Rising from the Ashes – Psalm 79

Verse 1:
God, the nations have invaded
Your holy land, they have raided
Jerusalem is in ruins
The temple defiled, we’re in ruins

Chorus:
But we won’t lose hope
We’ll rise from the ashes
Our faith will sustain us
God, come and save us

Verse 2:
The dead bodies line the streets
Their blood flows like a river, it’s bleak
We’re the laughingstock of our foes
They mock us, our spirits are low

Chorus:
But we won’t lose hope
We’ll rise from the ashes
Our faith will sustain us
God, come and save us

Verse 3:
Don’t hold our sins against us
Show us mercy, forgive us
Let your compassion come quickly
Help us before we die completely

Chorus:
But we won’t lose hope
We’ll rise from the ashes
Our faith will sustain us
God, come and save us

Outro:
We’ll sing your praises forever
Our trust in you will never sever
Rising from the ashes, we’ll stand tall
God, you are our all in all.
