I'll Quiet You

Though nations come against your land
Though kings have pillaged all you have
Though food is taken from your hand
I'll quiet you by my love

For three transgressions, judgment hits
For no one will their sin admit
And when your soul sinks to the pit
I'll quiet you by my love

And though you choose what I create
Thereby sealing all man's fate
A new creation will be shaped
I'll quiet you by my love

Though the fig tree has decayed
Though your flocks have run away
Rejoice! I, the LORD, am your strength
I'll quiet you by my love

You shameless people, gather here
Seek the Lord in humble fear
And though you turn, I'll draw you near
I'll quiet you by my love

And though you try to take my crown
And wear my jewels upon your brow
My goodness can't ever be drowned
I'll quiet you by my love

The Lord your God sings over you
And given you burden of proof
That I won't leave but will stay true
I'll quiet you by my love

Sing aloud, my children, shout!
In joy for freedom has come about
And in my care you have no doubts
I'll quiet you by my love
