What’s your all-time favorite album?
In the world of music, certain albums have the extraordinary ability to touch our hearts and lift our spirits to new heights. For me, one such album is “Lift Him Up” by Ron Kenoly. It is not merely a collection of songs; it is a divine experience, a journey through melodies and lyrics anointed by God. Beyond the titular track, this album features songs that resonate deeply with the Word of God. Let’s explore the profound impact of these anointed songs through the lens of scripture.
Psalm 33:3 (KJV) – “Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.”
In “Lift Him Up,” Ron Kenoly skillfully leads us in singing new songs unto the Lord, echoing the Psalmist’s call. Each note and word are carefully crafted to ignite our worship and stir our hearts.
Psalm 149:3 (KJV) – “Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.”
The song “He’s Turned My Mourning Into Dancing” reflects the joyous transformation we experience in Christ. It encourages us to praise God not just with our voices but also with joyful dance, as the psalmist exhorts.
Matthew 6:9 (KJV) – “After this manner, therefore, pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.”
“Hallowed Be Thy Name” resonates with the Lord’s Prayer, reminding us to revere and hallow God’s holy name. Through this song, we elevate God’s name in our worship, acknowledging His sacredness.
Daniel 7:9 (KJV) – “I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.”
“Ancient of Days” paints a vivid picture of the awe-inspiring vision from the book of Daniel. It leads us to contemplate the eternal sovereignty of our God, the Ancient of Days.
Exodus 30:25 (KJV) – “And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be a holy anointing oil.”
“Anointing Fall on Me” expresses our deep desire for God’s anointing in our lives. Just as the anointing oil signifies consecration and empowerment, this song invites us to seek God’s touch in all we do – The presence, operations and moves of the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 95:6 (KJV) – “O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord, our maker.”
“Worship the Lord” is an anthem that calls us to humble adoration and surrender before our Maker. It embodies the psalmist’s invitation to bow down in reverence and joy.
What is my all-time favourite album? Without a doubt, it’s “Lift Him Up” by Ron Kenoly. Each song in this album is a divine gift, meticulously crafted to lead us in new songs of worship, joyous dance, hallowed praise, awe at the Ancient of Days, a longing for His anointing, and humble worship before our Maker. This album is more than music; it’s a spiritual journey, a profound encounter with the Divine. May “Lift Him Up” continue to minister to our souls, igniting our love and devotion to the God whose name we lift high in praise and adoration.
