Ryan J Miller - Zechariah's Song Lyrics

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
For He has worked favorably on His people and redeemed them
He has raised up a mighty Savior for us
In the house of His servant David

As He spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from of old
That we would be safe from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us
Thus He has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors
And has remembered His holy covenant

The oath that He swore to our ancestor Abraham
To grant us that we, being rescued from the hands of our enemies
Might serve Him without fear
In holy lilies and righteousness before Him all our days

And you, my child, will be called the prophet of the Most High
For you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways
To give knowledge of salvation to His people
By the forgiveness of their sins

By the tender mercy of our God
The dawn from on high will break upon us
To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death
To guide our feet into the way of peace
