Maranatha! Music - Micah6:8 Lyrics

“Micah6:8” centers almost entirely on the biblical summary of faithful living: doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God. The repeated question about what the Lord requires gives the song a clear teaching shape, while the answer keeps devotion connected to conduct. Its call is neither abstract nor complicated; worship is expressed through fairness, compassion, and humility before God.

The lyric closely follows Micah 6:8, including its older phrasing, “shown thee” and “requires of thee.” Repetition allows each command to receive emphasis, and the ending subtly shifts from “thy God” to “our God,” bringing the confession into a shared setting. Rather than presenting righteousness as achievement, the song places obedience beneath a humble walk with God. That combination makes the piece suitable for congregational reflection on character, mercy, and daily faithfulness.
