Andrew Craig - For Lo! I Raise Up Lyrics




[ Featuring Danielle Toyer, Martin Toyer ]

For, lo! I raise up that bitter and hasty nation
Which march through the breadth of the earth
To possess the dwelling places that are not theirs
They are terrible and dreadful
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves
Their horses also are swifter than leopards
And are more fierce than the evening wolves
And their horsemen spread themselves
Yea, their horsemen come from far
They fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour
They come all of them for violence
Their faces are set as the east-wind
And they gather captives as the sand
Yea, he scoffeth at kings
And princes are a derision unto him
For he heapeth up dust and taketh it
Then shall he sweep by as a wind that shall pass over
And be guilty
Even he, whose might is his God
Art not thou from everlasting O Lord, my God mine Holy One?
We shall not die
O Lord, thou hast ordained him for judgement
And thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction
I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower
And look forth to see what he will say to me
And what I shall answer concerning my complaint
And the Lord answered me and said:
The vision is yet for the appointed time
And it hasteth toward the end and shall not lie:
Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea
But the Lord is in his holy temple:
Let all the earth keep silence before Him
