GOD'S EXPLOSIONS

Composed by Michael Mountain
Taken from "God's Explosions I" by Father David

[Original version]

Intro: (Em)-(C)-(Am)-(Em)-(Am)-(Em)

That (Em)spark of inspiration
That (C)lights that special fuse
Of the (Am)bomb of great accomplishment,
Ig(Em)nites the (Am)precious (Em)few.
Or(Em)dained by God's own power
Pent (C)up within their souls,
They (Am)wait for perfect timing
To (Em)really (Am)let her (Em)blow.
Some(Em)times they wait a lifetime
Be(C)fore that fateful hour
To (Am)burst in blaze and glory
And (Em)light the (Am)sky with (Em)showers.
They (G)change the course of history,
Ful(F)filling God's own plan,
And (C)echo through the ages
To in(Em)spire the (Am)heart of (Em)man.

(Em)Job, the suffering psalmist,
Was (C)such a thunder bolt
En(Am)couraging countless millions
With his (Em)faith in(Am)spired (Em)prose.
(G)Noah burst his bombshell
On the (F)crest of raging tides
When the (C)flood of God's great judgement
Hurled a (Em)holo(Am)caust world(Em)wide.
(Em)Abraham, the faithful,
Hit the (C)road and left his land,
When he (Am)heard the Lord's commandment
Though he (Em)did not (Am)under(Em)stand.
His (G)faith began the battle
That will (F)win the victory
When the (C)Lord's last fearless soldiers
Fight and (Em)die for (D)liber(Em)ty.

Chorus:
(C)Change the course of (G)history,
(C)Listen to the (G)Lord.
(C)Heavenly ex(Em)plosions
Echo a(Am)round the (Em)world.

The (Em)king and psalmist David
Was a (C)ruddy homemade bomb
As he (Am)smashed that burly giant,
As he (Em)praised the (Am)Lord in (Em)song.
And (G)Jesus blew the darkness
Back to (F)hell where it came from,
And He (C)died to set us free and
Blow us (Em)back to (Am)Kingdom (Em)come.
And (Em)God is still exploding,
And His (C)bombs are still around,
And like (Am)all His kings and prophets,
We can't (Em)help but (Am)make a (Em)sound.
We'll (G)blow like Krakatoa
If you (F)try to shut us up
'Cause we're (C)filled with God's hot Spirit
And ex(Em)ploding (D)with His (Em)love.

[Repeat chorus three times]
