lyrics

~~~~~~~
CEILIDH
~~~~~~~
The Lord is our God
He has called us His own
at a place in our nation where beauty has grown
it's time to reap what our prayers have sown
the wayward, they are coming home

we’ve tuned our guitars
we have rosined our bows
our family has gathered before Your throne
wake up o sleeper, come to your feet
the righteous sing out turning darkness to dawn

Shout to the Lord you coastal shores
make some noise you islands
a sound of praise and a song of joy
rises up from eastern lands

Our country was formed from this fertile ground
the meeting of minds knew the Spirit's sound
saying lay a foundation no man can take down
a nation where Jesus is crowned

We’ve plowed in our fields
we have harvested trees
we've cast out our nets to the ocean's breeze
praying, "Spirit of God, blow across these seas"
the nations are ours they will fall at your feet

And when they prayed He came
Lord hear our prayer
