Bombs overseas and murders in our streets;
families with homes one day are homeless the next.
O, Lord, our souls yearn, even faint to worship you.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
we are forever praising you!
Demonic displacements in our cities
and unrighteous gentrification in our towns!
O Lord, our souls yearn, even faint, to worship you today.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
we are forever praising you!
We search for your peace and cry out for your presence,
looking for a city whose builder and maker is God.
Thank you, for even the sparrow has a home with you; and so do we.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
we are forever praising you!
