As Long As the Sun

As Long As the Sun
Music by Steve Bell / Lyric by Steve Bell and Larry Campbell
adapted from Psalm 131 / Psalm 72
From the album Burning Ember

My heart is not proud
And neither my eyes oh Lord
I’ll not be concerned
With mysteries of life that are yet untold
But I am still and quiet is my soul
Like a child whose mother holds
Yes I am still
And just like a child is my soul

As long as the sun
As long as the moon
His justice shall reign
And cover the earth
And ever endure
And there shall be peace
From sea to sea
For as long as the sun
As long as the moon
Continue to be

Creation will bring
The good fruits of righteousness
My Lord will defend
And nations will call Him blessed
So I am still and quiet is my soul
Like a child whose mother holds
Yes I am still
For Israel’s hope is the Lord
