Last week we looked at Psalm 2 in Bible Study, and despite our deep conversation all I could think about was The Lord Is King by Colin Buchanan from 10, 9, 8 God Is Great (2002). Also, I’m going to a Colin Concert this weekend, so listening to Colin before the concert was always going to happen.

You might’ve seen bad things happening on the TV news,
You might be worrying bout the world and wonder what’ll happen to you,
Put your trust in God alone cos He’s still on His mighty throne…

The Lord is King, He’s gonna look after everything, everything,
The Lord is King, He’s gonna look after everything,
Every single thing in this world, cos this is His world.

The child in me loves Colin, and the adult in me still loves just sitting there and listening to Colin. His songs are fairly simple to get kids engaged, but I find they are great reminders of simple truths that we so often forget. Sometimes we need to return to childlike faith.

You might get sad and wonder why there’s so much pain,
Why we let the same mistakes happen over and over again,
Sinful ways will always fail, but God and His ways will prevail…

You kings be wide, you rulers hear the Lord’s decree,
He sees, He knows, He’ll judge, in fearsome majesty,
But blessed are all who find their place in the shelter of His grace…

That last bit is Psalm 2 in case you were wondering.

I’ve got this clip for two reason, firstly there isn’t much Colin on YouTube and secondly, it’s Colin giving you the story around why he wrote The Lord Is King.
