From the rising of the sun to the sun goes down
Let the name of the Lord be praised
We’re gathered to worship ,becoming a choir to sing your praise
Lifting our voices ,joining our hearts in this house today
People of God in the power of God , for the kingdom of God we sing
We’re gathered to go out to cities and towns
We’ll take your name into the nations,
Shining your light in the darkest place
people of God ,in the power of God ,
For the kingdom of God , we live
