The Will of the Lord Be Done

INTRO (guitar and pedal steel) VERSE 1 We sailed from Miletus to Tyre, And knelt to pray upon the sand; The Spirit warned of what was waiting, Yet Paul set his face to the land. At Caesarea, Philip's daughters, Prophesied in house and prayer; Then came the prophet Agabus And took Paul's belt and bound him there. VERSE 2 "So shall the Jews in Jerusalem Bind the man who owns this belt." We begged him not to go up there, And wept for all the grief we felt. CHORUS "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, But even to die in Jerusalem For the name of the Lord Jesus." And when he would not be persuaded, We ceased and said with one tongue: The will of the Lord be done, The will of the Lord be done. VERSE 3 The brothers met him gladly, And praised God for all he told; But in the temple a crowd was stirred, And seized him, rough and bold. They dragged him out to kill him, Till the Roman soldiers came; And bound in chains upon the stairs, He asked to speak the Name. FINAL CHORUS OUTRO The will of the Lord be done.
