God Rides on the Clouds – A Blues Song Inspired by Psalm 68

1 month ago
17

** God Rides on the Clouds" is a powerful blues-gospel fusion song based on Psalm 68, capturing the majesty, justice, and salvation of God as celebrated by King David. This psalm was likely written to commemorate a triumphant moment for Israel, possibly during the return of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, as David reflects on God's enduring protection and strength. The imagery here is profound: God's presence shaking mountains, scattering His enemies, and riding on the clouds, establishing His reign.

David, Israel's warrior-king and devoted worshipper, pours his heart into these words, describing how God defends the vulnerable, delivers His people, and establishes His might over all creation. This song preserves those themes, bringing the timeless message of God's sovereignty to life through the depth and soulful rhythms of blues.

Let this song remind us that God's presence is as real and powerful today as it was for David. No matter our struggles or challenges, we are called to trust in the One who scatters darkness, lifts the weary, and rides on the clouds.

** Psalm 68 (World English Bible)

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.

1 Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered!
Let them who hate him also flee before him.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away.
As wax melts before the fire,
so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad.
Let them rejoice before God.
Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name!
Extol him who rides on the clouds:
to Yah, his name! Rejoice before him!

** Lyrics for "God Rides on the Clouds"

(Verse 1)
Let God arise, let His enemies flee,
Like smoke in the wind, like wax to the heat.
He's the father to the fatherless, defender of the weak,
Riding high on the clouds, bringing justice we seek.

(Chorus)
God rides on the clouds, mighty and bold,
He scatters the wicked, leaves them cold.
We sing to Yah, we lift His name,
Our God of strength, unchanging, the same.

(Verse 2)
The earth shook, and the heavens poured rain,
At Sinai's foot, we trembled in His name.
He sends a plentiful rain, when His people grow dry,
He lifts the weary, won't let them die.

(Chorus)
God rides on the clouds, mighty and bold,
He scatters the wicked, leaves them cold.
We sing to Yah, we lift His name,
Our God of strength, unchanging, the same.

(Bridge)
"The Lord gives the word," a mighty call,
Kings tremble and flee, they stumble and fall.
From Bashan's heights, from depths of the sea,
Our God reigns forever, setting captives free.

(Verse 3)
Blessed be the Lord, who bears our load,
Salvation's King, down every road.
He crushes the enemy, He makes a way,
Through fire and thunder, He saves the day.

(Chorus)
God rides on the clouds, mighty and bold,
He scatters the wicked, leaves them cold.
We sing to Yah, we lift His name,
Our God of strength, unchanging, the same.

(Outro)
Strength belongs to our God, He won't let go,
Awesome in power, from above to below.
We lift our voices, we raise our cries,
Praise to Yahweh, who rules the skies.
