about

Based on Psalm 90

lyrics

Return to us God when we cry, we ask you: How long
shall we see no end of evil and suffering and wrong?
Will the ongoing affliction continue to last?
God have mercy upon us -- let it be in the past!

Show all that live in this world your wondrous compassion
Allow us to see your grace clearly translate into action
Fill us completely with your love each and every morn
-- Your glory to shine upon all of the children you've borne

Then we shall dance and rejoice in uplifted song
Let us be happy each day, let us be strong
Your favor reside with the people in your Holy Land
And prosper well, the honest good work of our hands

Then all shall dance and rejoice in uplifted song
Let all be happy each day, let all be strong
Your favor reside with the people in all of your lands
And prosper well the good work of all of our hands

Return to us God when we cry, we ask you how long
Let us be happy each day, let us be strong

Hope you enjoy the English or Hebrew versions, and wish you well. Thanks for listening! ... more
