OFFERTORY PSALM 46 Shane and Shane
O come behold the works of God the nations at his feet. He breaks the bow and bends the spear and tells the wars to cease. O Mighty One of Israel you are on our side. We walk by faith in God who burns the chariots with fire. (Chorus) Lord of Hosts, you're with us with us in the fire, with us as a shelter, with us in the storm. You will lead us through the fiercest battle, oh where else would we go, but with the Lord of Hosts.
O God of Jacob, fierce and great, You lift your voice to speak. The earth it bows and all the mountains move into the sea O Lord you know the hearts of men and still you let them live. O God, who makes the mountains melt come wrestle us and win. O God who makes the mountains melt come wrestle us and win. (Chorus) Though oceans roar, you are the Lord of all, the one who calms the wind and waves and makes my heart be still. Though the earth gives way, the mountains move into the sea, the nations rage, I know my God is in control. (Chorus)
