Hold Our Children Fast (Psalm 78)

We regret the things we've lost And name the failures from our past We confess the common sin Of our fathers and our mothers We won't hide them from our children Our hope, it is not in our own strength Made or lost in the darkness of the past Oh our hope, it is in your saving pow'r In ev'ry age your love will last And you will hold our children fast We refuse to follow God Or trust his power to provide We complain and test his grace But he shows us loving kindness We won't hide it from our children
