STORY
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this."
—Isaiah 9:6-7 (NIV)
“Can You Hear The Sound” is a song begging for the believer to pay attention. In a world that is built on busyness and distraction, this song invites the listener to pay attention to the redemptive work Christ has done, is doing, and has promised to complete. Written from Isaiah Chapter 9, the song walks us through the birth of the promised Messiah, to the reality of His presence with us now through the Holy Spirit, to His return when He will finish the redemptive work.
“Can You Hear The Sound” is a song of hope for anyone who will believe. As hopeless as your circumstances may appear, redemption is singing underneath it all. The King is coming, and “of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end”! So, sit up! Pay attention! Stay alert! For no one knows the day or hour of His return, but we can take comfort and find joy in the reality that He will finish the work of redemption He has begun.
—David Matthews
