Jubilee

All creation’s groaning All is yearning for the day When Yah will come and conquer When all sin is cast away This fallen earth is longing For the day when all’s made right When righteousness and justice Will break forth as morning light My heart is also yearning For the things that soon shall be When Yah reveals His glory In the year of Jubilee All creation’s calling All of heaven’s host proclaim The greatness of our Savior And they praise His mighty Name Lo! The day is coming Fierce and burning as a flame When He returns, and shakes the earth And nothing stays the same Who could stand before Him? I will fall on bended knee Before the King of Glory In the year of Jubilee See the towns of Judah How in solitude they wait To see the King of Glory Marching through the Eastern Gate When my King’s returning I know I will go there too We’ll run to Zion’s mountain And He’ll teach us what is true Finally I’ll live there In the land He’s promised me At last I’ll have my portion In the year of Jubilee See the wars and fighting All this means He’s coming back And in His peaceful kingdom No more nations will attack In that day, the poor ones All those humble and oppressed Shall be raised up and rescued For the King shall give them rest In my home, near Zion I will live, so full of glee All men will live in freedom In the year of Jubilee Israel’s old cities All are longing for the day When they’ll be full of people And their streets with children’s play See the Land awaiting When the captives will return The day when all will know Him And His Torah all shall learn His great fame and glory Shall spread forth like boundless sea And all shall see salvation In the year of Jubilee Though the world is reeling And the wicked seem to rise With confidence, we’re waiting Till He comes upon the skies In the harshest trials We will trust that they won’t last One day, we’ll stand victorious When the rule of sin is past Though the world can’t see it We believe what we don’t see Our King will reign victorious In the year of Jubilee With the hosts of angels We Your people plead and cry “How long till You’ll show mercy? Oh, how long till death will die?” When will goodness triumph? Please take heed how we’re oppressed Have mercy, Lord, on Zion And arise, Yah, to your rest Come, our Lord Yeshua! How we yearn and hope for Thee Come take Your throne in Zion In the year of Jubilee
