Ted Pearce - May the Nations Praise You lyrics

May God be merciful and bless us And may his face shine with favor upon us May his ways may be known throughout the earth Your saving power among people everywhere May the nations praise you, O God May all the nations praise you How glad the nations will be As they come singing for joy Because you govern them in justice And guide the nations of the earth God will bless us And people all over the world will revere Him Watchman: Let the mercy and favor fall upon us Like King David, a shepherd and a psalmist Trying to be honest and let my sins go Through a song and a sonnet Let the winds blow Your name be known on earth, people praise You Seeds are sown from birth Your word stays true Made new, the nations shout The sky is blue the top of the Temple Mount Your people praise You and shout for joy A violent noise like thunderclaps Lightning bolts and tidal waves slap The nations collapse, foundations crack The chief Cornerstone comes back His name is known to the ends of the earth The shofar is blown like A man made from dirt, a man made from dust In God we trust Your people praise You Your word remains true deep in a pit You came through a Hebrew in a dry and weary land In that day who can stand? Declare my steps and walk in light alone Seated on the throne The mercy that You've shown, the grace that You gave You conquered the grave Walking in the light of the free and the brave Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Is the Lord May the nations praise You, oh God
