Crown Him the Lord of heav’n!
One with the Father known,
One with the Spirit through Him giv’n
From yonder glorious throne,
To Thee be endless praise,
For Thou for us hast died;
Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days
Adored and magnified.

We conclude our journey of resonance through this great hymn this week. The Lord of heaven is the crown we consider this week. We will offer eternal praise for His sacrifice for our souls. Let’s tune our hearts.
Crown Him
And here is the greatest crown of them all. The Lord of heaven! He is the Lord God Almighty, eternally one with the Father on high. He rules and reigns over all, the Lamb, the Lord of love and life! For all eternity we will give Him praise for His obedience to the Father’s will.
Crown Him the Lord of heav’n! One with the Father known,
Jesus is the Lord of heaven. Undoubtedly that brings great joy to the Father and to Jesus as well. Having the authority to lay down HIs life and take it up again, He did just that, according to His Father’s plan.
Two things of note in this opening line of our closing stanza. First, He is one with the Father, the first mystery of the Trinity. Second, He is known with the Father. Though they are distinct in person they are known connected, as with Jesus teaching here.
My Father…is greater than all…I and the Father are one.” John 10:29a, 30 ESV
Aren’t you glad that Jesus has made the Father known to us? Can you imagine an eternity without this knowledge? Separated from the presence and love of our Creator? Thanks to Jesus, the Lord of heaven, you do not have to.
RESONATE!
Give Him praise that we can know Him! Jesus makes the Father’s love known to us, and our perfection in Him known to the Father. Take a moment to consider the privilege of knowing God. Can you remember when you did not know Him? Either way, thank Him for the privilege of knowing Him now as Lord of your life, and forever as the Lord of heaven.
The Spirit, Through Him Given
One with the Spirit through Him giv’n From yonder glorious throne,
Here is the second mystery of the Trinity. Jesus is also one with the Spirit Whom He promised to send and did send to be our Comforter, Counselor and Keeper. He also promised the Spirit would be the Living Water to quench the spiritual thirst of all who believe. That same Spirit flows from the throne of God on high and is God.
Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:39 ESV
And glorified He was. He is the Lord of heaven, and has given us the Spirit.
There is something mysterious about the fact that Jesus could not send the Spirit until He was glorified, but that is more than we can ponder here. We must simply thank Jesus for sending us the Holy Spirit once He was glorified.
RESONATE!
Take a moment and try to imagine Jesus glorified and the Holy Spirit flowing from that heavenly throne. Is there anything in your life today that would impair your ability to welcome the flow of the Holy Spirit? Quiet yourself for a moment and ask God to reveal any thought, word or deed that may be blocking that flow. Cry out for forgiveness to the One seated on the throne and ask Him to give you the Spirit that you may find your soul quenched in His cleansing and powerful flow.
Jesus, thank You for becoming the Lord of heaven, one with the Father and the Spirit. We have been made right with Father and know the power of the Spirit because of Your work. We humble ourselves before You again today as we crown You with many crowns. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Welcome to Tuesday Tunings at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s tune our hearts.
Crown Him the Lord of heav’n!
One with the Father known,
One with the Spirit through Him giv’n
From yonder glorious throne,
To Thee be endless praise,
For Thou for us hast died;
Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days
Adored and magnified.
And here is the greatest crown of them all. The Lord of heaven! He is the Lord God Almighty, eternally one with the Father on high. He rules and reigns over all, the Lamb, the Lord of love and life! Give Him praise for His obedience to the Father’s will.
He is also one with the Spirit Whom He promised to send and did send to be our Comforter, Counselor and Keeper. That same Spirit flows from the throne of God on high and is God. Give thanks to Jesus for sending us the Holy Spirit.
We praise him eternally for dying for our sins. We could and will praise Him for so much more across the span of forever, but our salvation is the foundation that allows us to offer our first praise and enables and eternity of the same. Give Him praise now, and forever!
We adore Him now. And we will always adore Him. We magnify Him, not making Him any larger, but seeing ever more clearly the magnitude of His might. Ask Him to empower Your praise today, and every day, for the rest of eternity.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has surfaced in your heart, or just listen to what He is saying to you, then we will sing once more.
Sing
Take the awareness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, be Resonant.
