Time passes on
We see life in time
We change and we grow
We laugh and we cry
And then when our sorrow
Seems too much to bear
We turn to the Father
We offer our prayers
We say, Lord, give us comfort
Lord, give us peace
We pray and we fast
Lord, can’t you see
We seek Your ways so eagerly
2rare “Q-Pid” (Live Performance) | Open Mic
Yes, my people
I hear all you ask
I know how you pray
I see how you fast
But I also see children
Who wander in tears
See small swollen bodies
Starving in fear
And I see how they call you
But you’ve turned from thеir cries
To fast in your free and affluent lives
Whilе the world dies in hunger
You have closed your eyes
Shout it aloud
Let your voices rise
The Lord will defend the afflicted
And don’t turn away
From their innocent cries
Jesus will come, they’ll be lifted
Over all, over all
We cannot go on living a lie
And expect our voice
To be heard on high
We say we are humble
We bow like a reed
Yet we turn from
The wandering refugee
And we try to pretend
That they do exist
While we claim to the world
That Jesus lives
We play the proud evangelist
Now our Lord says
I will hear you
As you hear Me
I call you to fast
In truth indeed
Loose the chains of injustice
Share what you’ve stored
Shelter the homeless
Feed the poor
Then your righteousness
Shall be revealed
And like a blossoming garden
You will be healed
Shout it aloud
Let your voices rise
The Lord will defend the afflicted
And don’t turn away
From their innocent cries
Jesus will come, they’ll be lifted
Over all, over all
Time passes on
We see life in time
We change and we grow
We laugh and we cry
And then when our trouble
Seems too much to bear
We turn to the Father
We offer our prayers
We say, Lord, give us comfort
Lord, give us peace
Lord, heal our nation
Can’t you see
