Oh Lord God of Israel
Your word never changes
Just as you blessed the house of Obed-Edom
Let your blessing remain with us today
Hmmm
When the ark of the covenant came to Obed-Edom's door
Three months of glory blessings evermore
Peace in the household favor in the land
The presence of God resting on his hand
The word went out to David
"The Lord has blessed that house today"
Because the Ark of the Lord was there
Grace and mercy filled the air
Let your blessing stay in our house O Lord
As we walk in the path of your holy word
Like Obed-Edom let our homes be filled
With peace and favor by your will
Bless our journey as we work for you
Give us strength to remain true
Let your presence never depart
Keep your covenant in our heart
But remember the day the Ark was moved
When human wisdom replaced God's truth
Placed on a cart and pulled by oxen
Ignoring the law the Lord had spoken
When Uzzah reached out his hand
Trying to steady what God had planned
The holiness of the Lord stood strong
Teaching the world that disobedience is wrong
Let your blessing stay in our house O Lord
As we walk in the path of your holy word
Like Obed-Edom let our homes be filled
With peace and favor by your will
Bless our journey as we work for you
Give us strength to remain true
Let your presence never depart
Keep your covenant in our heart
May we not repeat the mistakes of the past
But walk in wisdom that forever lasts
May our faith be steady and our hearts be pure
In the house of the Lord forever secure
Let our work be faithful our minds be clean
Serving the Lord with hearts unseen
And may the blessings of God overflow
To our children's children as the years go
Today we stand by the faith of those before
Our fathers and mothers who opened the door
