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!’

'Secret Of The Lord' Lyrics

Verse 1
The secret of the Lord lies in reading the word
If we hold on to the Lord
he will reveal his strength

Verse 2
Gracious will he be
When we turn and seek his help
And those who hope in the Lord
Will renew their strength

Link 1
They will run run and not get weary
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)
Then I will hear from heaven I will heal their land
and I will forgive their sins
If they turn from their wicked way-ees and seek my face (se-eek my face)

Verse 3
It’s written in the word, seek he first the kingdom of God
And his righteousness,
Everything shall be added onto you
If you open your heart
You will change your life around
You were lost and now you’re found
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)

Link 2
They will run run and not get weary
You will walk walk and not be faint- walk and not be faint
They will soar on wings like eagles.
Truth lies in reading the word (reading the word)
The truth lies in reading the word – (reading the word)

Chorus 2
If my people called by my name, should-a humble themselves and get down and pray
Turn from their wicked ways and seek my face yea (se-eek my face)
If they would only just seek my face (Heave-en)
I will hear from Heaven (Heal their land)
And I – I will forgive their sins – ( I will forgive them if they tu-urn)
Turn from their wicked ways and seek my fa-aace – (se-eek my face)

Chorus 3
If my people called by my name, should humble themselves – get down and pray
Turn from their ways and call on his na-ae-me and seek his face – (se-eek my face)
Then I will hear from heaven I will heal their land
I will forgive their si-ins – (I will forgive them if they tuu-rn)
Ah but they have to turn turn turn, and seek his fa-ae-ae-ce
(Se-eek my face)
