What does it mean to be a son of God in Christ? That is what this song is all about. When anyone surrenders their wayward, sinful heart to The Lord Jesus Christ, He is made a new creation. He is seen as holy and righteous because of that cleansing blood that washes and hides the sin and scars. We put on Christ like a garment and are apart of His Body, the Bride, His Church! We are a People, a royal Priesthood, Kings and Queens so to speak, in Christ! This is our inheritance. This is what we were chosen and adopted into before the world began by a good, just, and loving Father. This song declares who we are, what we have become, and what we will be in Christ Jesus. Not only is Jesus our delightful inheritance, but we are His inheritance. He is ours and we are His. The Bride adorned in white by His sacrifice. It was His joy to endure the cross because it would bring the greatest glory to His Father and the greatest joy to us as His eternal Bride. Won't you accept everything God is for you in Christ? In His presence is fullness of joy, and pleasures forevermore at His right hand. Psalm 16:11
lyrics
God you are my delight
I rest secure in you
Lord you are my Lord
Apart from you I have no good thing
There is no other like you
There is no God like you
Oh lover of our souls
You chose us and made us whole
We are your people
You are our God
We are yours. Your inheritance
You are ours. Our inheritance
I know who I am
I am a child of God
Surely I have a delightful inheritance in you
I was an orphan separated by my sin
But you adopted me into the family with your blood
We praise you Father for giving us life
We praise you Jesus for paying the price
We praise you Spirit for sealing our hearts
We fix our gaze on you and will not be shaken

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
