The First and the Last
Listen in silence before me
Oh lands beyond the sea
Bring your strongest arguments
Come now and speak
The court is ready for your case
Who has stirred up this one
From the east whom victory
Meets at every step?
It's I, the Lord, I'm the first and the last
God has given him victory
Over many nations
And permitted him
To trample kings underfoot
To put entire armies to the sword
Who has done such mighty deeds
Directing the affair of generations
Of mankind as they march by?
See all your angry enemies
Lie confused and shattered
Anyone opposing you will die
You will look for them in vain
They will all be gone
I am holding you by your right hand
I, the Lord your God
And I say to you, don't be afraid
Oh lands beyond the sea
Bring your strongest arguments
Come now and speak
The court is ready for your case
Who has stirred up this one
From the east whom victory
Meets at every step?
It's I, the Lord, I'm the first and the last
God has given him victory
Over many nations
And permitted him
To trample kings underfoot
To put entire armies to the sword
Who has done such mighty deeds
Directing the affair of generations
Of mankind as they march by?
See all your angry enemies
Lie confused and shattered
Anyone opposing you will die
You will look for them in vain
They will all be gone
I am holding you by your right hand
I, the Lord your God
And I say to you, don't be afraid
