Poetry

---

You showed favor unto Your land,
And You have restored the fortunes;
Forgiving transgressions to stand,
With sin of the true intentions.

You have withdrawn all of Your wrath,
You have turned off Your hot anger;
Guiding me to the righteous path,
Comforting me as to languor.

Turn us to our salvation,
Restoring us again O God;
Put away Your indignation,
Once again, we honor and laud.

Will You be angry forever?
Prolonged to all generations;
Allow not the bonds to sever,
And be our aspirations.

Will You not revive us again,
So that Your people may rejoice;
Help us to prevent our sin,
From being our only choice.

Let the flow of Your steadfast love,
As You grant us mercy and grace;
Your salvation comes from above,
For covering this holy place.

Allow me to hear what You speak,
For I know that You will speak peace;
Because only You do I seek,
Going forward let the past cease.

Surely Your salvation is near,
In order Your glory may dwell;
So that the people who do fear,
Will no longer try to rebel.

Steadfast love and faithfulness meet,
Morality and peace will kiss;
All together they able to seat,
Opening up in a new bliss.

The truth will spring out of the earth,
Righteousness looks down from the sky;
For You will be bringing new birth,
While watching the past to die.
