If you simply read the lyrics of the song you'd find that at least 50% of the words are "Amen." Over and over again.
You see "Amen" is one of those words that very few people even know the meaning of. Because I'm a dork and love a good word study, I know that "Amen" in both Hebrew (OT language) and Greek (NT language) means "so be it" or "let it be so."
'amen - אָמֵן verily, truly, amen, so be it, let it be so
Now for those of you who know us well, you know that we are in an extended season that could easily be marked by the words "Let it be so."
And I'd venture to guess that a number of you reading are also in a similar season.
It's certainly not an easy season...but because God is a trustworthy God, I love that I can rest in the simple word "Amen" and pray that my soul would find comfort in the sovereignty of God Almighty.
My prayer today is that you can rest in that truth as well.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
"Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, 'Amen!'"
- Psalm 106:48
