Nathan Clark George Rise In The Darkness (from Is. 58)
If this is the life we live
The kind of fast steam we have chosen
To lose the chains of injustice
And untie the unconverted
To share our food with the hungry
To give the oppressed freedom
To provide the poor and wandering with shelter
And when we see the naked, clothe them
Then the light shall bring forth like the dawn
And healing shall quickly arise
And your victor shall go before you
And the glory of the Lord behind
Then you will call and He will answer
You will cry for help and he will say: "Here I am."
If you remove the yoke from among you
The pointing of the fingers,
And the speaking of evil
Then the light shall bring forth like the dawn
And healing shall quickly arise
And your victor shall go before you
And the glory of the Lord behind
And he will guide you always
And satisfy in scorched lands
And make you strong like a watered garden
Like a spring, whose waters never end
If you offer your food to the hungry
And meet the needs of those in vain
Then your light will rise in the darkness
And your midnight will be like midday
Then the light shall bring forth like the dawn
And healing shall quickly arise
And your victor shall go before you
//And the glory of the Lord behind//
