The Worship Music of John Wimber 

                  

 
 

Many don't realize that John Wimber was not only an anointed pastor, teacher & speaker, but he also was a highly talented musician. In the early 1960's, John had developed a number of musical acts ranging from jazz groups to rock'n'roll bands. In 1962, he brought two of his musician friends together, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, and formed The Righteous Brothers. Just as they were making their name known nationally, John came to Christ and signed off all his rights to the group. According to Carol Wimber, it was during this season of sacrifice, as John gave up his lucrative music career for his passion for Jesus, that God birthed Vineyard Music. Years later, John's worship songs like "Isn't He?" and others literally traveled around the world and have gone on to become Christian classics. Here, we give you the lyrics of some of John's best known songs.

Oh, let the Son of God enfold you,
With His Spirit and His love.
Let Him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.
Oh, let Him have the things that hold you,
And His Spirit like a dove,
Will descend upon your life and make you whole.

    Jesus, oh Jesus,
    Come and fill Your lambs.
    Jesus, oh Jesus,
    Come and fill Your lambs.

Oh, come and sing this song with gladness,
As your hearts are filled with joy.
Lift your hands in sweet surrender to His name.
Oh, give Him all your tears and sadness.
Give Him all your years of pain,
And you'll enter into life in Jesus' name.

Consider how He loves you
His arms of love enfold you
Like a sweet, sweet perfume

He left His Word to guide us
His presence lives inside us
Like a sweet, sweet perfume

    Don’t ever think
    That you’re worthless
    You have his life within
    You are a sweet,
    Wholesome fragrance
    So valuable to Him

He’ll light up all your darkness
And fill you with his Spirit
Like a sweet, sweet perfume

Your prayers are very precious
They reach the heart of Jesus
Like a sweet, sweet perfume

Name above all names

We throw our crowns before Him
Worthy is the Lamb
Shouting worthy is the Lamb that was slain
