Lyrics
Before the Dawn
Verse 1:
Before the cock crows, we will sing Your praise, Lord.
Before the sun comes up, we will dance for You, Lord.
Fill our hearts with Your Word, Jesus.
Fill the world with Your love, O Saviour.
Let Your kingdom come on earth.
Let the poor rejoice in Your sight.
Fill the land with Your love, Lord.
Fill the world with Your love, Redeemer.
Chorus:
Take our hearts, Lord; fill them with Your love, Lord.
Accept our praise, Lord; use it for Your glory.
Make us righteous, fit for Your kingdom.
We sing, Holy, holy is the Lord."
Verse 2:
Before the dawn, we glorify Your name.
Before the dawn, well bow before You, Lord.
Theres none above or below like You, Lord.
You reign forever, O holy Saviour.
From Africa and across the world, through the heavens and the depths of the sea,
You reign forever, O King of Kings.
Your name is Mighty and above it all. *Chorus*
Outro:
Who is like the Lord on High?
Whose garment heals those who stretch out their hands?
He alone brings all to life; He sits on His throne, wearing His majestic crown. (2x)
