A ‘theme song’ is a signature song—one uniquely associated with a person, group or production. For example, the lyrics of a show or TV program’s theme song may tell the story of the main characters. A sports team may have its own theme song. Even nations have their own anthem.
Our lives, have a ‘theme song’. It is a metaphor for the unique blend of the message, atmosphere, and prevailing emotion that characterizes us.
Today I believe God is saying, “New theme songs are being released. And with this new sound, atmospheres are shifting. Destinies are being broken open!
A New Song is Piercing the Darkness
There was a moment when Miriam picked up a tambourine and led a song. It was a song never heard before in Israel—a new sound, a song of victory:
“Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!” (Exodus 15:21, NKJV)
As Moses and Miriam taught new songs of victory won to Israel, the old songs and melodies of sorrow from slavery, from generations past, became extinct.
Today, there is a prophetic sound being released. It is piercing the darkness. It is a new song; a song of victory.
Outdated Theme Songs are Being Replaced
Are there themes that have been carried forward from past seasons—even recent journeys of your life—that carry a sense of sadness or frustration?
God is releasing a new theme song over your life:
- It is the song of your identity intertwined with His
- It is the song of grace; of His salvation and redemption
- It is a song of victory; of new hope and anticipation of His goodness in your journey ahead
‘See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come’
(SOS 2:11-12a)
You are Singing from Higher Ground
Today, if you been waiting upon God in the midst of trial; if you have felt stuck and unsure of your standing, the song of Miriam and Israel can be your song.
The victory that is not possible to you in your own strength, has already been won by Christ.
‘He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.’
(Psalm 40:1-3, NIV)
Your Father is lifting you in His arms and bringing you to higher ground. That ground, that Rock, is Jesus. As you respond to Him, the Spirit of God is releasing a new sound from within you. God’s transforming power at work in your life will spill over and touch many others.
The Song of Deliverance is Your New Song
The walls of the Lord surround and protect you. They stand between you and circumstances that have threatened to overwhelm you. Listen—there is a sound; a song being sung over you by the Spirit of God and the angelic hosts. Hear a song of deliverance:
‘Your God has triumphed. That enemy is overcome. You are more than a conqueror in Christ.’
‘You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.‘
(Psalm 32:7, NIV).
He says, ‘My love surrounds you. I am giving you songs in the night.’ (Psalm 42:8)
Your God is singing over you. (Zeph 3:14-17)
It’s Time to Dance
‘Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing.’(Exodus 15:20, NIV)
For Miriam and Israel, the threat of slavery was at an end. Their former slave driver, Pharaoh of Egypt, could no longer pursue them. With that realization, came a new theme song and a dance of celebration.
- When Miriam was freed from slavery, she entered her destiny as a prophet and leader of women. Along with her, a generation of women was released into a new realm of praise and worship.
That enemy that has been pursuing you was destroyed at the cross. (Col 2:15) As recognition dawns, a new song is rising within you.
It’s time to dance.

Your post was very timely for me. I wrote a song a few years ago, and it has taken awhile for me to do anything with it, but just as we put the finishing touches on it, I received your word about new theme songs being released. This song is indeed my new theme song as it represents a new chapter in my life and as it reminds me of the goodness of the Lord. Verses that you mentioned in Zephaniah 3 and Song of Songs 2 and others were very relevant to me also. So I thank you for this encouraging word. My song is called Magnificent Rose, and it is about Jesus, the Rose of Sharon.

Please feel free to listen and/or share.
Hello Sharon, this song is truly amazing! It brought me to tears – very special personally and here in my Australian garden my roses are blooming, too.
Just shared it on Twitter.
Praise God. I just saw your comment on my song Magnificent Rose.Thank you for listening and sharing.
This is SO awesome, Sharon! Just want to encourage you to keep moving forward:o)
Praise God! Thank you for listening…
Dear Sister in CHRIST Helen, Thank you so much for sharing the Prophetic Word, I Love it. I felt such a stirring in my spirit after reading the Prophetic Word the LORD has given you to share with us.
