John Michael Talbot - Isaiah 58 lyrics
Time passes on, we see life in time We change and we grow, we laugh and we cry Then when our sorrow seems too much to bear, we turn to the Father, we offer our prayers We say “Lord give us comfort, Lord give us peace We pray and we fast Lord, can’t you see We seek your face so eagerly” Yes my people, I hear all you ask I know how you pray, I see how you fast But I also see children who wander in tears, see small swollen bodies starving in fear And I see how they call you, but you turn from their cries to fast in your free and affluent lives While the world dies in hunger, you have closed your eyes Chorus Shout it aloud, let your voices rise The Lord will defend the afflicted Don’t turn away from their innocent cries Jesus will come, they’ll be lifted over all, over all We cannot go on living a lie And expect our voice to be heard on high We say we are humble we bow like a reed, yet we turn from the wandering refugee And we try to pretend that they don’t exist While we claim to the world that Jesus lives We play the proud evangelist Now our Lord says “I will hear you as you hear me I call you to fast in truth and deed Loose the chains of injustice, share what you’ve stored Shelter the homeless, feed the poor Then your righteousness shall be revealed And like a blossoming garden you will be healed” Chorus Time passes on, we see life in time We change and we grow, we laugh and we cry Then when our sorrow seems too much to bear, we turn to the Father, we offer our prayers We say “Lord give us comfort, Lord give us peace Lord heal our nation, can’t you see” |
