Modern Lament (Psalm 10)

[intro] [verse] Oh Lord this world, corrupt and cold. Where in darkness, evil men prevail. Here human lives, are bought and sold. While good seems lost, and doomed to fail. While good seems lost, and doomed to fail. [break] [verse] Oh Lord do you, stand far away? Could we such distance, even measure. Here storms and wars, destruction fray. While men lay claim, to hope and treasure. While men lay claim, to hope and treasure. [chorus] How long oh Lord, till you return. To cease the work, You have begun. For a better place, our hearts must yearn. And wait with patience, until the victory’s won. [verse] Rise up oh Lord, our cares to soothe. Our heart for peace, and justice craves. Here people starve, for food and truth. While feasting numb, in shallow graves. [break] [chorus] How long oh Lord, till you return. To cease the work, You have begun. For a better place, our hearts must yearn. And wait with patience, until the victory’s won. [instrumental] [end]
