The Mountains bow down ..scattered debt upon the waves

The words "mountains bow down" spoke to me in a new way today when singing. It could be that I have been looking at pictures of the mountains of Washington and New Hampshire. I have walked up a number of mountains and they are hard and relentless-- and to bow down-- what a thought --, what worship --to a Great Creator.

"Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing

power and majesty, praise to the King;
mountains bow down and the seas will roar
at the sound of Your name." (Shout to the Lord - Darlene Zschech)

"God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present  help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
    though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
 though its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah (Ps 46:1-3)

The words today of another song got me thinking about how our debt was paid and washed away.

"Daughters and sons from the ashes you’ve raised
And hidden our faults even from your own face
And scattered our debt upon the waves"

You set us up above all the stars
You set us on a high place by where you are
While we were dead you made us your friends
And scattered our debt upon the wind

Glory to One
God’s murdered son
Who paid for my resurrection
Once from the dust, once from the grave
Daughters and sons from the ashes you’ve raised
And hidden our faults even

from your own face
And scattered our debt upon the waves

Glory to one
God’s murdered son
Who paid for my resurrection
Glory to One
God’s murdered son
Who paid for my resurrection

Glory to the one who
Who overcame in death
Glory to the one
Who paid for my offenses
Glory to the one

Once from the dust
Once from the grave
Daughters and sons
From the ashes you’ve raised
And hidden our faults
Even from your own face
And scattered our debt upon the waves
And scattered our debt upon the waves

Mirdered Son by John Mark McMillan

"His wisdom is profound, his power is vast.
    Who has resisted him and come out unscathed?
He moves mountains without their knowing it
    and overturns them in his anger. 
 He shakes the earth from its place 
and makes its pillars tremble." (Job 9:4-6 NIV)
