8-9. God-of-the-Angel-Armies, listen:O God of Jacob, open your ears—I’m praying!Look at our shields, glistening in the sun,our faces, shining with your gracious anointing.
10-12. One day spent in your house, this beautiful place of worship,beats thousands spent on Greek island beaches.I’d rather scrub floors in the house of my Godthan be honored as a guest in the palace of sin.All sunshine and sovereign is God,generous in gifts and glory.He doesn’t scrimp with his traveling companions.It’s smooth sailing all the way with God-of-the-Angel-Armies.
