Second Chronicles remembers The house of the Lord And the kings who either sought him Or turned away The ark came home The singers rose The cloud came down Where the mercy flowed Solomon prayed The fire fell And all the people bowed Where the glory dwelled Open the doors again Let the house remember Fire came down But we wandered into ash Open the doors again, let the people tremble When we seek your face, you bring us back The crown grew proud, the kingdom broke Gold left the temple under Egypt's yoke Some kings cried out, some hardened their hands But mercy still waited over Judah's land Open the doors again, let the house remember Fire came down, but we wandered into ash Open the doors again, let the people tremble When we seek your face, you bring us back Singers march before the sword, praise went first into the war A hidden child, a broken throne, a holy house left cold as stone Pride reached in where priests should stand Locked doors shook beneath God's hand Then Hezekiah turned the key And worship rose in unity Open the doors again Let the house remember Fire came down But we wandered into ash Open the doors again Let the people tremble From exile roads You bring us back Manasseh prayed from chains and dust Josiah wept when the scroll was read The city fell But hope still spoke Return, rebuild Come home again
