lyrics

You put to shame those that would hate me
And we rout those who rise against us
My sword it can never save me
It's not in my bow I trust

You are the King of the high hosts
Your salvation is thusly ordained
It's in You that we have our one boast
We only give thanks to your name

You lead us like sheep to the slaughter
You sold all your people off
Your very own sons and daughters
You've made us a laughing stock

All day my disgrace went before me
Shame covered up my face
But my heart never turned from you glory
Nor my steps departed your way

Awake 
Rouse yourself do not reject us
 Awake 
Our bellies clinging to the ground
 Awake 
For our souls bow down to dust
Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love
