Delight in This

Описание: “Delight in This” is a roots reggae declaration drawn from Jeremiah 9:23–26 and 1 Corinthians 1:26–31. The song proclaims that wisdom, strength, and riches are not our boast—knowing Yahweh is. Through steady island rhythm and testimony, the lyrics reflect on being called at nine years old, the faithfulness of God through good days and bad, and biblical moments where the Lord chose the weak—Moses in exile, Hannah’s prayer, Peter’s broken confession, and Nathanael beneath the fig tree. From a full preterist perspective, the Cross finished the work, the adversary no longer binds, and believers now live in confident joy to glorify God. The refrain echoes Yahweh’s words: “In these I delight.”

Full Lyrics

Intro (Soft groove, light percussion)
Ohhh… yeah…
Not in wisdom… not in might…
Yahweh say… delight in this…

Verse 1
Thus says Yahweh, hear the sound,
Let no man lift his wisdom crown.
Let not the mighty boast in might,
Let not the rich trust gold so bright.
“But let him who boasts boast in this—
That he understands and knows Me,” yes—
Lovingkindness on the earth,
Justice and righteousness my worth.
He said, “In these things I delight,”
Not empty show, but hearts made right.
Circumcised but hearts unclean,
He came to change what law had seen.

Chorus
Delight in this, delight in Him,
The Holy One who conquered sin.
Christ our wisdom, righteousness,
Our sanctified and redeemed defense.
The Cross declare it—It is done!
The Kingdom stands in God’s own Son.
Through good days and the hard ones too,
My boast, my joy is You.

Verse 2 (Testimony tone)
I was nine when You called my name,
Conviction fell like gentle rain.
Saw my sin so plain that night,
But mercy shone so bright.
Life not easy, hills and bends,
But You’ve been faithful through thick and thin.
Still praising, still reading Word,
Still trusting every promise heard.
Moses wandered forty years,
Desert dust and hidden tears.
Burning bush begin the plan—
Weak made strong in Yahweh’s hand.
Hannah cried, then gave her son,
“Speak Lord,” little Samuel run.
God choose small to shame the tall,
So no flesh boast at all.

Chorus
Delight in this, delight in Him,
The faithful Lord from age to age within.
Not many mighty, not many wise,
But grace open blinded eyes.
No adversary hold me bound,
Victory already found.
Through good days and the hard ones too,
My boast, my joy is You.

Verse 3 (Storytelling groove)
Peter fished the whole night long,
Empty nets, tired and worn.
Jesus say, “Cast again,”
Though it seem like loss, my friend.
“At Your word,” the net go down,
Fish surround and boats near drown.
Peter fall at Jesus’ knees,
“Go away, Lord, I’m unclean.”
But he see more than fish that day,
He see the Word in flesh display.
“Who do you say that I Am?”
The Christ, the great I AM.
Nathanael under fig tree shade,
“Before you came, I saw,” He said.
“Rabbi, Son of God, my King!”
Heaven open—glory sing.

Bridge (Breakdown, soft drums & bass)
Egypt, Judah, nation wide,
He judge the heart, not just outside.
He finish what the prophets spoke,
And break the heavy yoke.
Saved to glorify His name,
Not for pride and not for fame.
Sons and daughters lift Him high,
King forever, Lord Most High.

Final Chorus (Lifted, layered harmonies)
Delight in this, delight in Him,
The One who cleanse the heart within.
Steadfast love and justice reign,
Righteousness forever plain.
The Cross still stand, the work complete,
All things placed beneath His feet.
Through good days and the hard ones too,
My boast, my joy is You.
Yes… my boast, my joy is You.
