(Psalm 98)

Years ago, it was my prayer that Christ would return in 1998. All the conditions seemed right, and Psalm 98 describes the events that will occur on that Day. This is one of the more "jazz-rock" style tunes on the project and features a blazing guitar-like synth solo, and tricky time signatures. The overall theme is the joy that all of creation will experience when He comes... a theme reflected in the Psalm. By the way, the Christmas carol "Joy To The World" is also based on this Psalm.
