Rich Mullins - While The Nations Rage

[stevenThanks2God]

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Thank God and the Fans!

[Durangobassplayer]

It is a joy to listen to this song. Praise the Lord.

[Durangobassplayer]

This is my new favorite praise song. Amazing.

[chrisjdd]

This is a perfect song for our time and is on my favorite Rich Mullins album. I miss him and his music. Thank you for posting this song!

[airdriver]

This is some good music.

Rich Mullins was truly gifted of God. His songs always touch. Could be tears, joy or laughter. I was on my way home after a most amazing Women's Ministry retreat in Kerrville, Tx. when I heard that Rich had been called home. I was both heartbroken for the worlds loss of an amazing man and elated for him, knowing he had joined our Father.

Thanks for posting!! I love, love this song - just heard it tonight. It is so true for today.

[tamaml2]

I love this song. I haven't heard this is along time.

[TheSpinWorld]

I don't like the par where he says " God looks down a laughs at all of this"

[JoshDWilbur]

You're referring to the lyric that goes:

"The Lord in Heaven laughs

He knows what is to come

While all the chiefs of state plan their big attacks

Against His anointed One"

I'm sorry if you don't like it, but it's straight out of Psalm 2. Read verses 1-4, it's pretty clear what inspired this song.

Personally, I find it comforting that the Lord can look down and laugh at the scheming of people who wish to remove Him from every aspect of life, because He KNOWS how it all turns out in the end.

[unsplintered]

@TheSpinWorld the same as God laughs at the wicked cause he knows their day is coming, not a good sign if your pride causes God to laugh at you, lol

[DaughterJennifer]

Great song, ty for posting. God bless. :)

[dubknight99]

I love this song its so inspirational

[RPftw]

actually, that's a keyboard, but it is pretty cool :)

[KameronID]

Besides the message, the best thing of the song is the flute part (heard at the beginning.)

[MrTerminator26]

i have been a big fan of rich mullins because i grew up hearing his songs play on the radio and he is by far one of the greatest christian artists i have looked up to, im sorry he died the way he did but at least he is with jesus.

[MzTNY]

I am new to the Rich Mullins following having only recently heard about him through my Pastor who is leading me to Jesus. What a great artist, and no man more deserving of Gods Love, than Rich.

[56red5656]

God bless you!! I wish you the best. You can't get much better that Rich Mullins' music.

[AsTheDeer]

Dearest, none of us deserves God's love. Rich deserved it as much as you and I do.

God bless from Bulgaria

[willyrobinson]

great song from a greatly talented and diverse musician.

[ABWorsham4]

His music has always helped lift me to a condition of worship.

[CGomer39]

What happened to that CD that got published shortly after his death? What is it called? I think it is green.

[JoshDWilbur]

You might be thinking of "The Jesus Record", a two-disc set released on July 21, 1998. The first disc is a collection of rough demos that Rich had recorded in perparation for recording a new album.

The second disc is all of the same songs arranged and performed by the "Ragamuffin Band", in conjunction with many leading CCM artists, many of whom had been friends with and worked with Rich. It's more or less a Rich Mullins tribute, with some now-familiar songs. And yes... it's green.

[aterg88]

@CGomer39 I think you are thinking of "Songs 2"

That's one of my favorite Rich Mullins albums :)

[aterg88]

@CGomer39 "Songs 2"

Awesome CD :)

[unsplintered]

@aterg88 that used to be my account, its still up but im unsplintered now.,

[aterg88]

@CGomer39 Songs 2

Awesome CD :)

out running around today had Songs in the CD player, this song really stood out with the times and news each day, still a real blessing...was at a Michael W Smith concert at Carowinds the day Rich died.

[longtimin]

Before the concert he came out with an acoustic by himself and played 1 brief Mullins song, I dont think anyone knew what was going on,He went back, never said anything, then they all came out and did the concert..think of it often, his music had a serious impact on me, God used it to help me understand a little more of Him Thanks for the post, thanks Rich...

[JoshDWilbur]

I'm surprised he kept it together, they were friends, not just artists in the same genre who knew each other.

Later he wrote a song for Rich, and adopted a lot of his songs into the worship segment of live performances.

[katmikell]

I heard this today for the first time in years and I just love the message. It is a reminder that the things of earth will all fall to dust but HE will always remain Victorious!

[RNParamedic03]

Thanks for posting this! This song, along with the rest of his body of work, is fantastic. No matter what else happens, the Faith and the Church of God remains, and check out Isa. 11:6, 8-9. I did not come back to the Faith until after he died, but I get the impression that he must have been some kind of modern day prophet!
