I wrote the music for this song and sent it to Larry in early 2021. He wrote most of the lyrics and I added a few lines. Rhesa Siregar created the musical accompaniment track and Peter Gringhuis sang the vocal tracks. As usual, it was a collaborative effort. - Elton, November 17, 2021



Lyrics

(Verse 1)
We have heard the Word that
long ago was spoken
He is Life, He is the Truth,
He is the Way
We are blessed beyond all measure
as His children
Let us follow where He leads us
each new day

(Chorus)
Every day we raise our hands
And we give thanks
for all the blessings that you send
As God's children and His heirs
His promise calls us
to a life that has no end
Now abiding in His presence
He's our Brother, He's our Savior,
He’s our Friend

(Verse 2)
There's a light that can’t be
hidden by the darkness
There's a hope that surely stands
against the tide
In His mercy and His grace
our life has meaning
In His presence
peace and joy can now abide

(Chorus)
Every day we raise our hands
And we give thanks
for all the blessings that you send
As God's children and His heirs
His promise calls us
to a life that has no end
Now abiding in His presence
He's our Brother, He's our Savior,
He’s our Friend

(Repeat Verse 1)
We have heard the Word that
long ago was spoken
He is Life, He is the Truth,
He is the Way
We are blessed beyond all measure
as His children
Let us follow where He leads us
each new day
