Verse 1 (Psalm 81:1–5)

Sing aloud to God, our strength,

Shout with joy at length.

Sound the trumpet, raise the song,

Lift His praises all day long.

Chorus (Psalm 81:6–10)

I am the Lord, your God, your Guide,

I led you out, with love and might.

If you would listen, hear my voice,

Your heart will rejoice, your soul rejoice.

Verse 2 (Psalm 81:11–13)

But they would not obey my call,

They wandered far, chose to fall.

Oh, that my people would believe,

And in my peace, their hearts receive.

Then I would feed you finest grain,

With honey from the rock, sustain.

I am your God, your shield, your friend,

With blessings rich that never end.

Sing for joy, O Israel,

Rejoice and hear His voice well.

Open wide your heart today,

God will fill and guide your way.
