lirik lagu okoye david ikechukwu - o god who created us
“be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to god” philippians 4:6
1.———————~7.6.6.6.7.7.6
o god who created us
your creatures bow with awe;
we bow before your throne
salute your majesty
not being anxious in all things;
our petitions and prayers
we lay down before you
chorus:
all that we asked, god heard them all
he will reply and we will praise his name
2
when troubles come disturbing
you bid us cast our care;
no burden is too great
no sorrow you don’t see;
the father’s heart does hear us
each whispered need we do bring
you answer faithfully
3
when answers seem delaying
we trust your perfect way;
your wisdom guides each hour
your promise stands secure;
though night may hide your workings
the dawn will prove them anew
all prayers are answered
4
till faith gives way to our sight
and pray’er to endless praise
we’ll walk by what we trust
not by what we behold;
the day will come we will see
your yes, your wait, and your no
were mercies manifold
5
when time shall cease its turning
and earth shall pass away
with saints redeemed fore’er
in endless praise we’ll stay;
then face to face in glory
your perfect ways we will know
all mercies in display
