A Holy Nation
Paul Smith
We are His people A chosen generation Strangers in this foreign land Our time now has come To face the final challenge To show a doubting world That He is all we say And all we claim Together we are called To be a holy nation Each of us a living stone Fashioned by His hand Together one and all We must be a holy nation The heart of our living Lord Here in this land In love and courage Unwanted and outnumbered Dedicated to be different We now must stand To leave no doubt or question Who it is we serve Who sustains us by His power Together we are called To be a holy nation Each of us a living stone Fashioned by His hand Together one and all We must be a holy nation The heart of our living Lord Here in this land The One once rejected Has now become for all a sure foundation His children united we must rise To burn these walls of compromise And build a fortress of commitment Together we are called To be a holy nation Each of us a living stone Fashioned by His hand Together one and all We must be a holy nation The heart of our living Lord Here in this land
