Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Have mercy, Lord. Forgive us, Lord. Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again Let justice flow Like rivers And righteousness like a never failing stream [Verse 2] 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 increase, Their bread is stolen [Chorus] Have mercy, Lord. Forgive us, Lord. Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again Let justice flow Like rivers And righteousness like a never failing stream [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Have mercy, Lord. Forgive us, Lord. Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again Let justice flow Like rivers And righteousness like a never failing stream [Verse 4] 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! [Chorus] Have mercy, Lord. Forgive us, Lord. Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again Let justice flow Like rivers And righteousness like a never failing stream a never failing stream [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Have mercy, Lord. Forgive us, Lord. Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again Let justice flow Like rivers And righteousness like a never failing stream [Verse 2] 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 increase, Their bread is stolen [Chorus] Have mercy, Lord. Forgive us, Lord. Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again Let justice flow Like rivers And righteousness like a never failing stream [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Have mercy, Lord. Forgive us, Lord. Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again Let justice flow Like rivers And righteousness like a never failing stream [Verse 4] 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! [Chorus] Have mercy, Lord. Forgive us, Lord. Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again Let justice flow Like rivers And righteousness like a never failing stream a never failing stream
