Lyrics
We Have a Strong City
(from Isaiah 26)
Verse 1
You will keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on you,
Trust in the Lord for ever,
for in the Lord is everlasting strength.
REFRAIN
We have a strong city,
Open the gates, that the righteous nation,
may enter in.
Verse 2
With my soul, I have desired you in the night,
with my spirit, I will seek you early,
for when your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants will learn righteousness.
REFRAIN, then bridge
Bridge
O Lord our God, other lords, beside you,
have had dominion over us,
but by you only, will we make mention of your name.
REFRAIN
Verse 3
As a woman with child, that draws near
the time of her delivery,
We have been in pain,
We have not wrought deliverance in the earth.
REFRAIN, repeat with alternate melody and chords
