Let the Blessing Travel On

[Intro - Piano; handclaps and syncopated guitar] [Verse 1 - Bubba, male solo] Let Your mercy rest upon us, Let Your face give light today; So the farthest lands can witness How You save and how You lead. Let the goodness You have given Tell a story past our door; Let the nations learn Your pathway, Let them know You more and more. [Chorus - Duet and congregation] Let the blessing travel on, Let the earth take up the song; Every people, every nation, To Your praise we all belong. You will judge the world with justice, Guide the nations where they stand; Let the blessing travel on, Let Your praise fill every land. [Verse 2 - Darlene, female solo] Let the nations sing with gladness, Underneath Your righteous care; You will govern without crookedness, There is truth in what You declare. Earth has brought her harvest forward, God, our God, has blessed us here; May the ends of earth behold You, Learn to worship, learn to fear. [Instrumental Break - Tenor sax over gospel-funk rhythm] [Bridge - Bubba, rhythmic spoken; Darlene answers] [Bubba] Not a blessing boxed away, [Darlene] Let the people see Your way. [Bubba] From the harvest to the shore, [Darlene] Let the whole earth praise the Lord. [Final Chorus - Duet and congregation] Let the blessing travel on, Let the earth take up the song; Every people, every nation, To Your praise we all belong. You will judge the world with justice, Guide the nations where they stand; Let the blessing travel on, Let Your praise fill every land. [Outro - All] Every people, every nation, Let Your saving way be known.
