Free download: Nahum: Oh, Nineveh

I just posted a new song to the Scripture to Music Collective site here!  That's 10 songs posted for 7 books of the Bible.  Only 59 more books to go...


When I signed myself up to write a song for every book of the Bible in a year, I thought about books like Leviticus, Song of Solomon [*blush*], and pretty much all of the minor prophets (like Nahum) and thought to myself "those will be hard ones".  Although this song is definitely not a "feel-good" song, it sure feels good to check one of those tough books off the list.


Song Description:
Nahum was going to be one of those books for which it would be nearly impossible to write a song.  It is a book about God's wrath and judgement against an evil city called Nineveh, and Nahum really doesn't hold back in his vivid descriptions of what that judgement will look like. This book reminds us of the all-consuming heat of God's wrath which, according to Scripture, all sinners against a holy God deserve.  It should freak us out, to be honest.  And ultimately, it should make us thankful for Christ who absorbed God's wrath on our behalf.
