Ashes & Light — Selah Sound Collective (Psalm 79)

Intro From the ashes, we cry Our hearts laid bare, under an empty sky

Verse 1 O God, the nations have trampled our name Streets run with sorrow, consumed by shame The temple is silent, its halls overthrown Our cries echo, unheard, alone

Pre-Chorus How long, O Lord, will the shadows remain? Your wrath burns bright, but mercy's refrain?

Chorus Forgive, renew, remember our plea Lift us from ruins, set our spirits free For Your name, Your glory, Your light divine In the desolation, let Your promise shine

Verse 2 The young are taken, the old left to mourn Our fields are barren, our flags are torn But still, we hold to the hope of Your word A flame in the dark, though faint, it is stirred

Bridge Deliver us, O Shepherd of light Through valleys of darkness, through endless night Let justice roll, let mercy be known Our souls are Yours, not stone

Chorus Forgive, renew, remember our plea Lift us from ruins, set our spirits free For Your name, Your glory, Your light divine In the desolation, let Your promise shine

Outro From the ashes, we cry Our hearts laid bare, under an empty sky
