Twelve verses move from a plea for God to tear open the heavens to a confession that Zion and Jerusalem lie in ruin as a wilderness.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down That the mountains might quake at your presence As when fire kindles the brushwood
And the fire causes the water to boil To make your name known to your adversaries That the nations may tremble at your presence
When you did terrible things which we looked not for You came down the mountains quaked at your presence And from of old men have not heard
Nor perceived by the ear neither has the eye seen a God besides you That works for him that waits for him You meet him that rejoices and works righteousness
You meet those that remember you in your ways Behold you were angry for we sinned We have been in those places long and shall we be saved
For all we have become as one that is unclean And all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags And we all fade as a leaf and our iniquities like the wind
Take us away and we are consumed by your anger You have hid your face from us and have consumed us By means of our iniquities
Behold consider we beseech you we are all your people Your holy cities are a wilderness Zion is a wilderness Jerusalem a desolation
