This joyful song praises the true ruler of the earth: a God of justice and compassion who stands with the vulnerable of this world.

Hallelujah, I will praise the Lord as long as I live
I will sing praise to God with all of my being

I will trust not in rulers, they will pass into dust
But I will hope in the Lord our God, the one who will help

Hallelujah, I will praise the Lord as long as I live
I will sing praise to God with all of my being

Happy are those who hope in the God who redeems
The heavens, earth and seas belong to the Maker of all things

Hallelujah, I will praise the Lord as long as I live
I will sing praise to God with all of my being

To the poor God brings justice, to the hungry, a feast
Sets the prisoners free, meets the refugee, sing praise to the Lord

Hallelujah, I will praise the Lord as long as I live
I will sing praise to God with all of my being

The Lord lifts the lowly, to the stranger shows care
The widow and the orphan, God will never forsake

Hallelujah, I will praise the Lord as long as I live
I will sing praise to God with all of my being

God’s goodness and mercy never come to an end
Our God will reign forever, hallelujah, Amen

Hallelujah, I will praise the Lord
Hallelujah, I will praise the Lord
Hallelujah, I will praise the Lord, Hallelujah, Amen
