Light Sown in the Thunder — Psalm 97

[Electric guitar: dark rolling triplets] [Verse 1: Bubba] Let the islands wake rejoicing, Let the wide earth hear His reign. Cloud and darkness gather round Him, Righteous justice is His frame. Fire goes before His presence, Lightning shows the trembling ground; Mountains melt like wax before Him, Every heaven speaks it loud. [Refrain: duet] Light sown in the thunder, Gladness for the upright heart. Higher than the idols, Lord of every land and star. Let the ones who love You Turn their faces from the wrong; Light sown in the thunder, Holy God, receive our song. [Verse 2: Darlene] Shame upon the carved-up idols, Empty boasting brought down low. Zion hears and sings for gladness, Judah sees Your judgments show. High above the earth You’re reigning, Far above all other claims; You preserve Your faithful people, Free them from the wicked chains. [Electric guitar solo: eight bars] [Bridge: duet softly] Teach our love to hate the evil, Keep our hands from serving lies. In remembrance of Your holiness, Let thanksgiving rise. [Final refrain: full band] Light sown in the thunder, Gladness for the upright heart. Higher than the idols, Lord of every land and star. Let the ones who love You Turn their faces from the wrong; Light sown in the thunder, Holy God, receive our song.
