The song God of Vengeance from Minister GUC’s album The Message stands out as a poignant and reflective piece. Released on 4 December, 2020, this track addresses the theme of divine retribution and justice. It portrays a deity who defends the oppressed and brings balance to injustice.
While many of GUC’s songs focus on worship and gratitude, this particular song delves into a different aspect of God’s character. The lyrics acknowledge a divine presence that acts as a consistent force for justice. The song finds its scriptural grounding in verses that speak of God’s role as a protector and avenger for His people.
“The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The Lord takes vengeance on his foes and stores up wrath against his enemies.” – Nahum 1:2
