lyrics
Oooooh.
Hear O Lord our cry
In distress we call to You
We are longing for your side
Your will, we want to do
Joyful lives in pain
With a hope that brings rebirth
To restore and come to reign
Your kingdom here on earth
Chorus:
For our lives have been made new
And sin has lost its sting
Sowing peace in all we do
O We shall praise the King
Hungry to be healed
All creation groans today
Your redemption is revealed
Thru Your grace we show Your way
Through the cross Your blood’s made peace
Now you reconcile all things
Showing love to the least of these
Your bride will stand and sing
