Ps 12 Help, Lord

Please share the Word!

[Verse 1]
Help, O Lord, we cry to You
Faithful hearts are far and few
Lying lips speak empty praise
Truth has vanished in our days
[Pre-Chorus]
Who will stand, O Lord of light?
Who will rise for what is right?
[Chorus]
You will arise, You will arise
For the poor, for the broken cries
You will defend
Those who sigh and lift their eyes
Your words are pure,
Like silver in the flame
You never change
Forever You remain
[Verse 2]
They have said, “Our lips are free”
“No one rules or speaks to me”
But You, O Lord, see every boast
You lift the weak when they need You most
[Bridge] (optional – to build energy)
Every word You speak is true
Tested, pure, and ever new
You will keep us in this fight
Through the dark, You shine Your light
[Final Chorus]
You will arise, You will arise
For the poor, for the broken cries
You will defend
Those who sigh and lift their eyes
Your words are pure,
Like silver in the flame
You never change
Forever You remain
[Outro – softly]
Forever You remain
