The Anointed One
“The Anointed One” is a dynamic, spirit-filled gospel anthem that fuses biblical storytelling with explosive praise. It begins reverently, recounting the moments when God’s anointing fell upon His chosen servants — from the oil on David’s head to the fire that answered Elijah’s prayer. As the song builds, the choir joins in harmony, declaring the unstoppable power of God’s hand across generations.
[Verse 1 – Solo Lead]
From the oil on David’s head, to the fire Elijah called,
You chose the weak to show Your strength, You answered every call.
Moses stood on holy ground, with glory on his face,
You poured Your Spirit out on him, a vessel of Your grace.
[Pre-Chorus – Choir Harmony]
Oh, the power of Your hand,
Moves through every chosen man.
But none compare, none ever will,
To the Lamb on Zion’s hill!
[Chorus – Full Choir with Gospel Drive]
Jesus, the Anointed One!
Healer, Savior, risen Son!
Crowned with glory, robed in light,
You broke the chains and won the fight!
Holy Spirit, fall again,
Let Your fire never end!
We are called, we are sent,
By the oil of Heaven’s scent!
[Verse 2 – Solo Lead with Choir Echo]
Samuel poured the sacred oil ( Sacred oil!)
David danced with heaven’s joy ( Heaven’s joy!)
Esther stood with royal grace ( Royal grace!)
Chosen for a time and place.
[Bridge – Call and Response]
Who was anointed to part the sea? (Moses!)
Who called fire from Galilee? (Elijah!)
Who faced giants with a sling and stone? (David!)
Who wore thorns to claim the throne? (Jesus!)
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
The Anointed One!
[Final Chorus – Modulated Key, Full Choir]
Jesus, the Anointed One!
Healer, Savior, risen Son!
Crowned with glory, robed in light,
You broke the chains and won the fight!
Holy Spirit, fall again,
Let Your fire never end!
We are called, we are sent,
By the oil of Heaven’s scent!
[Outro – Choir A Cappella]
We are anointed, we are Yours,
Vessels of love, forevermore.
Jesus reigns, our victory won,
All praise to the Anointed One.
Theme and Message
“The Anointed One” is a vibrant, gospel-infused declaration of divine calling, power, and victory in Jesus Christ. It celebrates the sacred thread of anointing that flows through Scripture—from the prophets and kings of Israel to its ultimate fulfillment in Christ, the Messiah.
The song’s message is one of continuity and empowerment: the same Spirit that anointed Moses, Elijah, David, and Esther now rests upon believers today. It reminds listeners that God still calls, equips, and sends His people into the world, filled with heavenly fire and purpose. At its core, the anthem proclaims that every act of faith and courage finds its meaning in the person of Jesus — the true Anointed One, who conquered sin, death, and darkness forever.
Spiritual Meaning
Spiritually, “The Anointed One” is a proclamation of divine heritage and holy empowerment.
The first verse honors the great anointed figures of the Old Testament, showing that God has always chosen humble vessels to reveal His glory.
The pre-chorus bridges the old covenant and the new, culminating in the Lamb of God who reigns from Zion’s hill — the ultimate fulfillment of all anointings.
The chorus erupts into a joyous outpouring of gospel praise, acknowledging Jesus as healer, savior, and victorious king.
The second verse brings an echo of unity — the same Spirit that moved in ancient times now dances within the Church, calling each believer to rise.
The bridge becomes a powerful call-and-response moment of worship and remembrance, connecting the mighty works of God through history to His present power at work in Christ.
This song celebrates the living anointing of the Holy Spirit, who sets believers apart, fills them with fire, and sends them forth to carry the fragrance of heaven wherever they go.
