Lyrics

[Verse 1] O God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance and the holy place Jerusalem is almost in ruins While most men just turn away [Refrain] How long, O Lord, will You be angry? And how long, O Lord, will You hide Your face? [Pre-Chorus] Then the Lord awoke, as if from a sleep Like a warrior overcome with wine And He drove back His adversaries And He smote them on their parts behind [Chorus] Oh, for God has risen; His enemies have fled And those who hate Him will run before His dread For the fires are burning that purifies the heart And the shout of the righteous is just about to start [Verse 2] God takes His stand in His own congregation He will judge in the midst of kings There is a shaking coming to this generation The winds of change will blow all things [Refrain] How long, O Lord, will You watch injustice? How long, O Lord, will You hide Your face? [Pre-Chorus] Then the Lord awoke, as if from a sleep Like a warrior overcome with wine And He drove back His adversaries And He smote them on their parts behind [Chorus] Oh! For God has risen; His enemies have fled And those who hate Him will run before His dread For the fires are burning that purifies the heart And the shout of the righteous is just about to start [Guitar Solo] [Interlude] These are all from the scriptures They're from the Psalms The scripture says that God will wake suddenly Like a warrior overcome wine And He will drive back His adversaries He will smite them on their parts behind Ha-ha-ha! That's our God! That's our King! That's our Master! Hallelujah! [Pre-Chorus] Then the Lord awoke, as if in a sleep Like a warrior overcome with wine And He drove back His adversaries And He smote them on their parts behind [Chorus] Yes, for God has risen; His enemies have fled And those who hate Him will run before His dread For the fires are burning that purifies the heart And the shout of the righteous is just about to start
