A Nation Unknown
Copyright 2009 by Jon Gill
See Isaiah 55.

In so many ways
I wasn't ready at all
But I left my home
Because I heard Your call
To a nation unknown
To a people unheard
For a purpose unearthly
With only Your word

You called to offer forgiveness
You called to offer me grace
I came to drink for Your rivers
I came to look on Your face.

For many dark years
We've lived in the night
But now we are rushing
Toward a brilliant light
To a nation unknown
We're a people unheard
For a purpose united
By only Your word

You called to offer forgiveness
You called to offer us grace
We come to drink from your rivers
We come to look on your face.

Now the trees clap their hands
As they choke out the weeds
And the mountains all cry out
As You take the lead
For these nations You've known
For the people You've heard
For Your purpose restoring
Us all with Your word

You came to offer forgiveness
You came to offer us grace
We've come to drink from Your rivers
We've come to look on Your face

Your ways are higher than our ways
You have the best point of view
Your words will not return empty
You bring the nations to You!
