The Father’s Lament

A father's guilt, hidden from the light His tears unspoken in the dead of night He wonders if there's still a way For broken hearts to find new day Avinu, draw us near Heal our wounds, chase off our fear El Elyon, enthroned above Comfort us with endless love I lay my pride and failures down Forgive the times I wore a crown Jehovah Tsidkenu—our righteousness Cover my shame with holiness Avinu, draw us near Heal our wounds, chase off our fear El Elyon, enthroned above Comfort us with endless love Avinu, draw us near Heal our wounds, chase off our fear Redeemed as fathers by Your hand We rise in grace, we choose to stand
