       Next, we read: “And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed” (Revelation 15:3, 4, ESV). What a tremendous song. Let’s consider what has been sung here. So, the saints here worship and bless God by the song they sing to him, which obviously comes from their hearts. While John calls this song The Song of Moses, which is found in Exodus 15 (after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea), and the Song of the Lamb (which is found in Revelation 5), this is actually a new song, as it does not match word for word either of those previous songs. However, it is in the spirit of those songs. The saints first mention both God’s deeds and ways. They note that no matter what God does, he is always right. They call him, “the Almighty” which displays his power and sovereignty.
