Lyrics to "Restoration"

Deborah’s Song (Part 1)

Restoration

When we did what was right

In our own eyes

We were taken away

We were caught by surprise

Our highways abandoned,

Our villages ceased
The travelers kept to the byways.

The land had no peace

When the Lord went before us

The heavens came down

The clouds dropped their water

And You shook the ground

(Chorus)

We were so tired

And hope was gone

Out of the silence

We hear a song

Restoration

My heart goes out

To those of you

Who offered themselves

So willingly

My heart can sing

Melodies to the Lord

Those that love You shall be

With a heart restored

When the Lord went before us

The heavens came down

The clouds dropped their water

And You shook the ground

(Chorus)

We were so tired

And hope was gone

Out of the silence

We hear a song

Restoration

Hear O kings

All you in high places

Let us sing

Sing to the God

who saves us

Restoration

In the last of this 3 part series on the Song of Moses, Chad meditates on some of the dominant religious ideas of our day. Sometimes the Bible is inconveniently direct, and confrontational when it comes to our man made ideas. John Andrew Schreiner and Cathy Schreiner sing "I Have Been Crucified".

Lyrics to "I Have Been Crucified"

For the sake of Your name

You cleanse this land

For the love of Your children

You stretch out Your hand

Vengeance is Yours

And Yours all alone

Judgement will come, in Your time

You take care of Your own

Chorus:

I have been crucified

I have been made alive

Here with my cross

I can walk in the light of Christ

You kill and you make alive

There is no god beside You

You wound and You heal me

And no one can undo

Lord, in my weakness

May I seek Your face

Lord, in my woundedness

Your kindness, Your grace

According to Chad, we should take care to give thanks to God when things are going smoothly, lest we become proud, arrogant and rebellious. Chad gives example after example of biblical heroes who ended up in trouble because of pride and success. Chris Lizotte sings "Lord Have Mercy".

Lyrics to Song of Moses (Part 2) verses 15-33

With the sun on my face, the wind at my back,

I feel like I’m soaring above the earth

But don’t let me fall away, don’t let me fall away

Don’t let me forget, the God who gave me birth

Chorus

Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy

On me

Did you say, “I will turn away; and hide my face”

Did you say, “this generation provokes my rage”

But don’t let me fall away, don’t let me fall away

Don’t let me forget, the God of heaven and earth

Chorus

Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy

On me

The mountain is on fire

And it burns to the depths of hell

The forest turned to a wasteland

‘Cause pride put me under it’s spell

If everything falls apart

Or if it all goes my way

Draw me close to your wounded side

Have mercy when I pray
