poor bishop hooper - psalm 79 lyrics
[verse 1]
o god, the nations have come and taken
your chosen land, your possession
jerusalem lies heaped in ruins
your holy temple in defilement
they have left the bodies of your servants
as food for the birds of the heavens
[refrain]
blood has flowed like water all around
blood has flowed like water all around
[verse 2]
how long, o lord, will you be angry?
how long will your jealousy burn?
pour out your wrath upon the nations
who stubbornly refuse to call your name
[refrain]
let compassion come and meet with us
let compassion come and meet with us
oh, let compassion come and meet with us
let compassion come and meet with us
[chorus]
help us, o god help us
help us, o god, help us
save us, o god, save us
help us, o god, help us
help us, o god help us (for the glory of your name)
help us, o god, help us (for the honor of your name)
save us, o god, save us (forgive our sins)
help us, o god, help us
help us, o god help us (hear the groaning of the prisoner)
help us, o god, help us (come demonstrate your power)
save us, o god, save us (and save the doomed)
help us, o god, help us (payback sevenfold)
help us, o god help us (those that taunt and scorn)
help us, o god, help us (and we your people)
save us, o god, save us (will give thanks to you)
help us, o god, help us
