Select language to translate this lyric
How can we stay silent
When the noise of praise has gone?
Our tongues can't dare keep quiet
Til His Righteousness shines like the dawn
How can we grow tired
When his return is nigh?
The skyline will burn bright again
Like a diadem on the crown of Christ
A brand new name,
Straight from the mouth of God,
The orphaned ones now take
Through the waning years He preserves His own
In a City No Longer forsaken
How can we not clear the way
With such open grace?
How can we withhold our prayers
To the God who spares all who His seek His face?
A brand new land
Tilled by his tender hand
the thorns and thistles break
From the desert sand the harvest comes
In a city no longer forsaken
Unbend the road, the Savior rides!
Send up the signal high
Over the gravel waste, His highway runs
In a city no longer forsaken
Every door will be stained with Salvation's name
In a City no Longer Forsaken
