade,

There my sins are washed away;

From the heavens mercy streams

Of the Saviour’s love for me. Hosanna etc

I will rise from waters deep

Into the saving arms of God;

I will sing salvation songs:

Jesus Christ has set me free. Hosanna etc

This is one of those songs which most Christians seem to know. It contains no really difficult words (other than, perhaps, Hosanna!)

Questions

1. Verse 1. The Scriptural background can be found in numerous places. See Joel 3:10, Isaiah 42:6-7, 61:1 and Matthew 11:2-6.
2. What has the Lord done in these people? See Galatians 3:26-29.
3. Chorus. We all know the word Hosanna from the account of Jesus entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. See Matthew 21:9-15. See also John 1:29, Revelation 5:11-12 and 7:9-10.
4. “Jesus died and rose again” is the central teaching of the New Testament. See 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Luke 24:45-49 and 1 Thessalonians 4:14.
5. Verse 2. What river? See Matthew 3:5-6, Ezekiel 47:1-7 and Revelation 22:1-3.
6. There is also more than a hint of baptism here: See Romans 6:3-4, 1 Peter 3:18-22, Hebrews 10:22 and 1 Corinthians 6:11.
7. Verse 2. This time the river is deep. It sounds like death, as described by John Bunyan in Pilgrim’s progress or in the hymn “Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah”. Where does this idea come from in Scripture? See Psalm 69:14-15 and 18:16.
8. What is a “salvation song”? See Revelation 5:9-10, 7:10, 14:1-3, 15:1-4 and 19:1-2.    https://johnsbluemountainsblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/links-to-all-blog-entries-and-relevant.html All Blue Mountains blogs and videos
