Album: Sanctuary
Now and for always it is written
Penned by the loving hand of God
My people perish without vision, they go astray
And when a man makes it his mission
To go where others have not trod
Into the valley of decision to show the way
Of Him they'll say
Chorus:
They'll say ,“Hallelujah! Blessed is the man with a vision
Hallelujah! One who delights in God's Word
Hallelujah! He is a lover of Jesus
Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord”
And in the midst of tribulation
He will stand steadfast and secure
Gracious is he who shows compassion in all his ways
And when his hands are filled with riches
They're still extended to the poor
This one will bless his generation all of his days
And they will say, they'll say
Chorus
And in a world turned cold & heartless
And at a time we've lost our way
He is a beacon in the darkness
And all who hear of Him will say, they'll say
Chorus
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord!
