They looked up at the stars With godly fear in their hearts They thanked their God up above For revealing to them his love So you gave them your name A kingdom hope to proclaim They’re words preserved for our day They’re faithful words to show us the way They loved you from their heart And they were proud to play their part Approved by you to preserve your word Wrote it down so you would be heard Your word endures forever And your sayings are, oh, so deep The good news you declare is a breath of fresh air And your sayings I just want to keep Oh, whatever your enemies tried They could not silence you Your loyal ones who loved your word Kept their faith, integrity too And when they tried to ban their bibles They were prepared to give their lives For so strong was their faith and the witness they gave Not one of your words was erased And so your word endures forever And your sayings are, oh, so deep The good news you declare is a breath of fresh air And your sayings I just want to keep And you told us your name is jehovah In your word it’s plain to see So your name will endure, all your words will come true And we’ll praise you all of our days So your word endures forever And your sayings are, oh, so deep The good news you declare is a breath of fresh air And your sayings I just want to keep All of my days
