Revelation Song (Live)

Greetings LoveMusic! listeners!
There have been many worship leaders who have now done Revelation Song. I really didn't know the history of the song, so I looked it up (see below.) I found out it was written by Jennie Lee Riddle before 2009. At that time it was recorded by a group from Christ For The Nations. Soon after Kari Jobe, Phillips, Craig and Dean, Don Moen and others included it on their albums.
Whenever I hear the song my spirit soars. If ever there is a song declaring, proclaiming, worship the Living God, this is one of them.
Worship the Living God of Israel! He alone is to be praised and glorified!
Ahava and shalom,
