Jerusalem is gone Only the ash remains She sat alone beside the broken gate A city clothed in mourning Dressed in ash and weight Her roads run empty where The faithful used to go The Lord has laid upon her what her hands did so How does she sit so still in all this ruin? How does the gold grow dim and no one come? Jerusalem has fallen God has spoken And the silence after judgment Weighs a ton He drove me into darkness Walled me in with stone No light to find my footing No voice but my own I called into the shadow I wore up my knees Then something broke the quiet Like a morning breeze How does she sit so still In all this ruin How does the gold grow dim And no one come Jerusalem has fallen God has spoken In the silence after judgment Weighs a ton His mercies are not finished They rise with every dawn Great is our faithfulness When everything is gone, I will wait in the rubble I will hold to what remains The Lord will not forget us Though we're buried in this pain She still sits beside The broken gate The roads run empty But we lift our face Restore us, Lord Or tell us we are lost Either way, you're thrown indoors Above the cost Remember us Remember us Restore us to yourself Or speak Thank you.
