When you think about songs which praise Jesus and which share the good news of why He came, you have to think of the Hallelujah Chorus! Written 250 years ago, according to Wiki, Handels Messiah has been described by the early-music scholar Richard Luckett as a commentary on [Jesus Christs] Nativity, Passion, Resurrection and Ascension, beginning with Gods promises as spoken by the prophets and ending with Christs glorification in heaven. The music for Messiah was completed in 24 days and at the end of his manuscript Handel wrote the letters SDG—Soli Deo Gloria, To God alone the glory. This inscription, taken with the speed of composition, has encouraged belief in the apocryphal story that Handel wrote the music in a fervour of divine inspiration in which, as he wrote the Hallelujah chorus, he saw all heaven before him. It is truly an amazing song and reminds us; Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords and He shall reign forever and ever! Hallelujah!!!
