Will You Revive Once More?


- A poem on Psalm 85

Mercies I remember

Glowing as an ember

How grace once flowed

Much forgiveness was bestowed


Now sins have multiplied

On self I have relied

Can there still be

Mercy kept for me

Will your anger last

Will it soon be past

Will you still revive

And make your people thrive?

Bring us back to life

Though our sins be rife


Would you now restore

And end your holy war?

Let your righteousness

Be peace in sin’s distress

Will you revive once more

Forgiveness to outpour?


Forever is the need

Of a Savior who did bleed

I must not be far away

From the power of that day


A Son became my sin

His righteousness now within

O keep me near the cross

Lest I should suffer loss

I have no other plea

But that He died for me
