ou, Lord, yourself are our Father,
Our Redeemer is your ancient name.
Why, lord, leave us to stray from your ways
and harden our hearts against fearing you?
Oh, that you would tear the heavens open and come down
- at your Presence the mountains would melt.
You guide those who act with integrity
and keep your ways in mind.
We have all withered like leaves
and our sins blew us away like the wind.
No one invoked your name
or roused himself to catch hold of you.
For you hid your face from us
and gave us up to the power of our sins.
And yet, Lord, you are our Father;
and harden our hearts against fearing you?
Oh, that you would tear the heavens open and come down
- at your Presence the mountains would melt.
You guide those who act with integrity
and keep your ways in mind.
We have all withered like leaves
and our sins blew us away like the wind.
No one invoked your name
or roused himself to catch hold of you.
For you hid your face from us
and gave us up to the power of our sins.
And yet, Lord, you are our Father;
we the clay,
you the potter,
we are all the work of your hand.~ Isaiah 63
