Hebrews: A 28-Day Musical Devotional

DAY 17 OF 28

Wondered

Today’s passage consists of the largest Old Testament quote in the New Testament (that’s good trivia!). According to Jeremiah 31:31-34, the prophet Jeremiah anticipated the new covenant when he spoke of coming days in which the Lord would no longer remember the sins of his people.

A new and better way,

The old has come and gone;

The earthly shadows fade,

The light of heaven dawns.

Notice how this music is very similar to the song “Wandered” from 3:7-11, which is based on another lengthy Old Testament quote. Not only are the titles of these two songs related, but the melodies possess the same shape and contour. Whereas the melody of “Wandered” exhibits the darker shades of the minor mode, “Wondered” presents the tune in a bouncier major key, underscoring the hope of the new covenant.
