[Intro - Acoustic waltz; tremolo harmonica] [Verse 1 - Bubba, male solo] Shepherd, You who guided Joseph, From the cherubim shine bright; Stir Your strength before Your people, Come and save us by Your might. We have eaten bread of weeping, Drunk our tears in heavy measure; While our neighbors trade their laughter, Lord, remember us, Your treasure. [Chorus - Duet] Shine again upon Your vine, Let Your face restore our life; Turn us back, O God of armies, Save the planting of Your right. Look from heaven, come and tend us, Hear the scattered branches cry; Shine again upon Your vine, Let Your face restore our life. [Verse 2 - Darlene, female solo] From the ground of Egypt taken, You transplanted us with care; Made the room for roots to deepen, Spread our branches everywhere. Hills lay underneath our shadow, Boughs stretched riverward and seaward; Why have You removed our hedges? Boars and passersby devour us. [Instrumental Break - Dobro and tremolo harmonica] [Bridge - Darlene, female solo] See the vine Your hand has planted, Burned and broken, laid aside; Strengthen him at Your right hand, Lord, Whom You raised to stand beside. Give us life, we will invoke You; We will not turn back from Thee. [Final Chorus - Duet and small choir] Shine again upon Your vine, Let Your face restore our life; Turn us back, O God of armies, Save the planting of Your right. Look from heaven, come and tend us, Hear the scattered branches cry; Shine again upon Your vine, Let Your face restore our life. [Outro - Duet] Turn us back, and we will call You; Let Your face upon us shine.