“YOU MAKE ME BRAVE” by Amanda Cook & Bethel Music is a Wonderfully Anointed, Powerful and Prophetic Song, I Love it. The Lyrics to the song are so inspiring.
The Prayer of my Heart is LORD JESUS YOU make me BRAVE, STRONG and VICTORIOUS.
I declare and decree I know the Precious WORD of GOD can make the Blind to See
I declare and decree the Precious BLOOD of CHRIST has the Power to Set the Nations Free
I Believe JESUS CHRIST is the RESURRECTION and the LIFE you See
I Believe the POWER of the RESURRECTED CHRIST IS ALIVE in ME
I declare and decree JESUS Strengthens me, HE makes me BRAVE and I WALK in VICTORY
Another Song that I Absolutely Love is called “DANCE WITH ME” by Robert Stearns, this very Powerfully Anointed Song Moves my Heart in such a Special way, it takes me to Heavens Throne Room, were my Heart can Beat as ONE with the Heartbeat of GOD. I feel it is the Sacred Romance of the Bridal Heart of the Body of CHRIST calling out to her HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM JESUS, and
JESUS calling out to HIS BRIDE “DANCE WITH ME”, enter in through the Veil into the Holy of Holies into the most Holy Place where I can See you Face to Face to feel the Warmth of your Heavenly Embrace. I Love You JESUS my GOD, my LORD and my KING, my Heavenly Bridegroom YOU make my Heart Sing.
Hello Helen
Thank you for this timely and profound post. I read it a couple of times, as it really ministered to my spirit. Thank you also for the link to that beautiful and uplifting performance by Hezekiah Walker…. Every good gift comes from GOD, indeed. Every praise to HIM!
Thank you so much for the prophetic word. I can say its a confirmation of what my pastor said about my life this week. For sure a new song i sing and i will testify as all my enemies have been defeated.
God bless you.
Good Day Helen! It has been a while. What a lovely post/sermon. Truly the Holy Spirit flows through you. Again, as always, your ministry is spot on, timely and eloquently written. Your words lifted me and gave me respite from my fierce struggle! I literally hang on whatever ribbon of hope I can find each and every day.
I’m learning about Robert Henderson’s “Courts of Heaven” and attempting to get out from under this serious curse I’ve uncovered. It appears that we have to petition the Heavenly courts for payment of our transgressions before we can enter the spiritual battlefield. I’ve been doing it backwards! According to Henderson, everyone has something to contend with since we are all descended from Adam and Eve. My father died unexpectedly, with foul play attached, and my mother and step-father survived hurricane Maria but with months and months of rebuilding ahead of them. I’m not in a position to fly down there and assist and they are older so that’s stressing me out in addition to the daily demonic attacks. Even if the enemy was destroyed on the cross, I have so much to contend with that seeking freedom from this spiritual harassment has become a full time job! Your presence is such a balm on an otherwise, serious plague! God Bless You and Happy Thanksgiving! May the good Lord shine brightly on you and yours and thanks so very much for being here. All love~Stacie
Hello Stacie,
I’m sorry to hear about all the trials – may this coming season be one in which you experience the fullness of the victory Jesus has already won! And Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
This prophetic word of a new song release over my life is definitely fitting where God has me right now. After calling out to Him, in three weeks He has taken me to a new level from where I came. This new level involves sealing my relationship with Him from an inconsistent, rollercoast one, to an intense desire by the power of the Holy Spirit, to make our relationship a solid, day by day relationship. He IS releasing a new theme song over my life. I don’t know what all that is just yet, but He is moving in my life by the Holy Spirit to draw me closer in a way I cannot deny. This ministry in my life has included emotional healing over a situation from decades ago that has impacted my entire life. He is indeed releasing a song of identity intertwined with His; of grace, his salvation and redemption’ and of victory, new hope and anticipation of His goodness in my journey ahead!
