This morning we sang “Do It, Lord”, a worship song written by Tommy Walker. These lyrics have become very important to me very many different reasons. After watching this video where Tommy introduces the song and speaks about how the song is a prayer, (the video can be seen Here), I felt compelled to search scripture for the Biblical foundation between each rich and important phrase. The results are below:
Just as the waters, covering the sea
Hab 2:14 For the earth will be filled, with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
I see the millions, coming to salvation
I see revival, fire in the land
Acts 2:41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
I see the lost, nameless ones remembered
Psalm 139:1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
I see the widows, shouting out your praise
Psalm 68:4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the Lord; exult before him!
5 Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.
I see the friendless, loved and cele brated
Isaiah 41:8 But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend;
9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off”;
Orphans fullfilling Lord, your calling on their lives
Galatians 4:4 -7 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Do It Lord, do it lord
Do it Lord we are praying
Do it Lord, do it
That your glory may be seen
I see forgiveness over taking hatred
Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Pride and prejudice, now giving way to love
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
I see depression replaced with joy and gladness
Psalm 30:5B Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
And Satan’s lies, now bowing to the truth
John 8:31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Do It Lord, do it lord
Do it Lord we are praying
Do it Lord, do it!
That your glory may be seen
This is our prayer oh God
This is our desperate cry
In these days that were living now
Let your kingdom come
Let your will be done
I see the brokeness of families, brought to wholeness
I see the prodigals, running home to you
Father’s hearts, now turning toward their children
And the children’s hearts, turning toward the fathers
Luke 15:20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
I see your Church, all rising up in power
Laying down their lives in unity and love
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
I hear the sound of every tribe and nation
Giving glory to Jesus Christ the Son
Revelation 5:13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
