Another rough passage of scripture that describes God's wrath as he judges His people for their actions. Chad digs into this and the similarities to the language from Exodus. Chad encourages to meditate on verse 2: "in wrath, remember mercy". And God has remembered, sending His beloved Son to earth to live and die in our place, rise again and break the cold chains of bondage that bind us all. Rebekah Caggegi sings "Maranatha!" and we look forward to the great day of the Lord when He, the great Judge makes everything forever right.

Lyrics for Maranatha!

Verse:

The mountains saw you and trembled

A torrent of waters swept by

The voice I heard from the deepest ocean

Lifted its praises on high

And over the ancient pathways

Eternal hills were sinking low

The tallest mountains were all shattered

When arrows flashed from your bow

Chorus

Maranatha! Maranatha!

You will return

With rays flashing from your hand

Sending terror across the land

Maranatha! Maranatha!

You will return

And in Your wrath remember

Mercy, the breath of life

Mercy upon the earth

Let there be mercy

Let there be mercy

Verse 3:

The sun and moon stood in their place at the flash of your glittering spear.

You marched through the earth with a fury

You shook the nations with fear

Was your anger against the rivers, Indignation against the seas, Still Your ways are everlasting

And I fear for Your decrees

Your ways are perfect

But I am not

Without Your mercy

I am lost

Chorus

Maranatha! Maranatha!

You will return

With rays flashing from your hand

Sending terror across the land

Maranatha! Maranatha!

You will return

And in Your wrath remember

Mercy, the breath of life

Mercy upon the earth
