O Lord----the clouds are gathering
The fire of judgement burn How we have fall---en!
O Lord, you stand appalled to see Your laws of love so scorned
And lives so bro---ken
Have mercy, Lord, (Men) Have mercy, Lord, (Women)
Forgive us, Lord, (Men) Forgive us, Lord (Women)
Restore us, Lord Revive your church again (All)
Let justice flow (Men) Let justice flow (Women)
Like rivers (Men) Like rivers (Women)
And righteousness like a never failing stream (All)
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
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
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!
