The Evangelistic Express - The Government Lyrics

I'm the one
I'm the one
I'm the one
I'm the one

In the shadows of the city
Where the lights fade away
There's a promise from the ages
That no one can betray

For unto us a child is born
A light in the dark
He'll carry all the weight of the world
Igniting the spark

And the government shall be upon his shoulder
A mighty savior growing bolder
His name is called Wonderful Counselor
He's the Prince of Peace forevermore

Through the trials and the troubles
As the night stretches long
He'll establish justice
Righteousness will make us strong

The throne of David's kingdom
It shall never fall
He brings the endless peace
For he is Lord of all

And the government shall be upon his shoulder
A mighty savior growing bolder
His name is called Wonderful Counselor
He's the Prince of Peace forevermore

And the government shall be upon his shoulder
A mighty savior growing bolder
His name is called Wonderful Counselor
He's the Prince of Peace forevermore

The zeal of the Lord will make it happen
With every heart he will awaken
Justice flows like a river, righteousness like a stream
In the kingdom of his glory

We fulfill the dream
So come together
All you weary, lift your voice and sing
For the hope of every nation

In the promise he brings
His dominion will grow continually
Endless peace proclaim
With justice and integrity

Forever he'll reign
And the government shall be upon his shoulder
A mighty savior growing bolder
His name is called Wonderful Counselor

He's the Prince of Peace forevermore
And the government shall be upon his shoulder
A mighty savior growing bolder
His name is called Wonderful Counselor

He's the Prince of Peace forevermore
The government shall be upon his shoulder
The government shall be upon his shoulder
The government shall be upon his shoulder

He's the Prince of Peace forevermore
Forevermore
Forevermore
