Songs of the Lord (1996)

This 1996 series explores the great “songs of the Lord” found throughout Scripture—songs of triumph, of faith, of deliverance, and of hope. Brother Harry Tennant shows how these inspired songs, whether sung on the shores of the Red Sea, in the days of Deborah, or in the visions of Revelation, are more than ancient poetry: they are testimonies of God’s saving power and previews of the final chorus of praise that will fill the kingdom. Listeners are encouraged to make these songs their own, learning to sing of God’s victory even in times of trial, and to look forward with joy to the day when all nations shall sing together in Zion.

Song of the Sea

The series begins with the celebration after Israel’s deliverance at the Red Sea. Brother Tennant explains how God turned what seemed a trap into triumph, and how the song of Moses became a lasting testimony that the Lord saves completely. This study invites us to see our own baptisms as crossings into freedom, where all sins are left behind.

Song of Deborah

This class turns to the days of the Judges and the powerful song of Deborah. Brother Tennant highlights how Deborah and Barak sang of God’s victory over Sisera, and how their song called God’s people to courage and willing service. The study reminds us that the Lord still calls for hearts that are willing to stand with Him in times of trial.

Song of the City

Here the focus shifts to Psalm 46, a psalm of confidence in God as refuge and strength. Brother Tennant shows how this “song of the city” affirms that even when nations rage and the earth trembles, God is in the midst of His people. It is a reminder that true security is found not in walls or armies but in the presence of the Lord.

Song of Salvation

This lecture explores Isaiah 26 and its vision of a strong city built by God. Brother Tennant emphasizes how the song looks forward to the day when death will be swallowed up in victory and God will wipe away every tear. It is a call to confidence in God’s unshakable purpose and His promise of eternal joy for the redeemed.

The New Song

Here the study turns to the “new song” celebrated in the psalms and Revelation. Brother Tennant explains how this song flows out of forgiveness, renewal, and salvation, inviting believers to rejoice as those already caught up in God’s victory. The new song is one of praise that looks forward to the kingdom, when the redeemed will sing with unclouded joy.

The Song of Moses and the Lamb

The series concludes with Revelation 15, where the redeemed sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Brother Tennant draws together the earlier studies, showing how all of Scripture’s songs find their fulfillment in this final chorus of praise. It is a vision of the nations worshiping before God, celebrating His justice, holiness, and salvation made manifest in Christ.
