Question

Posted on 4 November 2009 by Benj

Question: have you ever thought about the song, “You Said,” by Hillsong, specifically, where the chorus comes from?

You said, “Ask, and I’ll give the nations to you.”
Oh Lord, that’s the cry of my heart.

      I love “The Message” version of Ps. 2:7-9:

      Let me tell you what God said next.
      He said, “You’re my son,
      And today is your birthday.
      What do you want? Name it:
      Nations as a present? continents as a prize?
      You can command them all to dance for you,
      Or throw them out with tomorrow’s trash.”
