“Return To Me”
(Based on the Book of Zechariah)
Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts
Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts
and I will return to you
I will return to you
I am zealous for Jerusalem
And for Zion with great zeal
I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease
For I was a little angry, and they helped – but with evil intent
Oh Lord, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah
the Lord answered the angel with good and comforting words
Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts
Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts
and I will return to you
I will return to Jerusalem with mercy
My house shall be built there
says the Lord of hosts
The towns shall again spread out through prosperity
Jerusalem will once again be His chosen city
He will comfort the people of Zion
(short solo)
Run and tell that young man
Jerusalem will become a city without walls
I will be a wall of fire around it, says the Lord
and I will be the glory within it
Then the Lord says to the nation which plunder you
For he who touches you touches the apple of His eyes
I will shake my hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants
Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me
The Lord rebuke you, Satan!
The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you!
Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?
The Angel said to Joshua
I have taken away your sin
now I will clothe you with beautiful robes
Let them put a clean turban on his head
Listen, Joshua, the high priest
You are a sign of things to come
I will bring my servant
The name is Branch
I put this stone in front of you
A stone with seven sides
I will carve a message on it
Says the Lord of hosts
And in one day I will take away the sin of this land
(guitar solo)
Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts
Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts
and I will return to you
I will return to you
Behold, I will save My people from the land of the east and the land of the west
I will bring them back
and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem
They shall be My people and I will be their God
In truth and righteousness
And the Lord will be King over the whole world
On that day, there will be only one Lord and His name will be the only name
