Why do the nations rage? Why do they plot and scheme? Their bullets can't stop the prayers we pray In the name of the Prince of Peace We walk in faith and remember long ago How they killed him and then how on the third day he arose Well, things may look bad And things may look grim But all these things must pass except the things that are of him Where are the nails that pierced his hands? Well the nails have turned to rust But behold the Man He is risen And he reigns In the hearts of the children Rising up in his name Where are the thorns that drew his blood? Well, the thorns have turned to dust But not so the love He has given No, it remains In the hearts of the children Who will love while the nations rage The Lord in Heaven laughs He knows what is to come While all the chiefs of state plan their big attacks Against his anointed One The Church of God she will not bend her knees To the gods of this world though they promise her peace She stands her ground Stands firm on the Rock Watch their walls tumble down when she lives out his love Where are the nails that pierced his hands? Well the nails have turned to rust But behold the Man He is risen And he reigns In the hearts of the children Rising up in his name Where are the thorns that drew his blood? Well, the thorns have turned to dust But not so the love He has given No, it remains In the hearts of the children Who will love while the nations rage

about

This song is from Rich Mullins' 1989 album, Never Picture Perfect. It's a riff on Psalm 2, and I think it speaks particularly to our polarized political climate. Used by permission.
