A Lament - Glenn Morrison

We started out strong But somewhere along We lost our way Done things in Your name I'm so ashamed I don't have the words to say We've killed and destroyed Stolen and blamed All in Your name You told us to give Told us to love But we chose to take You laid down Your life Put power aside Showed us the way and the Truth We roll into church Open the word And forget that we're called to include Now, it's long overdue But I can't dilute What we seem to havе put on the shelf I can't speak for us all But I gotta bеlieve I'm speakin' for more than myself When I say I'm sorry, I'm sorry (no, no no) I'm sorry, so sorry (no, no no) I'm sorry, I'm sorry (no, no no) I'm sorry, I'm sorry (no, no no) We say that we're one But we're broken up By anything that can divide Our color o' skin The clothes we're in That valley's deep and wide We overlook the broken The homeless And discard the poor While we celebrate the rich and beautiful With a wide-open door I'm sorry we're nothing like You You chose to bear a cross We choose to give You parts of us And rarely the parts that cost Now, it's long overdue But I can't dilute What we seem to have put on the shelf I can't speak for us all But I gotta believe I'm speakin' for more than myself When I say I'm sorry, I'm sorry (no, no no) I'm sorry, so sorry (no, no no) I'm sorry, I'm sorry (no, no no) I'm sorry, I'm sorry (no, no no) Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up, Lord Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up, Lord Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up I'm sorry, I'm sorry (no, no no) I'm sorry, so sorry (no, no no) I'm sorry, I'm sorry (no, no no) I'm sorry, I'm sorry (no, no no) Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up, Lord Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up, Lord Blessed are the poor in spirit For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven Blessed are they that mourn For they shall be comforted Blessed are the meek For they shall inherit the Earth Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousness For they shall be filled Blessed are the merciful For they shall obtain mercy Blessed are the pure in heart For they shall see God Blessed are the peacemakers For they shall be called the children of God Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness's sake For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you And shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake

بأبي، بأبي بأبي مَن ذُبتُ فِيهِ كَمَداً بأبي بأبي مَنْ مُتُّ مِنهُ فَرَقا بأبي حمرة ُ الخجلة ِ في وجنتهِ وضحُ الصُّبحِ يناغي الشَّفقا، الشَّفقا بأبي غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا من لبثِّي، من لوجدي، من لوجدي دلَّني من لحزني، من لحزني من لصبٍّ عشقا كلما ضنتُ تباريحَ الهوى فَضَحَ الدّمعُ الجَوَى والأرَقَا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا غادروني بالأثيلِ والنَّقَّا فإذا قلتُ: هبوا لي نظرة ً! قِيلَ ما تُمنَعُ إلاّ شَفَقا بأبي، بأبي بأبي
