Today... 'The Elect One
Why do the nations rage and the people plot in vain?
For He was chosen and elected by God to reign.
He is the delight of God and filled by the Spirit.
The kingdoms are His and He shall all things inherit.
By Him a bruisèd reed shall not even be broken.
Neither in the streets will His voice be loudly spoken.
He will never be discouraged neither will He fail.
For by His faithfulness justice will always prevail.
He is the elect of God, our Lord and sovereign
bringing justice to the nations that He will sustain.
The One enthroned in the heavens will look down and scoff.
Then in his anger He terrifies them in His wrath.
No democracy here for it's not up to the poles
that kind of election is confined to earthly souls.
These are eternal issues and the rulers shall see
that upon His shoulders all the government shall be.
Now that the Elect of God is enthroned in heaven.
The name above every name to Him is given.
Earthly rulers bow down and kiss the Son while they can.
For God is so delighted in this heavenly man.
