The Lord our God An original song written and recorded by Rev. Peter T. Atkinson Based in and inspired by reading in Deuteronomy Please subscribe and share! Inspired by the Book of Deuteronomy, and this song is connected to the idea of the Covenant as depicted there: the notion of the Lord God being the Lord "your" or "our" God. The possessive pronoun depicts an understanding of the Covenant and what God is doing out of his devotion. Look at Deuteronomy 29: 9-13 9 Carefully follow the terms of this covenant, so that you may prosper in everything you do. 10 All of you are standing today in the presence of the Lord your God—your leaders and chief men, your elders and officials, and all the other men of Israel, 11 together with your children and your wives, and the foreigners living in your camps who chop your wood and carry your water. 12 You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the Lord your God, a covenant the Lord is making with you this day and sealing with an oath, 13 to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. “The Lord our God” I pray to the Lord our God for his forgiveness That he may look beyond our sinful ways That his love will endure As it has before In mercy, love, according to his willing grace I bow to the Lord our God for he is mighty His arm providing all we’d ever need His power knows no end And when it does descend His mercy, love, is written on his face His glory and his grace lie all around us His majesty and mercy abide through all that is May humility and love forever ground us May our hearts find their selves entwined with his May the Lord God, be the Lord our God. I know that in the Lord I am not worthy And look around and see no one that is How could we e’er deserve When we hesitate to serve Him fully with our heart and strength and soul Your glory and your grace lie all around us Your majesty and mercy abide for all is yours May humility and love forever ground us May our hearts find their selves entwined yours May You Lord God, be the Lord our God. We find our strength in you Inspiring all we do when fall down to our knees and humbly ask you please We find ourselves face to face Within the embrace of your grace for Your glory. . .
