Come back O loving Lord

With goodness in Your hands

Turn all our rebel towns into\\xa0

Your own crown lands

\\xa0Forgive O Mighty Judge

Go gaze on Calvary\\u2019s cross

Upon our hard and graceless hearts\\xa0

Your love emboss

\\xa0Come fill us with fresh hope

Establish all our plans

Come raise us on Your shoulders as

Your blood bought lambs

\\xa0Rule us O our Great King

With Your rod of grace and iron

[i]Crestfallen standards tread beneath

Your rampant Lion

\\xa0Come back O loving Lord

With goodness in Your hands

Turn all our rebel towns into\\xa0

Your own crown lands

PREAMBLE |\\xa0 \\xa0

\\u201cThen the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his leaders, and spoke according to the command of the king: \\u201cChildren of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.\\xa0 And do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers, so that He gave them up to desolation, as you see.\\xa0 Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the Lord; and enter His sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the Lord your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you. (2 Chronicles 30:6-8 NKJV)

EXPLANATION |\\xa0 \\xa0

I wrote this hymn on New Year\\u2019s day 2013. I was impressed again at the firework displays in many of our planet\\u2019s cities. Millions of pounds spent by rebel communities in celebrating the coming of God\\u2019s gift of another day of His grace and favor for us another year. Rebel cities, full of rebel people, anti-God city states all raised up against the King of heaven. I wonder, if it\\u2019s possible in an earthly Metropolis this side of Maranatha I do not know, but I wondered what a city would like if every inch was truly the \\u2018Crown land of the God of heaven. This is a prayer for such a time, a blessed time of reaping for our cities.

[i] When this poem was turned into a song, listening to it along with the tune made me halt at this line. What am I talking about? Surely Jesus would lift up the crestfallen depressed standards of His people? Well, I suppose he would, but this is with reference to the crushing of our depression which is caused by the fallen moral standards of our nation as a clear result of our forsaking God.
