Neil will be preaching from Psalm 2 next Sunday, and here’s a song I’ve written based on it, which I plan to introduce as part of the service.

You can listen to a rough demo below, and the lyrics are also below.

Not sure about you, but it makes me smile to think of God laughing… But is it a maniacal, hearty, or sniggering type of laugh? Hmm…

Why do the nations, why do the nations rage?
/> Seeking wealth, taking land, wars to wage
/> Why do the people, why do the people scheme?
/> Stand against and persecute those who believe
/> Don’t they know that…

The Lord laughs at the arrogance of governments and kings
/> Who believe they have no need of God or the wisdom that He brings
/> And the Lord scoffs at the plans of man, how His awesome wrath will burn
/> Though the evil gain for a little while, peace and justice will return
/> When His kingdom comes on earth

So may we serve Him with reverence and fear
/> Nations come as sons and daughters to draw near
/> And let us bow down and humbly kiss His feet
/> The judge who sits high upon the mercy seat
/> Don’t you know that…

Blessed are all who take refuge in Him, living for Jesus the king (repeat)
/>
