War is raging all around me
Words like swords are being thrust
And one by one the army falls
By the will of their own brigade

Why, oh Lord?
How much longer will the battle commence?
My heart is weary
And my soul is in turmoil
My eyes are black from weeping

What Am I to say, to your people?
How am I to love with the mercy of your hands?
For I have been wounded too
And am unaware of how much more I can bare
When will heaven touch earth again?

Rescue Your people, Oh God of Jacob
Deliver us as You have before
Show us Your undeserved mercy
That we may love again
