LYRICS
May your love be upon us, O Lord As we place all our hope in you.
Faithful is the word of the Lord And all his works to be trusted The Lord loves justice and right And fills the earth with his love.
The Lord looks on those who revere him On those who hope in his love To rescue their souls from death To keep them alive, keep them alive!
My soul is waiting for the Lord The Lord is my help and my shield May your love be upon us, O Lord As we place all our hope in you!
