CHINA TORI

Lord tell me new things;
secrets I have not yet heard.

Lord, for my sake
and for the honor of your name,
please hold back your anger
and don’t wipe me out.

I want to have peace flowing
like a gentle river around me
and righteousness shining through me.
So Lord, command me,
I’m listening.

Cause me, oh Lord,
to be free from captivity.
Let me leave Babylon
and the Babylonians.

Lord, at just the right time,
respond to me.
Give me answers
and lift my burden.

Almighty God, please.
Please do not forget me.

My trust is in you,
therefore, I will not
be put to shame.

Morning by morning,
wake me oh Lord
and expand my understanding.

Like a stone, Lord,
my face is set to you.
I want to do your will.
