with the help of our God




So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days. And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.
Nehemiah 6:15-16

hard work is done
we finish what we've begun
the race is won
with the help of our God

we built a wall
strong and tall
and did not fall
with the help of our God

threats were made
nothing ever delayed
as workers stayed
with the help of our God

you can tell
conviction compelled
and we finished well
with the help of our God

enemies trembled in fear
for God was near
the hard work was here
with the help of our God

stone by stone
the wall has grown
and mercies were known
with the help of our God

established and strong
miracles moved us along
we can now sing a song
with the help of our God
