PSALM 21 THE KING REJOICES

The King rejoices in Your strength
He exalts in Your victories
For You have granted His heart's desire
You have answered all His pleas

You laden Him with blessings rich
Placed a crown of gold on His head
For He asked from You the gift of life
You gave Him length of days

Be exalted, Your Majesty
We will sing and declare Your praise
Be exalted, Your Majesty
We will worship You all of our days

His glory is great through Your victory
His splendour magnified
You have made Him most blessed through eternity
Your presence has made Him glad

The King has trusted in the Lord
His feet shall not be moved
His hand has sought all all His foes
In His wrath they are consumed

Be exalted, Your Majesty
We will sing and declare Your praise
Be exalted, Your Majesty
We will worship You all our days

Be exalted, exalted
Be exalted on high!
Be exalted, exalted
Be exalted Oh Lord in Your power!
Be exalted, exalted
Be exalted Oh Lord in Your power!

Psalm 21 The King Rejoices

Idea based on the message of Hosea. "They ploughed wickedness and judgement sprung up as hemlock in the furrows of thier fields" (Hosea 10:4)

HEMLOCK IN THE FURROWS

Put the trumpet to your lips
Its time to raise the alarm
The eagle's soaring high above
Its the calm before the storm
Every idol that you carved
Lies scattered on the ground
When you were young you sowed the breeze
Now reap the whirlwind!

How can i give you up
or turn you away?
You hold a place in my heart
That no other can take
Jerusalem, Jerusalem

I can feel your sorrow
And understand your pain
For while the prophet played the fool
The wise man went insane
A house that is divided
Cannot hope to stand
You made your choice to sow the breeze
Now reap the whirlwind!

How can i give you up
or turn you away?
You hold a place in my heart
That no other can take
How can I give you up
Or turn my back on you?
With tender chords of love
I will draw you back to myself


Hemlock in the furrows

Asaph was the first and chief musician in the early days before the temple was built in Jerusalem. By all accounts (1Chron 16v5) he was a percussionist and drummer and together with Heman and Jeduthun formed the first worship band to accompany the choir in praise and worship of God He wrote a number of psalm lyrics under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. His lyrics are very down to earth and he likes to say things exactly as they are! 'Descendants of Asaph' follow in his tradition and is a virtual band dedicated to making music and song unto the Lord and presenting His challenge to the world today through parables in music.
