Sometime ago, I delivered a message to an organic missional church entitled Living in the Divine Parenthesis. The evening before I delivered the message, I wrote a song as a companion to the message called “He Has Anointed Us.”
I wrote it to the tune of Wavin’ Flag by K’naan.
Another organic missional church I relate to took the lyrics and recorded the song in a studio.
The lyrics are below so you can read them while you listen to the recording. The talk I delivered (above) gives the context and meaning of each line.
Give it a listen and tell me what you think . . .

Lyrics to He Has Anointed Us (Luke 4:18-21)
[All]
We are His body
Serving His lost world
They will see Jesus
He has anointed us
[A Brother Sings]
He is alive
World is revived
Lord over all
God’s future now
[A Sister Sings]
He is our home
We’ll make Him known
[A Brother Sings]
We’re on His throne
Glory is shown
[A Sister Sings]
Out of the darkness
Free from the carnage
Bearing the good news of Jes-u-s
[A Brother Sings]
Sin on the streets
Lost broken dreams
He is their Hope
True Prince of Peace
[All]
So we’re reaching out
[A Brother Sings]
Giving His love
[All]
And we’re pressing on
[A Brother Sings]
Because we are free
[A Sister Sings]
We will not wait
For some future day
It’s too far away
So right now we say
[All – Chorus]
We are His body
Serving His lost world
They will see Jesus
He has anointed us
For He’s the true King
For He’s the true King
For He’s the true King
Woh oh oh
[A Sister Sings]
Jesus has risen
A new creation
[A Brother Sings]
Spirit is in us
We are forgiven
[A Sister Sings]
We boldly say
Love is the way
[A Brother Sings]
Christ is the answer
That’s what we say
[A Sister Sings]
But we’re not just dreamers
Nor clever schemers
[A Brother Sings]
His hand has reached us
Mended our weakness
[A Sister Sings]
He lives within
Doing His will
Jubilee now
Showing us how
[All]
So we’re reaching out
[A Brother Sings]
Giving His love
[All]
And we’re pressing on
[A Brother Sings]
Because we are free
[A Sister Sings]
We will not wait
For some future day
It’s too far away
So right now we say
[All – Chorus]
We are His body
Serving His lost world
They will see Jesus
He has anointed us
For He’s the true King
For He’s the true King
For He’s the true King
Woh oh oh
[All – Chorus]
We are His body
Serving His lost world
They will see Jesus
He has anointed us
True Lord of the world
True Lord of the world
True Lord of the world
Woh oh oh
