We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes
From evil things
Oh Lord we cast down our idols

So give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh God let this be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
Oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob

We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes
From evil things
Oh Lord we cast down our idols

So give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Give us clean hands--Oh God
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
Oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob

Oh God of Jacob

I love this song, by far one of the most touching worship songs for me, personally. I'm pretty sure I can narrow it down to the last part of the chorus, when the song cries out to the "God of Jacob". When I consider God in terms of his faithfulness to the "heroes" of the old testament, I remember that his faithfulness didn't end when the last book of the old testament was completed. He is still the faithful God of Jacob, Moses, Joshua, and David, to this day. He is the mighty God who wiped out the armies of Egypt when they threatened his people. He is the mighty God who parted the red sea, Who sent manna from Heaven to provide for his children, and caused the walls of Jericho to fall to the ground. Hearing this song reminds me that my God is faithful and mighty. And I can call out his name asking for purity and diligence in seeking his face, and he will hear me...and answer.

Psalm 24:1-10
