Always a blessing to hear the story behind this song. Talking about the Gospel and the Hope that we have in Jesus. Matthew 16:18 always comes to mind when I hear this song “On this rock I will build my Church. And the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” The Gospel Cannot and will not be silenced!

May God richly bless you. I will pray for you and brethren here. You are Bible blessed in genuine praise. Jesus sang praises with His disciples at His last supper on earth before He was crucified. Mark 14:26; Matthew 26:30 and Psalms 113-118. Subscribed. There is a crown in Heaven awaiting all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ that gives birth to a soul saved. ( "THE GOSPEL SAVES" below) .1 Thessalonians 2:19; Philippians 4:1. Are we ready to meet our Lord in the air ? John 14:1-3; Titus chapter 2:verses 11-14; Rev. 3:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:9. Another crown awaits us 1 Peter 5:4 . This praise resounds across the earth in gentle movements, lighting the skies, dark clouds cover, adding to the glory of God, the light of His truth awakens. "Jesus is Lord and only He saves". 2 Samuel chapter 22: Verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name." There is no greater praise than the blessed truth of God's word of the glory of God. BELIEVE "THE GOSPEL SAVES" God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark chapter 16: Verse 15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans 10:17 "Then faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God." Isaiah chapter 7: verse 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew 28: 6 Isaiah chapter 53: verse 5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3: 23 " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6: 23 " Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John 14.6 "1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER! "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2: 2 Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21. " In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians 1: 7 Matthew 26: 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life) "And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews 9:22 BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast. Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in the shedding of His blood and His death as payment for our sins, as well as in His resurrection from the dead on the third day, and we will be saved! WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH Romans 10: 9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes in righteousness; And a confession by mouth is given for salvation. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3: 16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation 21: 8. THE SURE "PEACE" IN JESUS CHRIST Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ”Romans 5:1
Praise the Lord for this great and uplifting song which reminds everyone of the Sovereign Power and Love of Jesus Christ, our Lord! God bless you all! Best wishes from Tampere, Finland.
To Reflect... If God created Us and let people live according to their own will (Free Will), And the desires of the Hearts, Or just by FAITH, THEN For whom he left the Holy Bible written as Laws and Commandments in the New Testament, TEACHING what's right and what's wrong, what's do, And what's not to do in life??? God says in Hebrews 12:14, That "Without HOLINESS no one will see God or be saved..." So how to get Holiness??? " Just obeying everything that God left written as LAWS and COMMANDMENTS in the Holy Bible in the New Testament, For the Laws and commandments are the sanctification of body, soul and spirit. And not only live by Faith. For Faith without ACTION is a dead thing ... James 2:14 Through this truth of the Holy Bible we can know that life is to be lived according to God's will, And not according to our own will... in the end; If it were to live according to our will, God would not have left the commandments in the new testament to us obey, that is the new covenant......
