[Lyric] The Time to Favor Zion (Ted Pearce)

[Verse 1]
Hear my prayer, O Lord
And let my cry come unto You
Please don't hide Your face from me
In the day of my trouble, no

[Chorus]
Oh, Shema Yisrael you have not been forgotten
Oh your time is come
Shema Yisrael you will not be forsaken
Oh the time to favor Zion
The time to favor Zion has come

[Verse 2]
For my days are like smoke
And all my bones are in the furnace
My heart so stricken and withered
I can't even eat my bread

[Chorus]
Oh, Shema Yisrael you have not been forgotten
Oh your time is come
Shema Yisrael you will not be forsaken
Oh the time to favor Zion
The time to favor Zion has come
[Interlude]
Oh

[Bridge]
For the name of the Lord
Will be declared in Zion
And His praise in Jerusalem
Jerusalem

[Verse 3]
This will be written for the future generation to come
Who knows the time to favor Zion has come
And for a people yet created who would praise the Lord
The time to favor Zion has come

[Outro]
Shema Yisrael
Shema Yisrael
The time to favor Zion
The time to favor Zion has come
The time to favor Zion
The time to favor Zion has come
