(Nordic/Viking Arrangement — steady drum rhythm, male choral verses, female ethereal chorus) [Intro – Low Drums Begin, Rowers Chant Softly] Thoom… Thoom… Thoom… Voices rise with the wind over water. Verse 1 — The Men (deep, rhythmic chant) We raise our song to the Lord Most High, O Maker of thunder and sea! Our enemies fall like foam on the tide, Their power is broken, their banners flee. You judged with truth, You sat on the throne, The proud are scattered, the weak made known. Our oars beat steady, our hearts are flame— We row in the strength of Your name! Chorus 1 — The Goddess Voice (soaring, echoing over drums) Oh Lord of the storm and sun, Your mercy like rivers run. From mountain, sky, and wave, You lift the hearts You save. Verse 2 — The Men (stronger, unified rhythm) The nations rage, their kingdoms fall, Their idols sink beneath the foam. But You, O Lord, remember all— The poor, the lost, the far from home. You lift the broken from the mire, You set the hearts of widows on fire. Our war cries fade, but Your truth remains, Forever the Lord who reigns! Chorus 2 — The Goddess Voice (with echoing harp tones) Sing, children of dust and flame, His justice and His name. Though tempests roar and rise, His glory fills the skies. Bridge — The Men (soft, reverent, slow row beat) When darkness covers the deep, And we row through the shadowed sea, We trust the hand unseen— The God who remembers me. Final Chorus — Male & Female Together (powerful harmonies) Oh Lord of the storm and sun, Your mercy like rivers run. From mountain, sky, and wave, You lift the hearts You save. The hammer falls, the drums resound, Your kingdom stands, the lost are found. The sea is Yours, the sky, the stone— The hearts of men are Your throne. [Outro – Drums Fade, Sea Wind, Voices Distant] Thoom… Thoom… “Forever the Lord reigns…”
