Standing On Sunken Cities
O, Heavenly Father
how long must you keep me here
standing on sunken cities?
I am still crying to you in anguish
tired of being torched by the flames
of enemy forces day in and day out
Shield me inside the caves
you have built
on the outskirts of these cities
create a way for me in your presence
to keep me from being devoured
I will praise you O, God
for your rain of deliverance
and the inner strength gifted within me
to stand above these sunken cities
and bring
glory to your name
