How shall we sing the Lord’s song in this strange land?
How shall we sing the Lord’s song in this strange land?
This endless desert, these golden sands,
this blue horizon, these green islands
How can we sing the song? How can we sing the song?
How shall we hear God’s story of this strange land?
How shall we hear God’s story of this strange land?
This timeless dreaming These rocks and bones
This wisdom people Their ancient home
How can we sing the song? How can we sing the song?
Come hear a new song Come hear a new song Come sing it loud Come sing it strong
How shall we cry God’s weeping for this strange land?
How shall we cry God’s weeping for this strange land?
This broken homeland These stolen years
Their hidden history This trail of tears
How can we cry the song? How can we cry the song?
How shall we live God’s story in this strange land?
How shall we live God’s story in this strange land?
With eyes wide open and gaping hearts
With truthful longing and stumbling start
How can we live the song? How can we live the song?
Come sing a new song Come sing a new song Come sing it loud Come sing it strong
How can we bring the Lord’s peace in this strange land?
How can we bring the Lord’s peace in this strange land?
With justice raining when poor are blessed
With love outpouring from east to west
How can we bring the song? How can we bring the song?
Come sing a new song Come sing a new song Come sing it loud Come sing it strong
Come sing a new song Come sing a new song Come sing it loud Come sing it strong
How shall we sing the Lord’s song in this strange land?
This endless desert, these golden sands,
this blue horizon, these green islands
How can we sing the song? How can we sing the song?
How shall we hear God’s story of this strange land?
How shall we hear God’s story of this strange land?
This timeless dreaming These rocks and bones
This wisdom people Their ancient home
How can we sing the song? How can we sing the song?
Come hear a new song Come hear a new song Come sing it loud Come sing it strong
How shall we cry God’s weeping for this strange land?
How shall we cry God’s weeping for this strange land?
This broken homeland These stolen years
Their hidden history This trail of tears
How can we cry the song? How can we cry the song?
How shall we live God’s story in this strange land?
How shall we live God’s story in this strange land?
With eyes wide open and gaping hearts
With truthful longing and stumbling start
How can we live the song? How can we live the song?
Come sing a new song Come sing a new song Come sing it loud Come sing it strong
How can we bring the Lord’s peace in this strange land?
How can we bring the Lord’s peace in this strange land?
