O LORD, THE CLOUDS ARE GATHERING
|
The fire of judgement burns
|
How we have fallen!
|
O Lord, you stand appalled to see
|
Your laws of love so scorned
|
And lives so broken
|
|
Have mercy, Lord, (Men)
|
Have mercy, Lord, (Women)
|
Forgive us, Lord, (Men)
|
Forgive us, Lord (Women)
|
Restore us, Lord (All)
|
Revive your church again
|
Let justice flow (Men)
|
Let justice flow (Women)
|
Like rivers (Men)
|
Like rivers (Women)
|
And righteousness like a never failing stream (All)
|
|
O Lord, over the nations now
|
Where is the dove of peace?
|
Her wings are broken
|
O Lord, while precious children starve
|
The tools of war increaseTheir bread is stolen
|
|
O Lord, dark powers are poised to flood
|
Our streets with hate and fear
|
We must awaken!
|
O Lord, let love reclaim the lives
|
That sin would sweep away
|
And let your kingdom come
|
|
Yet, O Lord, your glorious cross shall tower
|
Triumphant in this land
|
Evil confounding
|
Through the fire your suffering church display
|
The glories of her Christ
|
Praises resounding!
|
