Song for the National Day of Prayer
Lyrics
THOSE WHO HONOR ME (I WILL HONOR)
Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Mark E. Ellis
We’ve departed from the truths of old
Chipped away at the sacred trust
And did what seemed right in our own eyes
Forgetting we’re children of dust
With willing hands we built our idols
Proclaimed one nation over God
All of us masters of destiny
And we marveled that You didn’t applaud.
CLIMB
Now we’re reaping the harvest we deserve
For an appetite for sin left uncurbed
And I hear heaven cry:s
CHORUS
Those Who Honor Me, I Will Honor
Return to me once more
I’ll renew, restore
I hear heaven cry:
Those Who Honor Me, I Will Honor
Confess your pride, your sin
And I’ll heal you once again
Oh, we’ve removed the ancient landmarks
The signs of the Lord’s hand of grace
Calling good evil and evil good
As our wicked plans moved apace
Lying naked in our stubborn sin
Clinging tightly to all we possess
With blood on our hands and lies on our lips
And believing that the Lord will still bless.
REPEAT CLIMB
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Lord, forgive the times we brought You shame
Forgive our crimes, let us honor Your name
INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT CHORUS
