The flood around me is rising;
the water’s up to my neck.
My voice is worn out from crying.
O Lord, please send me your help!
Draw near to my soul, O Lord!
Draw near to my soul, O Lord!
My flesh and blood no more own me;
my family’s no more my home.
They hide their eyes from my grieving;
they stop their ears from my groans.
I asked them all for some comfort;
I begged, but there was no bread.
They gave me food that was poison;
with wine, they left me for dead.

The hand of God gave you power to reign
so that you might stand for the weak.
He made you judge so the fatherless
and the poor could rest in your strength.
But you have left them in darkness
and the earth’s foundation’s shake.
How long, O Lord, before your justice reigns?
Rise up, O Lord! For you, the nations wait!

Come to Me
04:14
|

You weighed down; you are worried.
Child I see you; child I know you.
Bring your burdens; bring your labor.
Come to me.
Come to me, come to me,
Come to me if you are weary.
I will give you, I will give you my rest.
I am gentle; I am humble.
Let me teach you, let me show you.
Trade your burden; mine is easy.
Come to me.

It’s not long till the boastful are silenced and shamed.
It’s not long till the wealth of the wicked’s reclaimed.
And the ones who have waited with eyes on the Lord
will shine like the sun forevermore.
It’s not long till the Day of the Lord!
Just be still and be faithful and dwell in the land.
Put your trust in the Savior and cling to his hand.
When your heart burns with anger for all that is wrong,
do not let the dark steal your song.
It’s not long till the Day of the Lord,
It’s not long till the Day of the Lord!
Everything that is broken will soon be restored.
It’s not long till the Day of the Lord!
Do not fear for the wicked with weapons of war,
for the Lord is the shelter and strength of the poor.
And our God comes with laughter, let him be your joy.
The power of the sword, he’ll destroy.
It’s not long till the Day of the Lord!

Our help has come in the Name of the Lord,
the One who formed all the earth and the sky.
Behold! He comes to destroy the chains of death
and raise us up to life.
Oh bless his name, for he has given us
everything we need to fly.
Our broken wings, they have not hindered us.
We have the Lord; He’s on our side!

In you, Lord, I refuge take;
let me not be put to shame.
Turn your ear and quickly make
safety for my trembling frame.
You’re a rock and fortress strong;
I am lost and cannot see.
For your name’s sake, lead me on;
in your hands, my soul redeem.
My eyes weak with sorrow grow,
and my body fills with grief.
All my years pass with a groan;
my strength fails, my bones are weak.
Those who see me turn to flee;
my friends’ eyes are filled with dread.
Like a potter’s broken dream:
in their gaze, a shade of death.
But I trust you are my God;
all my days are in your hands.
Let your face upon me shine;
make me in your love to stand.
Great the steadfast love you’ve stored
for the poor, who refuge seek.
In your presence, gracious Lord,
in your dwelling they find peace.
When I cried in my alarm,
“I am cut off from your sight!”
Praise the Lord, whose saving arm
was my rescue and my light.
Love the Lord, all you his saints!
You, who in him refuge take.
Though in darkness you may wait,
all who hope in God are saved!

O God, do not be silent.
O God, do not be still.
O God you can’t stand by and watch
while your children are killed.
You heard the people screaming.
You heard the cries of pain.
You know the ones who made these plans,
you know they’ll come again.
O God be like the hurricane.
O God be like the storm.
O God of justice come like fire;
do not let them escape.
O God, do not be silent.
O God, do not be still.
O God you can’t stand by and watch
while your children are killed.

Why so proud, O man of power?
Trusting in your house of wealth?
When the lies on which you’re founded
Come to light, where’ll be your help?

May our God be known for his grace;
may the earth rejoice in his blessing.
May our God be known for his love,
and the smile that shines from His face.
May Your way be known on the earth
so that all the nations will sing
and rejoice in knowing the God of grace!
Let the nations sing and be glad
for the Lord is coming with justice.
Let the nations sing and be glad
for our God is coming with peace.
Now let all the ends of the earth
fill with holy wonder and joy,
for our God is coming to reign as king!

Put not your hope in the nation;
Put not your hope in a king.
Trust in the only one who opens eyes
and sets the prisoner free.
He is the maker of heaven;
He formed the earth and the sea.
Our help will come from the Lord our God,
our gracious king of peace.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
He is the hope of the hungry;
He is the Lord of the feast.
Our Father’s house always opens wide
to welcome refugees.
The fatherless find a Father;
The widow rests in His strength.
The heart of God is forever home
to all the poor and weak.

Then I saw the heavens open, for the former things were past.
And I heard my Savior singing: “I have come for you, at last!
I will wipe away death’s sorrow; you will no more cry or grieve.
To the thirsty I give healing; from the spring of life come drink!”
“For behold, I am making all things new!
Write this down; every word is true.
Tell the world what I come to do:
I am making all things new!”
Then I saw God’s holy city, New Jerusalem, descend.
And a voice announced with splendor, “I will dwell with you, my friends!
I will be your God forever; you will never leave my side.
You were always my beloved, now, at last, you’ll be my Bride!”
We will no more fear the darkness, and the night will be like day;
for the Lamb in all his beauty, like a torch, will light our way.
And the gates of that great city never close to those who come;
every nation brings its glory to our new creation home!

The Goodness Of The Lord
02:46
|
|||
His affection never wearies,
and his mercy never ends.
He reminds me every morning,
“I am still your faithful friend.”
He is good to those who seek him.
I will wait for him to bless.
And the Lord will be my portion
In the empty wilderness.
In the goodness of the Lord,
In the goodness of the Lord,
I will wait for him and set my hope
In the goodness of the Lord.
