Let Him Who Boasts

Описание: A high-energy Hard Rock anthem declaring that our boast is in the Lord alone. Drawing from Jeremiah 9:23–26 and 1 Corinthians 1:26–31, the song proclaims that Yahweh delights in lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness—and that salvation is not found in human wisdom, might, or riches. With vivid scenes from Moses at the burning bush, Hannah’s prayer, Samuel’s calling, Peter’s confession in Luke 5, and Nathanael under the fig tree (John 1), the song celebrates how God chooses the weak to display His glory. From a full preterist perspective, it proclaims that Christ fulfilled His redemptive work, the Cross holds the power, and our boast remains forever in Him.

Full Lyrics

Verse 1
Thus says Yahweh, hear Him cry—
“Let not the wise in wisdom pride,
Let not the mighty lift their name,
Let not the rich trust fleeting gain.
But let him boast in knowing Me—
In lovingkindness faithfully,
In justice strong, in righteousness—
On earth I delight in this.”
Circumcised yet hearts of stone,
Judah standing not alone,
All the nations, Israel too—
Need a heart made new.

Pre-Chorus
Not by strength and not by fame,
Not by power carved in name—
He tears the proud thing down.

Chorus
Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord!
Not in the flesh, not in the sword!
Christ became our righteousness,
Our sanctified, redeemed defense!
The power is in the Cross alone—
The Cornerstone, the risen throne!
Sons and daughters lift your voice—
In Yahweh we rejoice!

Verse 2
I was just a child, nine years old,
When mercy broke and took my soul,
He woke me up, I saw my sin—
And grace came rushing in.
Been walking steady ever since,
Through every doubt and every fence,
I’ll praise Him till He calls me home,
His Word my solid stone.
Moses fled for forty years,
Burning bush erased his fears.
Hannah wept and Samuel heard—
“Speak, Lord… your servant’s stirred.”

Pre-Chorus 2
He takes the weak, the least, the small,
To shame the wise who think they’re tall—
So none may ever boast.

Chorus
Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord!
Not in the flesh, not in the sword!
God chose what the world despised,
To silence all the self-made wise!
The power is in the Cross alone—
The finished work, the Kingdom shown!
Sons and daughters lift your voice—
In Yahweh we rejoice!

Bridge (Half-time, heavy groove)
Simon fished all through the night—
Empty nets by morning light.
“At Your word…” the nets tore wide—
Boats began to sink beside.
Peter fell down to his knees—
“Go away… I’m unclean!”
But Jesus said, “Do not fear,
From now on, you’ll draw men near.”
Nathanael beneath the tree—
“How do You know such things of me?”
“Heavens opened—you will see,
Angels move upon Me.”
He asked him plain, “Who am I?”
Son of God—the King Most High!

Final Chorus (Big, layered vocals)
Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord!
Not in the flesh, not in the sword!
No adversary holds us bound—
The victory’s already found!
Christ our wisdom from above,
Justice, righteousness, and love!
We are saved His name to raise—
So give Him all the praise!

Outro (Strong, driving finish)
Not by might—
Not by fame—
But by knowing Yahweh’s name!
Let him who boasts—
Boast in the Lord!
(Instrumental hit and sustained final chord)
