A Refrain for the Nations

At that time tribute will be brought to the LORD of hosts from a people tall and smooth, from a people feared near and far, a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers divide, to Mount Zion, the place of the name of the LORD of hosts. 

Isaiah 18:7

No matter how great the name

of a nation's power

or how strong the personal fame

of any person's work

God is greater

and worthy of praise.

It makes no difference how good

they look

it does not help to have abundance of food

there found

God is greater

and worthy of praise.

A nation feared far and near

around the globe

still will fall down, bow and fear

The Lord

God is greater

and worthy of worship.

A large nation with stretching land

across a continent

cannot be stronger than God's hand 

and must fear Him

God is greater 

and worthy of worship.

Generals conquor and nations rage

exerting force

no matter their roles on history's stage

they are small

God is greater

and worthy of worship.
