How can the righteous
adopt the ways of the wicked?
How can it be the LORD’s will
to cheat and steal
Is the LORD so mercenary?
Is this God of justice
so easily corrupted?
No, the LORD is true, just, and loving.
He is all-powerful, in unapproachable light
He does not need to fight in the dirt
Do you hear us, O LORD of Hosts?
Do you hear Your children cry?
When will You respond?
Will You ignore our plight forever?
Do you hear me, Redeemer of Israel?
Do you see my anguish?
Will You intercede for me?
Will You deliver me from despair?
Do you hear us, O LORD of Hosts?
Do you hear Your children cry?
When will You respond?
Will You ignore our plight forever?
Do you hear me, Redeemer of Israel?
Do you see my anguish?
Will You intercede for me?
Will You deliver me from despair?
Restore to us
Restore to Your people, God
All that the enemy has taken
All that we, in your rebellion,
have forsaken
Do for us, as You did for our fathers
Bless, as they sang of in the days of old
Do for us, according to Your mercy,
O LORD
Bless us with Your presence,
You are better than gold
The fool says “God does not know,”
The wicked claim the LORD has erred
But the LORD is on His throne
The LORD is on His throne
And scoffs at the arrogant and angry
Bringing the nations low
Forgive them, merciful King
Hold back Your justice, Lord of Hosts
Forgive the fool
Forgive me
Silence the grave, O LORD
Let me shout Your praise
Over the roar of the battle
Let no one weep anymore
Beside the tomb of the fallen
Silence the grave, O LORD
Let the resurrected throng praise You
May the laughter of the former mourners
Fill Your ears and bring You joy
