Unless the Lord lyrics

Unless the Lord

words and music: © Irene Bom

1. Unless the Lord builds the house
The labourers labour in vain
Unless the Lord guards the city
The watchmen guard it in vain.

Chorus:
O everybody, put your hope in the Lord
His love is unfailing
O everybody, put your hope in the Lord
Put your hope in the Lord.

2. Unless the Lord shows the way
We are sure to get lost
Unless the Lord gives us patience
We are sure to get cross.

(Repeat chorus)

3. Unless the Lord gives us strength
We won't last very long
Unless the Lord goes before us
Things are sure to go wrong.

(Repeat chorus)

Theme: Hope, trust, confidence in God
