Oh, Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty
God of love, please, look down and see my people through

I believe that God put sun and moon up in the sky

Do unto others as you would have them do to you

Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty
God of love, please, look down and see my people through

I believe God is now, was then, and always will be
With God's blessing we can make it through eternity

Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty
God of love, please, look down and see my people through
