Story behind the song
This song was composed on July 4, 2025. My wife and I were at a Bible Study with a missionary to Liberia, who was teaching on the Book of Isaiah, chapters 40-49. My attention was fixated on Isaiah 44:21-28, as it seemed like a good message for a song. After the fireworks we returned home and I composed the music, finishing right a midnight. While we were celebrating the 249th anniversary of our countrys gaining freedom from Great Britain, which required a four-year war to secure, the text of the song is about the spiritual freedom that has been gained as a result of Christs victory over Satan, through His death and resurrection.
Lyrics
21"Remember these, O Jacob, and Israel, for you are My servant; I have formed you, you are My servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me!
22I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you."
23Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing, you mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and glorified Himself in Israel.
24Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb: "I am the Lord, who makes all things, who stretches out the heavens all alone, who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;
25who frustrates the signs of the babblers, and drives diviners mad; who turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolishness;
26who confirms the word of His servant, and performs the counsel of His messengers; who says to Jerusalem, 'You shall be inhabited,' to the cities of Judah, 'You shall be built,' and I will raise up her waste places;
27who says to the deep, 'Be dry! And I will dry up your rivers';
28who says of Cyrus, 'He is My shepherd, and he shall perform all My pleasure, saying to Jerusalem, "You shall be built," and to the temple, "your foundation shall be laid." '
