Let the ministers weep (There is something in the distance)
Let the ministers weep (There is something in the distance)
by Joel Howard
There is something in the distance
There's a battle raging on and on
There is something here between us
There is something here between us
O Lord of heaven to you we cry
O Lord of heaven to you we cry
There is something in the distance
Can you hear the faint cry?
There is something marching towards us
There is something marching for us
O heaven!
O heaven!
Deliver us from evil we pray
O heaven!
O heaven!
Deliver us from evil today
O heaven!
O heaven!
Deliver us from evil we pray
O heaven!
O heaven!
Deliver us from evil today
And we pray for the preachers
And we pray for the children
And we cover the teachers
And we cover the children
And we pray for the future
And we pray for our households
And we pray in the battle
It will not overtake us!!
O church arise!!
O church arise!!
Lord deliver us from evil!
Deliver us from evil
Deliver us, deliver us
We pray
