1. Are you sure a “two edged sword in their mouth” should be “in their hand” instead?

   Revelation 1:16 - “And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.”

2. The lyrics to the song can be found online. It should be “hand”. Makes sense; it’s hard to praise God while you have a sword in your mouth without drooling a lot.

   (Jesus, of course, may have a sword coming from his mouth because he’s magic.)

3. @Eric– If you pay attention to the context of that verse, it’s talking about *God* with a “sword” coming from his mouth.

   The song is about Christians, not God, who do not have swords in their mouths, just their hands. This is a bit strange to be singing about in a hymn or chorus regardless, either way.

4. I’d be okay with a one-edged sword in my mouth, providing the business end was pointing the right way.

5. @Bratcher Lev - the verse is about saints, who have presumably died and gone to heaven, not ordinary run-of-the-mill Christians, and who knows what goes on in heaven? Maybe the saints do act like pirates in a Disney movie!

6. @Eric- Having graduated from a Bible College and spent time in full time ministry, let me assure you, they are talking about themselves here. Christian praise is full of questionable wordings and phrases.

   “Christian praise is full of questionable wordings and phrases.”

   LOL!
