Heartfelt Desire

When God restores a fortune,
It is like having a dream;
With relieving much tension,
Like the weight of a steel beam.

Then mouths are filled with laughter,
Tongues are filled with joyful song;
And praises come thereafter,
Continuing all night long.

For the Lord has done such things,
And spectacular to see;
As splendid each moment brings,
Giving so much joy to me.

So we become overjoyed,
Having the fortunes restored;
Remembering to avoid,
Tempting of the evil sword.

As with restoring the streams,
Of a dried up riverbed;
Visions that seemed like the dreams,
Able to rise from the dead.

Of those who cry when they plant,
Carrying his bag of seeds;
He will sing a happy chant,
Harvesting more than he needs.
