God’s Favor Will Shine

God’s grace washing over us
God’s favor will shine on us
healing us from within
when we answer his call

Out of his love
we are given new strength
to serve one another
to seek holy peace

Raising up our neighbors
walking in their shoes
helping one another
pushing on through

The trials easier
yoked with our Savior
freed from oppression
and the wages of sin

Offering them comfort
justice each day
working to change for the better
their walk every day
