Paul Wilbur: Messianic Worship and the Ministry of Yeshua
Paul Wilbur is an Integrity Music recording artist and the founder of Wilbur Ministries. Paul and his team travel throughout the United States and the world sharing the love of God through Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah. As a renowned Messianic worship leader and songwriter, he has produced a vast collection of music that serves as a powerful anthem of praise and adoration to Jesus Christ.
The Message of Messianic Worship
The music of Paul Wilbur emphasizes the glorious resurrection and victorious reign of Jesus as King of Kings. It magnifies His resurrection and emphasizes His eternal sovereignty. The song "O We Praise" is a captivating Christian worship song that invites believers to join in worship, acknowledging Jesus as the one who paid the ultimate price for our redemption and offering Him our heartfelt praise and adoration.
This message is rooted in the Holy Scriptures, specifically reflecting the promise found in John 7:37-38 NKJV: "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."
Lyrical Analysis and Biblical Inspiration
The lyrics of Wilbur's songs often draw inspiration from the powerful words of Philippians 2:10-11, which state, "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Themes of Redemption
- The Crucifixion: "The night had fallen as he hung his head, Pierced and beaten, He gave His final breath. The earth was shaken as the veil was torn."
- The Resurrection: "You silenced the grave when the stone rolled away. Jesus glorified, Higher than the heavens, Forever He is risen."
- The Eternal Reign: "To a thousand generations, Forever He is king. Every heart will bow to the King of Israel."
In songs like "Crowned With Many Crowns," the lyrics proclaim: "O the glory of the Lord has come, His Spirit filling everyone. We were born for such a time as this, For the Lamb of God is in our midst."
