Let the Light of Your Face Shine Upon Us
Let the Light of Your Face Shine Upon Us
“6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.7 You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. 8 I will lie down and sleep in peacefor you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety." Psa 8:1 NIV
Let the light of Your face shine upon us
Fill our hearts with Your joy
May we lie down in peace
Both peace and safety may we enjoy
Because of Your great mercy
We bow down toward Your temple
Lead us Lord in Your righteousness
Make our enemies to stumble
Let the light of Your face shine upon us
Bathe us in Your righteous glory
Destroy the nations’ road map
For they know not Israel’s story
Cast all demonic powers
Completely out of sight
We’ll hold fast to your statutes
Bring Your whirlwind into the night
Let the light of Your face shine upon us
For we have returned unto You
Be merciful towards Your people
For the wicked have come into view
They are commissioned to destroy us
But You have the final say
Demonic powers are but dust
You have the power to blow away
Let the light of Your face shine upon us
Let us take refuge in You
For there’s no safer haven
From the two hundred million, not few
We trust in Your deliverance
For this is a spiritual war
Let the light from Your face shine upon us
It is You, Lord, forever we’ll adore.
