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

I called into the shadow I wore at 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

you
