Graham Kendrick - O Lord The Clouds Are Gathering (with lyrics) descargar videos gratis

Prayer song O Lord The Clouds Are Gathering (from The Very Best Of Graham Kendrick) was originally recorded for Shine Jesus Shine in 1987.

Graham attended a leaders' conference where the tension between God's judgement and God's mercy dominated many conversations. Street violence was just one of the subjects discussed as people thought about the direction society was taken. Graham determined to try and write about these stark realities. His poetic gift was at its most powerful when he described the plight of starving children with the words 'the tools of war increased, their bread is stolen'

Graham's desire to reflect the whole counsel of God surfaces once again:

'There's a need to be triumphant and celebratory but we must balance this by considering the whole of life. There's a whole book in the Bible called Lamentations. The biblical prophets spent much of their time grieving over the sinfulness of their nation.'

O Lord, the clouds are gathering

The fire of judgement burns

How we have fallen!

O Lord, you stand appalled to see

Your laws of love so scorned

And lives so broken

Have mercy, Lord, (Men)

Have mercy, Lord, (Women)

Forgive us, Lord, (Men)

Forgive us, Lord (Women)

Restore us, Lord (All)

Revive your church again

Let justice flow (Men)

Let justice flow (Women)

Like rivers (Men)

Like rivers (Women)

And righteousness like a never failing stream (All)
