Song Lyrics: The Doing Of The Lord (ft. Mercy Chinwo) by Diana Hamilton
THE DOING OF THE LORD
Written by : Diana Hamilton
The pages of my life tell of Your Goodness.
Every chapter of my story show how You led me, Lord
I’m the handwriting of mercy by the Finger of the Lord
This is The Finger of The Lord, eii
You’ve been right here beside me,
Through the fire, Through the rain.
I didn’t burn, I didn’t drown
‘cause you were right by my side.
I am a living testimony of the Goodness of the Lord, eii.
This is The Doing of The Lord.
What shall I render in deed, what shall I render?
What shall I render to You, what shall I render?
Sɛ ɛnyɛ Nyame na ɛwɔ mafa aa, anka ɛnyɛ oo
(Had it not been the Lord on my side, where would I be?)
Ɛnyɛ Nyame na ɛhu me mmɔbɔ aa (Had the Lord not shown me mercy)
Ɛnyɛ Nyame na ɛwɔ mafa aa, (Had it not been the Lord on my side)
ɛnyɛ Nyame na ɔyɛ m’adom (Had it not been the Grace of God)
This is …This is The Doing of The Lord.
What shall I render in deed, what shall I render?
What shall I render to You, what shall I render?
Ɛnyɛ Nyame na ɛwɔ mafa aa, anka ɛnyɛ oo
(Had it not been the Lord on my side, where would I be?)
Sɛ ɛnyɛ Nyame na ɛhu me mmɔbɔ aa (But for the mercies of God) ayaayaaya
Ɛnyɛ Nyame na ɛwɔ mafa aa, (Had it not been the Lord on my side)
Ɛnyɛ Nyame na ɔyɛ m’adom (Had it not been the Grace of God)
Israel Nyame na ɛhu me mmɔbɔ aa (The God of Israel has been merciful unto me)
This is the doing of the Lord.
mmm
And I’m still here not because of what I did.
But this is …
This is the Doing of the Lord.
I am still here; I have life and I am awake
Because this is …
This is The Doing of The Lord.
I am still here; I have Life and I am Awake
Because this is…
This is The Doing of The Lord.
I am still here not because I knew the way.
But the Hand of the Lord, the Way maker
(This is the doing of the Lord).
What shall I render in deed, what shall I render?
What shall I render to You to my God oo, what shall I render?
Sɛ ɛnyɛ Nyame na ɛwɔ mafa aa, anka ɛnyɛ oo
(Had it not been the Lord on my side, where would I be?)
Ne Nsateaa ne Ne Nwuma (The Handiworks of God) ayaaayaaya eeii
Ɛnyɛ Nyame na ɛwɔ mafa aa, (Had it not been the Lord on my side)
