('Hark my soul, it is the Lord')

2 Chronicles 20 v.12 - 25 parts

*********

The prophet Jahaziel

Did speak unto Judah all

When enemy did surround

Them, in troubles they were found

Prophet said, hearken to me

And King Jehoshaphat [of Judah] see

Thus says the Lord unto you

You have prayed,  i heard you true

Be not afraid nor dismayed

By enemy host arrayed

For the battle is not yours

But God's, vic'try He ensure

They went out, did sing praise to

The Lord, their faith did renew

Their enemies the did fight

Among themselves and took flight

So the Lord did answer prayer

Heard the words that were prayed there

O our God, will you not judge

Them, though they seem not to budge

For we have no might against

This great company, we hence

Know not what to do, but our

Eyes are on you and your power
