O Lord, the clouds are gathering
The fire of judgment 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 (echo)
Forgive us, Lord (echo)
Restore us, Lord (echo)
Revive Your church again
Let justice flow (echo)
Like rivers (echo)
And righteousness like a never failing stream
Have mercy, Lord

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

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

(Repeat Chorus)

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

(Repeat Chorus)
