WHO CAN SOUND THE DEPTHS OF SORROW
|
In the Father heart of God
|
For the children we've rejected
|
For the lives so deeply scarred?
|
And each light that we've extinguished
|
Has brought darkness to our land
|
Upon our nation, upon our nation
|
Have mercy, Lord
|
|
We have scorned the truth you gave us
|
We have bowed to other lords
|
We have sacrificed the children
|
On the altars of our gods
|
O let truth again shine on us
|
Let your holy fear descend
|
Upon our nation, upon our nation
|
Have mercy, Lord
|
|
(Men only)
|
Who can stand before your anger?
|
Who can face your piercing eyes?
|
For you love the weak and helpless
|
And you hear the victims' cries
|
(AII)
|
Yes, you are a God of justice
|
And your judgement surely comes
|
Upon our nation, upon our nation
|
Have mercy, Lord
|
|
(Women only)
|
Who will stand against the violence?
|
Who will comfort those who mourn?
|
In an age of cruel rejection
|
Who will build for love a home?
|
(All)
|
Come and shake us into action
|
Come and melt our hearts of stone
|
Upon your people, upon your people
|
Have mercy, Lord
|
|
Who can sound the depths of mercy
|
In the Father heart of God?
|
For there is a Man of sorrows
|
Who for sinners shed his blood
|
He can heal the wounds of nations
|
He can wash the guilty clean
|
Because of Jesus, because of Jesus
|
Have mercy, Lord
|
