Be Our Strength (Shout to God)

from This Time Tomorrow by Ian Peacock

/

about

Borrowing from the sentiment of the author of Ecclesiastes, 'There is a time for sorrow and a time for joy', this song is not meant to be a flippant encouragement to 'smile and praise the Lord' in spite of what we are going through, pretending it's not happening. Rather, it's a reminder that, no matter how bad life gets, there is always something to give thanks to God for, and that in the process, we can find strength.

lyrics

Be Our Strength (Shout To God)

Verse 1
There’s a time for weeping and there’s a time to mourn
But now is not that day, now is not that day
There’s a time for grieving and there’s a time to cry
But now is not that day, now is not that day

Bridge
Today I’ll decide to firmly fix these eyes upon the author of our faith
And today I’ll give thanks, whatever the circumstance
And offer the Lord heartfelt praise

Chorus
Shout to God, all the people sing, let the sound of praises ring
For the Lord has done great things and may we rejoice in him always
Everyday may an anthem rise, spread the gospel of Jesus Christ
In the valleys and through the trials
Come let the joy of the Lord now be our strength

Verse 2
There’s a joy for sinners that we can’t explain
It stands in spite of pain, like sunshine through the rain
There’s a hope within us that we can’t contain
Assist us to proclaim the glories of your name

Middle 8
I will sing of your love in the morning, your faithfulness in the night
You have filled this poor soul with gladness and the strength to fight
