We need You so badly.
When will You wake us up?
When will You, Lord, send new wine and new oil?
How long O Lord, until You show mercy?
How much longer will You hold back your love?
How much longer will You allow the darkness to linger?
When, Lord, will You show us Your salvation?
How much longer? How long, O Lord?
When will Heaven kiss earth?
How much longer until Your children see Your promises?
Will You really allow Your children to waver at Your promises?
What will it take for You to stretch out Your hand?
How long must we suffer the wait?
If only You came, we would turn to You with all our hearts
If only You acted, we would reject the world and its treasures
If only You showed mercy, we would repent.
How long must the spirit of death hover over us?
When will you shine Your light on our enemies?
Your children are crying out, hopelessness surrounds
Do not hold back Your love
Do not restrain Yourself
But show mercy!
We have put our hope in You, our trust in You
You say our faith is precious
More precious than gold
For me to give up now would be like a man who needed one more 2-pointer to win the basketball game, but chose to hold on to the ball instead, as the timer ran out. It would be like a man who saved up for a new instrument, but spent it all on gambling. It would be like a man who prepared and prepared for battle, but chose to stay hidden when war came.
Therefore, I will persevere.
I will not waver at the promise of God.
I will hold fast to the hope in Christ.
Who will join me?
Who will be with me in the front lines?
Who is willing to persist, and persist, and persist, until we see the righteousness of God?
Who will be there when He sends fire to consume His enemies?
Who will be there when He strikes down from heaven the wicked with His fury?
Are you with Him, or against Him?
Do no be silent, and give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem a praise on the earth!
He is faithful, He is able.
And He will not give up, even when we do!
That is the God for whom we love and serve.
