NEHEMIAH – With a Sword in Hand by Bro H

Verse 1 I heard the walls were broken down The gates consumed with flame I sat and wept before my God And bore Jerusalem’s shame I fasted through the falling night And prayed toward His throne For the city of my fathers’ bones Could not stand alone Verse 2 The king beheld my heavy face And asked the cause I bore I breathed a prayer to heaven’s court Then spoke what burned me sore He sent me forth with written leave And timber by decree Not by the will of foreign thrones But Yahweh strengthening me Chorus So we rose to build the wall again Stone by measured stone With a sword in one hand, tool in the other Standing not alone We remembered Yahweh in the dust When fear came closing in For the work was His, the city His And the breach would close again Verse 3 They mocked us from the broken hills They laughed our labor down But every prayer we lifted up Set watchmen on the ground The trumpet stood beside my side To call the men to stand For the battle was not only flesh But truth within the land Verse 4 From dawn until the stars returned The builders did not cease We guarded hearts and guarded gates And kept the Sabbath peace No gold for gain, no brethren sold No mixing seed allowed The law was read, the people agreed Their heads before Him bowed Final Chorus And the wall was finished in its time By mercy not by might For Yahweh fought the unseen war While we stood watch by night Let every generation know When breaches rise again The work stands firm when men obey And walk the narrow end
