Music reviews of The Watchman
Music Review: The Watchman -- Deliverance is in the House!
Rating: 5 Stars
I LOVE THE WATCHMAN! AS ALWAYS, LISTENING TO THE WATCHMAN, I AM SWEPT INTO A RHAPSODY OF WORSHIP, REJOICING IN THE PRESENCE AND POWER OF YESHUA HA MESHIACH AND AM SATURATED WITH JOYFUL ANTICIPATION THAT MAKES ME WANT TO LIGHT OFF MY CAMEL AND RUN TO MEET MY LORD, AND ALL THE REST THAT FOLLOWS!
The narrative to the title song is read against an underlying musical score that pulses with ancient rhythms, almost an urgent marching beat, a call to arms:
"Behind the veil of what is seen by the natural eye, a great event is being prepared: a war and a wedding feast will have their place in time. 'Soon,' and 'Not yet,' is the word that the watchman gives as he strains his eyes through the darkness of the night mist. He can sense that just beyond the horizon a great brightness is preparing to break forth. 'Arise you sleepers!' 'Shake off your slumber!' he calls. 'Come, and fill your lamp with fresh oil.' 'Trim your wick.' 'Cry out in the streets and do not let your voice be silent!' 'For the coming of the Great King is at hand.' 'Arise and shine for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. Only wait for the Lord. Be strong, and of a good courage, and wait for the Lord'."
Then, the refrain of the song itself is jubilant, and filled with expectation of Yahweh's promises fulfilled, "If we lift up our voices and call on the Lord He will come. And the nations will see that salvation comes from Zion. O no more waiting the anointing of God has begun. O blind eyes will see as the captives go free. If we lift up our voices, He'll come."
The entire collection is powerful. "Shema," based on Deuteronomy 6 (Israel's "declaration of independence") declares "The Lord our God the Lord is One..." I can scarcely listen to "Holy Holy Holy" or "Worthy" without praying and praising, with tears of rejoicing in our Sovereign God, who holds the events of human history on the grand scale, and in our lives each day, in His hands, and His hands alone. Several of the songs impel dancing unto the Lord, with joy of course, by which we are strengthened.
Listening to this music reminded me how much I have missed Messianic music in general: in immersing myself in it again, I am encompassed anew by the power and passion of what it means to be seed of Abraham, both bearer and beneficiary of a most sacred covenant of El Elyon, The Most High God, who knew me before I was formed in the secret place.
My present circumstances allow me to immerse myself in spiritual music around the clock, including when I am working and sleeping, and I have found that this music, as well as that on SING UNTO THE LORD: The Psalms of David for Daily Living, are helping me to dwell in the presence of the Lord, wherein is fullness of joy... and pleasures for evermore.
Hallelujah! I am so glad I bought this CD!
Description of The Watchman
?I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.? Ezekiel 3:17 From the beginning call of the shofar (Lord God Of Abraham) to the sounds of joyful praise (Adonai, O Shout For Joy, Baruch Adonai El Shaddai) to the deep sounds of intimate worship (Shema, Holy Holy Holy, Worthy), The Watchman with worship artist, Paul Wilbur, is an important album for a time such as this. Recorded live at Pastor John Hagee?s Cornerstone church in San Antonio, this album will bring the listener into a new place of worship as the participants celebrate God?s call of preparation for the days ahead. ?This album is a word from heaven.?
