Angels (Glory To God) - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
As we listen to the song "Angels (Glory To God)" by Phil Wickham, we are transported to the plains of Bethlehem, where angels announced the birth of our Savior. The lyrics echo the joyous proclamation found in Luke 2:14, "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." This verse, like the song, is a celebration of God's glory and His love for us, demonstrated through the gift of His son, Jesus Christ.
The song's verses and choruses are a beautiful retelling of the Christmas story, reminding us of the shepherds' awe and the angels' jubilant song. The lyrics, "Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing," invite us to join in this historical moment, to witness the birth of our Savior. This mirrors the invitation found in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Both the song and the scripture invite us to come and experience the love and peace that only Jesus can provide.
The bridge of the song, "Glory to God, glory to God, Glory to God in the highest forever, For all He has done, His unfailing love, Glory to God in the highest forever," is a powerful declaration of God's glory and unfailing love. It resonates with Psalm 136:26, "Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever." Both the song and the scripture remind us of God's eternal love and His worthiness of our praise.
As we reflect on the song and these scriptures, we are reminded of the incredible love God has for us, demonstrated through the birth of His son. We are invited to join the angels in their joyous song, giving glory to God for His unfailing love.
Now, let's take a moment to reflect: How can we, like the angels and shepherds, share the joyous news of Jesus' birth in our daily lives? How can we continually give glory to God for His unfailing love? As we ponder these questions, let's strive to live our lives as a reflection of the joyous song sung on that holy night in Bethlehem, continually giving glory to God in the highest.
