Lord, Revive Us
Lamb
When the Lord brought back the Captives of Zion,
We were like those who dream, and dream,
For our hearts were filled with gladness, our mouths with with singing,
When the Lord brought back the Captives of Zion.
Gather round me, children, and I'll sing to you a song
And tell you of the glories that once were really ours;
When King David and King Solomon were following the Law,
The people lived in peace and Israel was strong.
But then there came a day when we turned to gods of stone,
Turning from our God on High who sits on Heaven's Throne,
And so the Lord He scattered us,
To turn us from our wrong, from our wrong.
When the Lord brought back the Captives of Zion,
We were like those who dream, and dream,
For our hearts were filled with gladness, our mouths with with singing,
When the Lord brought back the Captives of Zion.
So it has been two thousand years of wandering and pain,
And we have been like scattered sheep who've gone astray.
But don't despair my children, do not be afraid -
The Word of God has promised: the shame will pass away,
For there will come a day when God will gather us again
From north and south and east and west to Jerusalem,
To worship our Messiah who cleanses us from sin - from our sin!
Lord revive us, Lord, save Your people,
Lord revive us, Those who go forth weeping, will come again with joy.
Lord revive us, Lord, save Your people,
Lord revive us, Those who go forth weeping, will come again with joy.
Lord revive us, Lord, save Your people,
Lord revive us, Those who go forth weeping, will come again with joy...
