Lyrics
OH GOD
Paul L. Sell
Oh God, what have we done to Your Name (x2)
Well we stake our flag on a word or a phrase
To define our cause as the one to obey
Then we gather those who will come when we play
And adorn ourselves with the tithes that we pay
Oh God, what have we done to Your Name (x2)
So we speak all the words we were programmed to say
But the words can't erase all our hurt and our pain
So we join in the ranks of the lost and afraid
'Cause we just can't admit to this mess we have made
Oh God, what have we done to Your Name (x2)
The Name of our God is a fire
Consuming and ready for war!
The Name of our God is deliverance
For the captive, the outcast, the poor
The Name of our God is compassion
For the heart that is broken and low
It's the Name of our God
Not our do's and our don'ts
That the world is so desperate to know!
Oh God, what have we done to Your Name (x2)
