Lyrics
Verse 1
O Lord, the clouds are gathering, 
The fire of judgement burns. 
How we have fallen! 
O Lord, You stand appalled to see 
Your laws of love so scorned 
And lives so broken 
 
Chorus
Have mercy, Lord. 
Forgive us, Lord. 
Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again 
Let justice flow 
Like rivers 
And righteousness like a never failing stream 
 
Verse 2
O Lord, over the nations now, 
Where is the dove of peace? 
Her wings are broken, 
O Lord, while precious children starve, 
The tools of war increase, 
Their bread is stolen 
 
Chorus
Have mercy, Lord. 
Forgive us, Lord. 
Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again 
Let justice flow 
Like rivers 
And righteousness like a never failing stream 
 
Verse 3
O Lord, dark powers are poised to flood 
Our streets with hate and fear 
We must awaken! 
O Lord, let love reclaim the lives 
That sin would sweep away, 
And let your kingdom come 
 
Chorus
Have mercy, Lord. 
Forgive us, Lord. 
Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again 
Let justice flow 
Like rivers 
And righteousness like a never failing stream 
 
Verse 4
Yet, O Lord, your glorious cross shall tower, 
Triumphant in this land. 
Evil confounding. 
Through the fire your suffering church display 
The glories of her Christ. 
Praises resounding! 
 
Chorus
Have mercy, Lord. 
Forgive us, Lord. 
Restore us, Lord; revive Your church again 
Let justice flow 
Like rivers 
And righteousness like a never failing stream a never failing stream
