Kenaniah - Petra

Kenaniah

Words by Bob Hartman, John Lawry, and Danny Kingen

Based on 1 Chronicles 15:22,27

Kenaniah of the Levites appointed by the king

To teach the songs of Zion, to lead them as they sing

Your song is not forgotten, we hear it in our souls

Let it burn and burn within us

And fan the sacred coals

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, we will sing your ancient song

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, we will sing it loud and strong

Gathered for the battle, Kenaniah led the way

As the singers closely followed him, they all began to pray

The musicians all assembled, Kenaniah gave the word

Through the raging battle zone, the anthem could be heard

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, we will never let it die

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, we must lift it to the sky

Sing unto Jehovah of His wondrous ways

Sing a song of triumph, sing a victory song

And in the cloud of witnesses, Kenaniah sings along

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, through the ages it will ring

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, to Jehovah we will sing
