Story behind the song
Once again this was a tricky prayer to set to music. I was really pleased with the results in the end though.
Lyrics
Te deum laudamus praise God. We’re naming You the Living Lord For all creation bows to you Our everlasting Father. The choirs of angels seranade You The heavens and the heavenly powers The Cherubim and Seraphim Cry out aloud. Holy, holy holy God of power and might Heaven and earth are full Of the majesty of You. The prophets and apostles praise You The martyrs in their shining robes Your church throughout the globe adores you Father majesty immense Together with your one unique Son And Holy Spirit, comforter. You are the King of Glory, Christ The unending Father’s son. LiIberating humans Not shy’ve a virgins womb Conquering death And opening Heaven to all who trust. You’re sitting at the Father’s right hand In glory shining from His face And we believe You’ll come and judge The human race. We ask You now, come help Your servants The ones you saved with Your own blood To count them with your saints In glorious everlasting love. Lord, come save your people Bless your heritage Govern them And lift them up to eternity. Day by day we bless You. Praise Your name on Earth. To the age of ages both now and evermore. Guard us Lord and keep us Free from sin today God have mercy on us O Lord have mercy Rain your mercy on us As we trust in You. In you God I trust Never leave me far from You. Never leave me far from You.
