PSALM 146: "The One Who Ever Reigns"
The blinded eyes made whole.
The beggar's basket full.
The widow's weeping eyes made dry.
The fatherless called nigh.
The prisoner unbound.
The wanderer is found.
The forgotten ones find a home.
The hopeful sings out praise.
Happy are the hopeful,
Placing our trust in You
That You are ever faithful
Praising all You do
The One Who ever reigns.
The One who made the sea,
He sets the captives free.
Saving the ones whose chains undone.
The One who made all things.
The One who made the land.
He lifts the weak to stand.
Lighting the way to brighter day.
The One who ever reigns.
Happy are the hopeful,
Placing our trust in You
That You are ever faithful
Praising all You do
The One Who ever reigns.
This piece shares the stories of the helpless and hopeless, finding hope, happiness, and praise in "The One Who Ever Reigns". The same God who heals, feeds, and comforts is the same God Who created all things. The bass line, in the verses, has a droning part, picturing the presence of God. The melody and inner parts shift chords above, picturing the changes of life, both in struggles and joy.
