BEHIND THE LYRICS
Secret of the Lord
S ecret of the Lord” is a song about finding courage and hope; encouraging and lifting us through difficult times. This echoed in the lyrics saying “If you hope in the Lord, He will renew your strength.” When we are out of our depths, and on a narrow path, feeling lost and hopeless; with nowhere to turn…God hears our cries.
Whatever the situation… Just hold tight. God will show up. God’s covenant to care for His people stands the test if time and He will respond in season if we humble ourselves and pray. He will ‘hear from Heaven… and heal our land!’

They will walk walk and not be faint (walk and not be faint)
They will soar on wings like eagles.
The truth lies in reading the word (reading the word)
Chorus 1
If my people called by my name, should humble themselves and get down and pray
Turn from their wicked ways and seek my face (se-eek my face ooh)

Verse 3
Itβs written in the word, seek he first the kingdom of God
And his righteousness,
Everything shall be added onto you

And place your feet on higher ground
You will stand firm and not be consumed
My God he will make you brand new (so brand new)
