O Lamento de Israel
Sérgio Lopes
The Lament of Israel
When they took you captive from Zion
And your priests mourned in distress
It was like dying of shame and pain
The strong people of the Lord walked sadly
Ah, Jerusalem, why have you stopped worshiping?
The living God who helped you in so many battles?
Israel cries in a single lament
Maybe God remembers Jacob's pet
Cry, Israel
Babylon is not your place
Cry out to your God, He will hear you
He will free you from the enemy
Cry, Israel
Babylon is not your place
Cry out to your God, He will hear you
He will free you from the enemy
Ah, Jerusalem, why have you stopped worshiping?
The living God who helped you in so many battles?
Israel cries in a single lament
Maybe God remembers Jacob's pet
Cry, Israel
Babylon is not your place
Cry out to your God, He will hear you
He will free you from the enemy
Cry, Israel
Babylon is not your place
Cry out to your God, He will hear you
He will free you from the enemy
