Revelation 7:9-12

“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice,

‘Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.’

All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying,

‘Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!’”

Psalm 19:1

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”

In 2013, after completing CDTS at YWAM Jeju, I joined the School of Worship (SOW).

I had served on the worship team at church before, but my desire for worship grew even stronger, and I longed to know and experience God on a deeper level.

During week 3 of SOW, in a lecture on intercessory worship, the instructor said, “At this very moment, God is giving us a new song.”

At that moment, I felt a deep stirring within me, and without realizing it, I began singing a new melody and lyrics:

“When I praise You with my voice,

You listen,

You are pleased.”

That short song became worship, and in that moment, all the false beliefs I had inside of me were broken. Though it was a simple melody, it was such a profound and powerful experience for me.

After that, God continued to speak to me about my spiritual identity. He invited me to the most intimate and secret place of worship, where He spoke to me:

“You are the one who sings of My love.

You are the one who proclaims My glory.

You are the holy bride, preparing the way for My return.”

One day, while leading a family worship time with my husband, these lyrics began to flow from me:

“I sing of Your love,

I sing of Your glory…”

In that worship, the Lord showed me a glorious scene of worship in heaven.

All the angels and all creation stood before the throne, singing of His glory, and I, too, stood and sang of His love and glory.

Then I saw that song coming from heaven, descending as the glorious light of God’s presence to the earth.

After the worship time, I reflected on the inspiration I received and began to compose the song, which became “I Sing.”

Now, I serve as a staff member in the worship ministry at YWAM Jeju. During this time of arranging and preparing the song with the team, God has been renewing the worship at YWAM Jeju and pouring out His hope for an upcoming worship revival.

This revival, fueled by His Spirit, will be a time of His glory being proclaimed among all nations and people, from glory to glory.

As the church in the last days, we hope to live as the holy bride, singing of His love, proclaiming His glory, and preparing the way for the Lord’s return.

I pray that through this song, only God’s glory will be proclaimed among all nations and all creation.
