Inspired after psalm 46 and the ongoing situation with COVID19
lyrics
verse 1
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help
in moments of trouble like this
in distress and fright
Even when the mountains quake
and the waters roar, I have no fear
A pandemic has come to destroy my flesh.
But my heart is assured in God, safely abides.
I gather power from above.
So I shall never be afraid.
The Lord Almighty walks with me.
Chorus
Oh come and see the deeds of God on the earth
He breaks the spear and the bow.
He burns the shields with fire.
Be still and know I am God,
the ruler of all nations
The God of Jacob is with us, amen.
Verse 2
The City of God stands on Holy Ground
And God will help her at the break of dawn.
Nations roar and kingdoms fall.
But the voice of God resounds,
and all the earth begins to shake.
Amen, amen, amen
Bridge
Let the people say amen
Let the righteous say amen
Let the sinner say amen
Let the choir say amen
Let God's children say amen
Let the redeemed say amen
Let the brothers say amen
Let the sisters say amen
Let the children say amen
Let the Jewish say amen
Let the Christian say amen
Everybody, say amen
