about

This song was written in 2017 while processing the Las Vegas shooting, but it feels appropriate to post today in the wake of learning about Ahmaud Arbery's horrific murder. It is a prayer I sing when the shadows of darkness, tragedy, and injustice loom heavy on our world. It's a cry for the day when "justice true" reigns from the scepter of King Jesus over the whole earth. Come back soon, Lord.

lyrics

wickedness
is commonplace
how much more can You take?
Death leaves hell
in his wake
wipe the smirk off of his face

oh my God
come back soon
oh how long
must we wait
to be with You

thieves have come
to destroy
everything that's pure
still we know
that You hold
all those who are Yours

oh my God
come back soon
oh how long
til You bring
justice true

no more death
no more suffering
all this sorrow
turned to dancing
