The Lord gives food for a reason
“When you have eaten and are full, you shall bless the Lord your God for all the good land which He has given you.” - Deut 8:10 (AMPC) / “And He will love you, bless you, and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of you land, your grain, your new wine, and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock in the land which He swore to your fathers to give to you.” - Deut 7:13 (AMPC)
VERSEThe Lord gives food for a reason
Grown on rainy days and in sunny seasons
The Lord gives food for a reason
To make us strong, when the journey’s long, so
CHORUS
Bless the land where it grows
Bless the hand from which has sown and
Bless the land and the sea
Bless the reaper, the harvest keeper
Make Your purpose be known
In our bodies, our hearts and our home
Lord, make Your purpose be known
In our bodies, our hearts and our home
VERSEDie Here gee kos vir ‘n rede
Kos wat groei in reën en in sonnige streke
Die Here gee kos vir ‘n rede
Want dit maak ons sterk vir die harde werk, so
CHORUS
Seën die plaas waar dit groei
Seën die boer, keer ‘n son wat skroei en
Seën die land en die see
Beskerm die diere, die visse, die miere
Maak U wil in ons tuis
In ons lyfies, ons harte en huis.
Heer, maak U wil in ons tuis
In ons lyfies, ons harte en huis.
