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.
