I love this tune! This psalm just shouted out to me as I read it. This is a great tune to enjoy live and experience the audience being a part of the rejoicing! I can’t help imaging the feeling of Miriam and the ladies dancing and singing the song of Moses after the Exodus on the other side of the Red Sea. As you sing along remember: God wins! He is the ultimate winner!
Lyrics
Chant
Psalm 124
(It’s Broken and We’re Free!)
If not for ADONAI, Fighting on our side—Israel say it! If not for ADONAI, Fighting on our side,
Verse 1
When enemies rose to attack us,
Their anger blazing against us
If Adonai were not fighting on our side We’d have been swallowed up alive!
Chorus
Blessed be the Lord—He didn’t leave us
Blessed be the Lord—didn’t let the enemy eat us
We escaped like a bird from a trap, now it’s broken and we’re free Blessed be the Lord
Chant
If not for ADONAI, Fighting on our side—Israel say it! If not for ADONAI, Fighting on our side,
Verse 2
When flood waters would have engulfed us, Torrents looming upon us, If Adonai didn’t fight on our side
Raging water would have swept right over us.
