Our Cities Burn with Fire
They have all gone astray
No one knows Me
Playing the prostitute
With liars and thieves
To the ends of the earth
The Lord will roar from on high
From nation to nation
The whirlwind will rise
Walking through this dessert
And we cant' find relief
Been here forever and we're still
Looking for peace
We came from the mountain top
Where we walked with God
We turned our backs and walked away
Now our cities burn with fire
Sacrifice your children
To the flames of your desire
To the god of self and choice
Dedicate your voice
Stake your claim to your rights
But that don't make it right
The silent voice won't embrace your choice
And our cities burn with fire
Lord have mercy
On our nation
Give us hearts to speak of
Your salvation
The precious Son on the cross
Who died so none need be lost
But death would not have victory
For when the stone was rolled away
Their eyes beheld an empty grave
Fires burn in the night
Fueled by the Word of God
Judgement faces every man
Like it or not
In our struggle to find truth
We've rejected it outright
A nation once blessed by God
Whose cities burn with fire
A house divided cannot stand
And how great is the divide
Behind the signs and slogans
The true agenda hides
Darkened hearts cannot find truth
And never tire of the lies
Sincerity becomes insanity
As our cities burn with fire
Lord have mercy
On our nation
Give us hearts to speak of
Your salvation
The precious Son on the cross
Who died so none need be lost
But death would not have victory
For when the stone was rolled away
Their eyes beheld an empty grave
No one knows Me
Playing the prostitute
With liars and thieves
To the ends of the earth
The Lord will roar from on high
From nation to nation
The whirlwind will rise
Walking through this dessert
And we cant' find relief
Been here forever and we're still
Looking for peace
We came from the mountain top
Where we walked with God
We turned our backs and walked away
Now our cities burn with fire
Sacrifice your children
To the flames of your desire
To the god of self and choice
Dedicate your voice
Stake your claim to your rights
But that don't make it right
The silent voice won't embrace your choice
And our cities burn with fire
Lord have mercy
On our nation
Give us hearts to speak of
Your salvation
The precious Son on the cross
Who died so none need be lost
But death would not have victory
For when the stone was rolled away
Their eyes beheld an empty grave
Fires burn in the night
Fueled by the Word of God
Judgement faces every man
Like it or not
In our struggle to find truth
We've rejected it outright
A nation once blessed by God
Whose cities burn with fire
A house divided cannot stand
And how great is the divide
Behind the signs and slogans
The true agenda hides
Darkened hearts cannot find truth
And never tire of the lies
Sincerity becomes insanity
As our cities burn with fire
Lord have mercy
On our nation
Give us hearts to speak of
Your salvation
The precious Son on the cross
Who died so none need be lost
But death would not have victory
For when the stone was rolled away
Their eyes beheld an empty grave
