Israel we love you
Text and music ~ Anne Mari Heimdal Edlers ~ January 2008
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob’s heirs ~ The Lord our God is One
Zion, Judah, Ephraim ~ Your land of hope is shining like the sun
Israel we love you ~`Cause of you we’re saved
Grateful we receive ~ The heritage you gave
We as your wild branches ~ Bless you in Gods name
We will stand beside you ~`Till the end of time
We love you ~ We bless your land
We pray Gods plans for you will be fulfilled
Thank you for Messiah ~ That from you were born
Truly we acknowledge ~ You’re God’s chosen one
Deeply we regret ~ We’ve tried to take your place
Now, ask for your forgiveness ~ As friends to you we say
We love you ~ We bless your land
We pray Gods plans ~ For you will be fulfilled
The fig tree now is blooming ~ He stands in the door
We trust God for His promise ~ The land is all yours!
Israel you are a miracle from God
If anyone attacks you ~ God of gods will rise
We love you ~ We bless your land
We pray Gods plans ~ For you will be fulfilled
God will bring you home from the ends of the earth
Gather you, and rescue His lambs from afar
The Lord our God’s not angry ~ He’s forgiven you
All your sins are paid ~ He’ll restore you anew
He’s your friend ~ And he’ll keep on protecting you
You are His treasure ~ Gods own property
He has not forsaken you ~ He’s the faithful One
He will not abandon you ~ Hear what He says
I’m the Lord ~ Who says to you ~ Fear not ~ I will help you
I’m the Lord ~ Your holy One ~ The creator of Israel ~ Your King
I love you ~ I bless My land ~ And still I say
My plans will be fulfilled in you, Jerusalem. |
