Lyrics
I will pray rejoicing from my heart
(Pray rejoicing from my heart)
For in Him my victory’s lifted high
(His salvation is my cry)
He has overcome my enemies
(Our praises scorn the enemy)
I delight in His deliverance
(The Lord is our deliverance)
Pass the promise to our sons and daughters
God most high, God our Father, we bear witness
There is no one holy like the Lord
(Holy holy is the Lord)
Our Rock and refuge is our God
(All the earth belongs to God)
Do not speak with pride of noble deeds
(For the Lord will weigh our every deed)
See the strong have lost, the weak have gained
(And from the dust my life He raised)
Pass the promise to our sons and daughters
God most high, God our Father, we bear witness
He will guard the feet of faithful ones
(He will hold His faithful ones)
But the wicked they will not prevail
(Not by might will man prevail)
He is coming soon to judge the earth
(He is coming soon to judge the earth)
For the Lord gives power to His King
(All Strength to His Anointed King)
Pass the promise to our sons and daughters
God most high, God our Father, we bear witness

Devotional Thought
This song is all about passing something on to others. Passing on the promises of God. These are promises He has made as the One who reigns over all history and who will forever reign. He promised to send His Son, His anointed King, to be our Savior and we praise Him that He did. He promises that all who trust in Christ will know forgiveness and life and we praise Him that He does. He promises that one day Christ will return to judge the earth and set all things right and we praise Him that He will!
How can you pass this good news on? One of the greatest ways is to sing it out! In church when you gather with others but also as you go about your day. It will help bring these wonderful things about the Lord to mind and heart and give you words to share with others.
