There was a time when you held dear
The Kingdom news that you declared.
But now your voice remains subdued
Because you hide what you once shared.
Return, relight your joy and hope;
Remember when you felt His care.
Then He will take you in His arms,
And He'll expunge the weight you bear.
This darkened world will meet its end,
So leave behind its noxious air.
Renew your love and trust in God;
Display the love you long to share.
The judgment day won't be delayed;
Return to God with tears and prayer.
Fulfill the vow you gladly made
The day He freed you from despair.
