GOD'S EXPLOSIONS

Words and Music: Michael Mountain

Inspired by "Explosions I," ML #69

Intro: (Em)

Verse 1:
That (Em)spark of inspiration
That (Cmaj7)lights that special fuse,
Of the (Am)bomb of great accomplishment,
(Em)Ignites the precious few.
(Em)Ordained by God's Own power
Pent (Cmaj7)up within their souls,
They (Am)wait for perfect timing
To (Em)really let it blow.
Some(Em)times they wait a lifetime
Be(Cmaj7)fore that fateful hour,
To (Am)burst in a blaze of glory
And (Em)light the sky with 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 heart of man.

Chorus:
(C)Change the course of (G)history,
(C)Listen to the (G)Lord,
(C)Heavenly (Em)explosions,
Echo 'round the world.

Verse 2:
(Em)Job, in all his sufferings,
Was (Cmaj7)such a thunderbolt,
(Am)Encouraging countless millions
With his (Em)faith-inspired prose.
And (G)Noah burst his bombshell
On the (F)crest of the raging tides,
When the (C)flood of God's great judgment
Hurled a (Em)holocaust worldwide.
(Em)Abraham the faithful,
Hit the (Cmaj7)road and left his land
When he (Am)heard the Lord's commandment,
Though he (Em)did not understand.
His faith began the battle
That will (F)win the victory,
Through the (C)Lord's own fearless soldiers
Who (Em)fight for liberty.

[Repeat chorus]

Instrumental: (Em)-(Cmaj7)-(Em)-(Bm)-(Am)-(Em)-(A)

Verse 3:
The (F#m)king and psalmist David
Was a (Dmaj7)ruddy homemade bomb,
When he (Bm)smashed that burly giant
As he (F#m)praised the Lord in song.
And Jesus blew the darkness
Back to (G)Hell where it came from,
And He (D)died to set us free
And blow us (F#m)back to Kingdom come.
Now (F#m)God is still exploding,
And His (Dmaj7)bombs are still around,
And like (Bm)all His kings and prophets,
We can't (F#m)help but make a sound.
We'll (A)blow like Krakatoa
If the (G)world tries to shut us up,
'Cause we're (D)filled with God's hot Spirit
And (F#m)exploding with His Love.

[Chorus 2:
(D)Change the course of (A)history,
(D)Listen to the (A)Lord,
(D)Heavenly (F#m)explosions
Echo 'round the world!
(F#m)Echo 'round the world! [Repeat]

[Around the (F#m)world!] [Repeat]
