Be Glorified (Psalm 55)

[Intro: Shai Linne]
Psalm 55:22 says:
"Cast your burden on the Lord
And he will sustain you;
He will never permit
The righteous to be moved."
This is a promise from God
Purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ
And in this, God is glorified

[Verse 1: Chris Cobbins, Shai Linne]
Gracious God please hear our cry
(Hear our cry, Lord, hear our cry, Lord)
Restlessly we moan inside
(Moan inside, we moan inside)
Oppression makes us wonder why
(We wonder why, wonder why)
Be glorified (Be glorified)
Be glorified (Be glorified)

[Verse 2: Chris Cobbins, Shai Linne]
Hate surrounds us everyday
(Everyday y'all, true indeed)
If we had wings we'd fly away
(Fly, fly away, fly, fly away)
Find a place to rest and stay
(We need rest, Lord, we need rest)
Be glorified (Be glorified)
Be glorified (Be glorified)

[Interlude: Shai Linne]
From Him and through Him and to Him is everything
Surely to God be the glory alone
To God be the glory alone
From Him and through Him and to Him is everything
Surely to God be the glory alone
To God be the glory alone

[Verse 3: Chris Cobbins, Shai Linne]
In the city we see strife
(We see strife Lord, we see strife)
Violent disregard for life
(Violence in the city, violence in the city)
Lord, come down and make things right
(Come quickly, Lord, come quickly, Lord)
Be glorified (Be glorified)
Yeah (Be glorified)

[Verse 4: Chris Cobbins, Shai Linne]
Betrayed by foes we thought were friends
Cause godliness was just pretend (Yeah)
Lord, repay them for their sins
(Pay it back, Lord, pay it back)
Be glorified (Be glorified)
Be glorified (Be glorified)

[Flow: Shai Linne]
Yeah, yeah
We live in hard times, a diabolical era (Era)
God's enemy has caused psychological terror (Terror)
A few observations: it's the true God they hatin'
The plot of Satan to intoxicate the population
On the way to their graves, they're slaves (To who?)
To the prince of the power of the airwaves
His tunes are blasphemous, the fumes are hazardous
The masses get consumed, it's doom for the pacifist
We are not immune, we were goons and savages
The bridegroom snatched us from the tomb like Lazarus
So nowadays we conspire in the laboratory
Plotting ways for Messiah to grab the glory
It's mandatory, cause Jesus owns everything (Yes!)
We get to sing precious things when we rep the King
To those living hard Christian lives going through
I'm pointing you Psalm 55:22

[Verse 5: Chris Cobbins, Shai Linne]
Cast your burdens on the Lord
He will give strength to endure
(He gives strength, y'all, he gives strength, y'all)
You'll stand firm forevermore
(Stand firm, stand firm)
He's glorified (He's glorified)
He's glorified (He's glorified)

[Verse 6: Chris Cobbins, Shai Linne]
God is just He will repay (He will repay)
At the cross or on judgement day
Those who know Him love to say
Be glorified (Be glorified)
Be glorified (Be glorified)

[Outro: Shai Linne]
But I called to God
And the Lord will save me
He redeems my soul in safety from the battle that I wage
For many are berate against me
But you, oh God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction
Men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days
But I will trust in you, yeah
Be glorified
