John Michael Talbot - Isaiah 58 lyrics



Time passes on, we see life in time
We change and we grow, we laugh and we cry
Then when our sorrow seems too much to bear,
we turn to the Father, we offer our prayers
We say “Lord give us comfort, Lord give us peace
We pray and we fast Lord, can’t you see
We seek your face so eagerly”

Yes my people, I hear all you ask
I know how you pray, I see how you fast
But I also see children who wander in tears,
see small swollen bodies starving in fear
And I see how they call you, but you turn from their cries
to fast in your free and affluent lives
While the world dies in hunger, you have closed your eyes

Chorus
Shout it aloud, let your voices rise
The Lord will defend the afflicted
Don’t turn away from their innocent cries
Jesus will come, they’ll be lifted over all, over all

We cannot go on living a lie
And expect our voice to be heard on high
We say we are humble we bow like a reed,
yet we turn from the wandering refugee
And we try to pretend that they don’t exist
While we claim to the world that Jesus lives
We play the proud evangelist

Now our Lord says “I will hear you as you hear me
I call you to fast in truth and deed
Loose the chains of injustice, share what you’ve stored
Shelter the homeless, feed the poor

Then your righteousness shall be revealed
And like a blossoming garden you will be healed”

Chorus

Time passes on, we see life in time
We change and we grow, we laugh and we cry
Then when our sorrow seems too much to bear,
we turn to the Father, we offer our prayers
We say “Lord give us comfort, Lord give us peace
Lord heal our nation, can’t you see”
