Broken First (Psalm 2) | Acoustic Song Rooted in Scripture — Rega #PS2

A quiet song born from one honest question: "He will break them with a rod of iron" — isn't that cruel? Copying Psalm 2 by hand, I couldn't move past verse 9. The kings of the earth rise up, scheme together, cry "let us break these chains" — and God answers not with a shield, but with an iron scepter that dashes them like pottery. I asked it plainly: God isn't cruel. Jesus isn't cruel. So what is this? Searching through the rest of Scripture for an answer, I found this — the invitation always comes before the judgment ("ask of me," verse 8, before "you will break them," verse 9). And then the deepest part: the same King who holds the rod of iron is the one who, at the cross, was struck and broken first. Not a tyrant I feared, but a King who bled so the chains could break differently — from the inside. Lyrics written by me, straight out of daily Bible study. Music composed and performed with Suno AI.
