The Messenger [Wind/Fire]

Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ... But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.' " - Matthew 11:7,9-10

He makes the winds His messengers,
Flaming fire His ministers. - Psalm 104:4


Some there came to find one shaken by the wind; they were mistaken.
John the Baptist came to waken, to prepare them for the Lord.
Prophets came to warn the nation, giving them a revelation
Of the Lord's so great salvation, coming through incarnate Word.
Jesus came to seek and save, but also with dividing sword;
Now through Him we are restored.

Messengers of wind and fire making up an angel choir
Singing with the harp and lyre praise our God with one accord.
Sweet the sounds of anthem singing to our ears the gospel bringing
All their voices ever ringing out a bright and major chord!
Prophets, angels, all together tell the coming of the Word,
Jesus Christ, the risen Lord.
