The Song of the Lord is a spontaneous, prophetic utterance in song, whose composition is attributed to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is often released as part of a corporate expression of prophetic worship or spontaneous worship. “The song of the Lord is a spiritual song directed primarily to God’s people as the singer becomes a channel for the Lord to convey a message in song.” - Dr. David K. Blomgren in “The Song of the Lord.” In “The Song of the Lord,” Dr. David K. Blomgren describes the Song of the Lord in the following ways: The form of a Song of the Lord can be: a spontaneous melody, or non-melodic using chordal intervals. It can be rhythmic or non-rhythmic. The style of the song is not the essential element, but rather the message is the significant factor. The Song of the lord is often: a prophetic song which may warn, instruct in the Spirit, or even sometimes give direction to the local body of Christ… It may even include the sense sometimes of foretelling. Many times the Song of the Lord serves to lift our spirits unto God and encourages us in Him. The Song of the Lord comes to exhort us in the area that God would have us to be stirred. It may be in specific areas of our Christian walk or response to Him in worship. The Song of the Lord also serves to bring comfort to those that are bereaved or in times of great troubling in their lives.
