Jon Thurlow: Sons of Men  

Posted by Jeff in , ,

One of my favorite things about IHOP-KC is the emphasis on meditating on the glory of Jesus - His deity, His humanity, His personality, His work, His words, and His plan to come back to the earth.  When this teaching is combined with a 24 hour prayer room and a bunch of talented worship leaders and song writers, some glorious songs get created.

My favorite song at the moment is a meditation on the glory of Jesus called "Sons of Men" by Jon Thurlow.  You can download the song for free from the Forerunner Music website, and I've typed out the lyrics below.

Verse 1:
My heart is overflowing
I speak concerning my beloved King whose name is light
This One is white and ruddy
This One stands out among ten thousand, His head glows like gold so bright

Chorus:
Brighter than the sun You shine
Flames of fire are in Your eyes
Jesus, You are fairer than the sons of men
Your Father's words, they dwell inside
No other man is more alive
Jesus, You are fairer than the sons of men

Verse 2:
No one has ever seen God
But Jesus, Your person radiates the glory of His frame
You are the faithful witness
You are the One who speaks the name of the Father of all light

Chorus

Bridge:
I can hear the angels singing
Glory, glory to God in the highest
There's never been a Man who's more alive (x3)
More alive than You, Jesus

Who is like You? No one like You, Jesus

I love this song. Do you know where I can get the chords?

No, I don't have the chords, sorry! Eventually I'm sure this will be included in one of the IHOP Songbooks that Forerunner Music is putting out.

Right now, though, you have to do it the old fashioned way... Get on your keyboard/guitar and keep trying things until it sounds right.
