Seventy years God remembered his people Babylon let them go home Cyrus heard a word he did not choose God had stirred his heart to lose the chains 50,000 souls walked out of Babylon Back to holy ground Through dust and plain Bring us back, Lord Bring us back to you Every stone we lay is an act of faith In the God who keeps his word They lay, lay the stones and the old man wept The young ones shouted when the trumpets rang Till Haggai rose and spoke the word of God And the people built again Bring us back, Noah Bring us back to You Every stone we lay is an act of faith In the God who keeps His Word Ezra came with the law in his hands The people fell and wept upon the stone He is good, his love endures He is good, his love endures
