How Long, Oh Lord?

via Jonny Baker:

Marcus Curnow rewrote the worship song classic of our generation, Shout to the Lord, to express the under utilized emotions and tones we read in the Psalms. His angry version of Shout to the Lord was used during the first meeting of Urban Seed, a young missional Melbourne church. With wonderful lyrics such as

Why Jesus? Why favour
Those who do not like You?

and

Let every breath … never cease to question You

and

Nothing to hold
But the promise I have in You

… you get sense these people are not afraid to be angry with God. Or better, they understand God is not afraid of us getting angry with Him.

I was pleased to see them pair the original version with this one.
