lyrics

Book of Habakkuk: A paRAPhrase

1 The prophecy as Habakkuk the prophet dropped it.
Habakkuk Complains:

2 How long, Lord must I sing this song,
and your ears not hear? [x2]

Why do I cry “Violence!”
and see salvation silence?
3 Why do you make me look at crooks?
Why do you take such evil book-cooking?
Destruction of life is before me,
you ignore rife strife,
astounding dysfunction abounding.
4 Therefore the Law is paralyzed,
we saw justice sterilized by lies.
The wicked stick it to the righteous,
so the light gets evicted.

How long, Lord
must I sing this song,
and your ears not hear? [x2]
