Lyrics

THE WORD OF THE LORD

You led me here into the desert sand, then you told me
You promised me a Promised Land, yes you told me
I humbly bow to your command
I know you have the upper hand
Listen now, and hear the word of the Lord

I didn’t want to listen, Lord, but you made me
You’ve got the power, the ways and means to persuade me
No, you don’t like to be ignored
That’s a cost that I can’t afford
Now I understand the weight of the word of the Lord

You’ve got the might, and might makes right
You’ve got the awesome holy light
Your love must be testified
Your kind of love cannot be denied
Love is the word of the Lord

I truly tried to do the things you told me
And I believed your angels’ wings would enfold me
My wife was weak, it was not her fault
Now I weep and kiss a pillar of salt
Lament, repent and hear the word of the Lord!

Now I’ve returned from the mountaintop; behold me
Gather round and I will speak of what He told me
Believe, beware, do not deny
What the prophets prophesy
They say He gives and He takes away
Which one will it be today?
If you’re willing to pay the price
It might require a little sacrifice
Take my advice, respect His mighty sword
O my children,
Hear the word, hear the word of the Lord
Fear the word of the Lord
Hear the word of the Lord
