Lyrics to "Please Restore Us"

Lamentations 5

 

 

Devastation and chaos 

In the Darkness, our despair

Saturated with all  sorrow

Oh Lord please hear our prayer

When noontime looks like midnight

And the upside is sinking down

What was hidden on the inside

Is now  scattered all around

 

Chorus: 

Oh my Lord, restore us

Oh my Lord, restore us

If we can't sink any lower

If the song isn't over

Please restore us

 

 

 

Our fathers  sinned and are no more

Now I hear the knocking at our door

There is no happy ending 

to this our farewell song

 

Dawn is coming at your appearing

The Son arises, the darkness disappearing

The redeemed voices swell, in you all is well, 

To sing Your glory

 

Only Jesus  can wake the dawn

When hope is shattered, all is gone

Jesus renew me

Take my hand and hold on, please hold on

 

 

Chorus: 

Oh my Lord, restore us

Oh my Lord, restore us

If we can't sink any lower

If the song isn't over

Please restore us
