Lyrics to "By the God of Jacob We Are Blessed"
Verse 1)
I will not trust in earthly kings
Their breath departs, like fleeting things
Their only strength is the strength of man
Who returns to the dust, along with his plans
My hope is anchored deep in You
You breathe new life, Your word is truth
And You, You formed the world, and made it right
Entered into the dark, and brought the light
Chorus
By the God of Jacob
We are blessed
O Christ, You execute justice
For the oppressed
Oh Christ the King
You reign forever
Our tongues confess
As we sing together
By the God of Jacob
We are blessed
Lord, You still set the prisoners free
You still opened the eyes of the blind
You still lift up the fallen
You feed the hungry, the Lord provides
So let all creation praise Your name
Your goodness and mercy, forever the same
Oh, hallelujah, let our voices raise
For in You (the Lord) alone, we find our endless praise.
