Song by South Lake Worship Team on August 11, 2019 during Worship Service

HEAR GOD SINGING TO ME by Steven L. Johnson and E. Sherwin Mackintosh
Swahili translation by Catherine Bangeranye

Leader in bold
Congregation in plain text

Well I hear God singing to me
Ev’ry nation must be saved

Well I hear God singing to me
Ev’ry challenge must be braved

Oh I feel God’s Spirit in me
Quench it not too much at stake

Well I hear God singing to me
Hear God sing for Jesus’ sake
Hear God sing for Jesus’ sake

CHORUS
Well I hear
I hear God singing to me

Well I hear
I hear God singing to me

Yes I hear
I hear God singing to me

Oh I hear
I hear God singing to me

VERSE 1
I hear God singing and rejoicing
And I love my Father’s song
I hear God singing and He’s saying
Everyone should sing along
Righteous singing scares the devil
So let’s shout our anthems loud
A soldier choir in holy concert
Voices lifted faces bowed

VERSE 2
Gather us and start a movement
Scatter us we scatter seeds
Planting Christ in ev’ry nation
As our great crusade succeeds
Criticize us we grow stronger
Kill us and for sure we win
For our battle isn’t earthly
And our souls will never end
