The Name upon the People

Numbers 5:1-8:26

[Verse 1] Uncleanness left the camp, and wrong required return, The stolen thing came home with more before the offering burned. Jealousy and hidden truth were brought before the priest, For secret guilt could not remain where holy presence lived. [Pre-Chorus] Then a vow set one apart, No wine, no razor, no defilement by the dead. [Chorus] Put the Name upon the people, Bless and keep them in the way. Make Your face to shine upon them, Give them peace from day to day. [Verse 2] At the vow's completion, hair was cut beside the flame, Offerings marked the ending and the consecrated days. Then twelve princes came in order, each with equal gifts to bring, Silver, gold, and sacrifice before the altar of the King. [Bridge] Moses heard the voice above the mercy seat within, Seven lamps were turned to shine, and Levites washed from sin. Hands of Israel rested on them, wave offering before the LORD, Taken for the firstborn, given to the priestly work. [Final Chorus] Put the Name upon the people, Bless and keep them in the way. Lift Your countenance upon them, Give them peace from day to day. [Outro] The gifts were counted, But the blessing crowned them all.
