lyrics

Verse 1
The depths of our losses lie deeper than the floor of the sea
Our tears have no meaning to the profit-making machine
The ones placed above us look away in apathy
God will you free us? Misery is now our routine

Chorus 1
Will You come and overthrow our enemies
How long will this suffering repeat and repeat
Will You come and lift our heads in victory
Bring down our oppressors
Making them a footstool under our feet

Verse 2
We’re sickened and tired that lives are treated with no regard
The weak at the hands of the powerful to use and discard
Shatter the idols of affluence and selfish gain
Pour out your justice, and put an end to all of this pain

Bridge
At your right hand we will reign with you
All the earth will be restored, renewed

Chorus 2
You will come and overthrow our enemies
No more will this suffering repeat and repeat
You will come and lift our heads in victory

Tag
Bring down our oppressors (x3)
Making them a footstool under our feet
