Make us the blessed

Make us the blessed

by Joel Howard

Lack of rest, busyness 
We have built our lives on this

Death and threats, lies and theft 

Tell my why is nothing left! 

Famine at best - who can contest? 

This is why our joy has left! 

This is why we are depressed! 

God! O God! We now confess 

Humbly at Your feet repent 

We may again enter Your rest! 

Grace again be our defense! 

Mercy, now make us the blessed
