This song draws inspiration from Psalm 2, capturing the essence of the age-old questions of rebellion and divine sovereignty. In a style reminiscent of James Taylor's soothing vocals and intricate guitar work, the lyrics explore the tumultuous struggles of nations, their kings, and the overarching power of the Creator. With an easy-going melody and open guitar chords, this song resonates with themes of hope, faith, and the ultimate victory of good over evil.
Verse 1:
Why do the nations rage, oh Lord?
And why do they plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up, unite,
Against You, they call Your name.
Chorus:
But You sit in heaven, unshaken, so still,
Your plan unfolds, and it always will.
You laugh at their schemes, their pride and their might,
For the sun will shine, bringing forth the light.
Verse 2:
The rulers gather, they take their stand,
Their hearts are hardened as they fight,
But the One who is Sovereign, He holds the land,
With truth in His hand, we trust in His might.
Chorus:
So You sit in heaven, unshaken, so still,
Your plan unfolds, and it always will.
You laugh at their schemes, their pride and their might,
For the sun will shine, bringing forth the light.
Bridge:
I will declare the decree, I will speak of Your ways,
You are my refuge, my strength for all days.
You have called me Your own, in You I find peace,
In the midst of the storm, my fears shall cease.
Verse 3:
Kiss the Son, lest His anger arise,
For blessed are all who find rest in His grace.
Though the nations may rage, and the world may disguise,
In You, Lord, I will always find my place.
Chorus:
So we’ll sit in the light, knowing You’re in control,
Your plan unfolds, mending every soul.
You laugh at their schemes, their pride and their might,
For the sun will shine, bringing forth the light.
