O God the nations have invaded Your inheritence and the holy Place Jerusalem is almost in ruins While most men just turn away How long O Lord Will you be angry? How long O Lord Will you hide your face? Then the Lord awoke, as if From a sleep Like a warrior overcome With wine And he drove back his adversaries And he smote them on the parts Behind. For God has risen, His enemies have fled And those who hate him Will run before his dread For the fires are burning that Purify the heart And the shout of the righteous Is just about to start. God takes his stand in his own Congregation He will judge in the midst Of Kings There is a shaking coming to this Generation And the winds of change will Blow all things How long O Lord Will you watch injustice? How long O Lord Will you hide your face?
