In 1988, Jennie, the writer of Revelation Song," gave her life to Jesus.  There was a new song out at the time, "I Hear Angels" by Garrit Gustafson.  The lyrics said:

"I hear angels singing praises.  I see men from every nation, bowing down before the throne...like the sound of many waters...like the rushing wind around us...multitudes.  Join the song...and a symphony of praise arises...tears are wiped away from the eyes as men, from every tongue and tribe, all sing...Holy, holy...God Almighty...who was, and is, and is to come..."

Jennie said that song stayed in her heart, and she would sing it as a lullaby for each of her children.  In 1999, she began singing the lullaby for her fourth son, Andrew.  Her keyboard was broken down, and it had been a particularly tough "mommy" day.  A spaghetti dinner was waiting to be cooked, but Jennie sensed the Holy Spirit.  She began to pray about a long felt desire to see and hear all creation worshipping the Him, and asked the Lord to help her write a song that painted that scene.

Putting the baby down to play with his toys, she picked up the guitar, and began to play four chords.  Immersed in the scriptures of Exekiel 1:26-28 and Revelation 4, the Lord helped her to paint what she was seeing through those passages.

Clothed in rainbows of living color

Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder

Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be

To You, the only wise King

The melody stuck.  The song wouldn't leave her, and she sang it for weeks.  Jennie introduced 'Revelation Song" one Sunday to her local church.  With joy, she watched the Father "grow it up" later with several different renditions springing up by various artists, colleges, and churches.  Kari Jobe released the song with a new musical bridge that Jennie liked.  The rest of the words are:

Worthy is the

Lamb who was slain

Holy, holy, is He

Sing a new song

to Him, who sits on

Heaven's mercy seat

Holy, holy, holy

Is the Lord God Almighty

Who was, and is, and is to come

With all creation I sing

Praise to the King of Kings

You are my everything

And I will adore you.

Filled with wonder

Awestruck wonder

At the mention of Your Name

Jesus, Your name is power

Breath, and living water 

Such a marvelous mystery

Oh, You're worthy, mystery (Mystery)

You are (You are)

Are worthy, yes
