Show us Your mighty power.
Come to rescue us!
Turn us again to Yourself, O God.
Make Your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, how long will you be angry with our prayers?
You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful.
You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations.
Our enemies treat us as a joke.
Turn us again to Yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make Your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
You brought us from England like a grapevine; and transplanted us into Your land.
You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land.
Our shade covered the mountains; our branches covered the mighty cedars.
We spread our branches west to the Pacific Ocean;
our shoots spread east to the Atlantic Ocean.
But now, why have You broken down our walls so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?
The wild boar from the forest devours it, and the wild animals feed on it.
Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
Look down from heaven and see our plight.
Take care of this grapevine that you yourself have planted, these sons and daughters You have raised for Yourself.
For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies.
May they perish at the sight of Your frown.
Strengthen the men and women You love, the sons and daughters of Your choice.
Then we will never abandon You again.
Revive us so we can call on Your name once more.
Turn us again to Yourself, O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make Your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
For we long for the day when you will reign as KING and LORD of Lords, here on earth as it is in Heaven.
For You are worthy, our LORD and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things and by Your will they exist and came to be.
Your church and bride say, "Come, LORD JESUS, come."
In Jesus Name. Amen.
My prayer as well.
