Lyrics · Obadiah
As Thou Hast Done, It Shall Be Done
Obadiah 1:10-16
[Litany]
You stood on the ridge while the gate was broken,
Do not rejoice, do not boast in the day,
Watched lots fall over the streets of your brother.
Do not block the road where the fugitive runs.
You called his distress a convenient hour,
Do not rejoice, do not boast in the day,
Entered the ruin and carried his treasure.
Do not block the road where the fugitive runs.
[Verse 2]
Aloof is a choice when the wounded are near,
Silence joins violence when mercy is due.
As thou hast done, it shall be done,
The measure returns on the head that begun.
[Refrain]
Do not rejoice, do not boast in the day,
Do not block the road where the fugitive runs.
[Bridge]
The cup raised in triumph grows bitter and deep,
The holy mountain remembers the feast.
Brotherhood tested at the gate of despair,
The Day of the LORD finds what the bystander shared.
[Final Chorus]
Do not rejoice, do not boast in the day,
Do not block the road where the fugitive runs.
The Day of the LORD finds what the bystander shared.
