Lyrics for The Desolate City By Doluwamu Kehinde Kenad
The world is bothered and in desolate
To an end, its inhabitants are scattered
Twisted is its surface
(None is left out)
As it is with the slave, so with his master
As with the maid, so with her mistress
As with the seller, so with the buyer
So we call on You – God! For we’re in distress
The wine mourns, the vine languishes
All the merry-hearted sigh (hmm) as death increases
The mirth of the tambourines is stilled
The noise of the jubilant is ceased
(Total Lockdown)
We fear to soon kiss the world goodbye nowadays
So with consciousness of mind, hugs and handshakes
are placed on holidays
The earth mourns and withers
“The people are angry”
The world mourns and withers
“Business people” laments. May are hungry
They say, social distancing is the key
Touch not Your mouth, node and wash Your hands clean
I say, sanitize not just Your hands
Purify too Your heart
Say to THE CREATOR with Your knees on the floor
Heal our desolate city
That our barns may be filled with plenty of food
and fruits to give to those who are hungry
and quench the thirst of the needy
because…
we’ve got nothing but desolation left in the city
Isaiah 24:1-13
Peace
