A Holy Nation by Paul Smith (USA) Lyrics

We are His people
A chosen generation
Strangers in this foreign land
Our time now has come
To face the final challenge
To show a doubting world
That He is all we say
And all we claim

Together we are called
To be a holy nation
Each of us a living stone
Fashioned by His hand
Together one and all
We must be a holy nation
The heart of our living Lord
Here in this land

In love and courage
Unwanted and outnumbered
Dedicated to be different
We now must stand
To leave no doubt or question
Who it is we serve
Who sustains us by His power
Together we are called
To be a holy nation
Each of us a living stone
Fashioned by His hand
Together one and all
We must be a holy nation
The heart of our living Lord
Here in this land

The One once rejected
Has now become for all a sure foundation
His children united we must rise
To burn these walls of compromise
And build a fortress of commitment

Together we are called
To be a holy nation
Each of us a living stone
Fashioned by His hand
Together one and all
We must be a holy nation
The heart of our living Lord
Here in this land
