Our God Reigns

Here is a very cool song called "Our God Reigns" from Delirious' new record called "Mission Bell". Here are the lyrics:
40 million babies lost to Gods great orphanage,
It’s a modern day genocide and a modern day disgrace
If this is a human right then why aren’t we free?
The only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree.

100 million faces, staring at the sky,
Wondering if this HIV will ever pass us by.
The devil stole the rain and hope trickles down the plug,
But still my Chinese take away could pay for someone’s drugs.

Our God reigns, Our God reigns,
Forever your kingdom reigns.

The west has found a gun and it’s loaded with ‘unsure’
Nip and tuck if you have the bucks in a race to find a cure.
Psalm one hundred and thirty nine is the conscience to our selfish crime,
God didn’t screw up when he made you,
He’s a father who loves to parade you.

Yes he reigns, yes you reign, yes you reign,
For there is only one true God,
But we’ve lost the reins on this world,
Forgive us all, forgive us please,
As we fight for this broken world on our knees.
Christian music used to be a lot more like this song, namely, more content and more preachy. Sadly the norm for today's Christian music is recycled "worship" music that all sounds the same (there are exceptions of course).

I'll assume you are internet savvy enough to find this song and the record. It's a good buy.

They just released a new live CD/DVD recorded live at Willow Creek during the Arts Conference last June that's also gotten very favorable reviews. There's a couple versions of Our God Reigns on there including a reprise version and a "radio edit" version.
