Lyrics
Jesus come and find yourself a Libyan bride
Invoking Jesus to find a bride from Libya
Come and make her yours, dressed in gold and white
Asking Jesus to marry the Libyan bride, symbolized by gold and white attire
For this wedding feast call from North and South
Calling people from North and South to join a celebratory wedding feast
"Libya shall be free! Spirit end this drought!"
Expressing hope for Libya's freedom and praying for an end to suffering
Raise up the valleys and bring low the pride
Calling for humility and leveling of pride
A pathway for Yahweh
Creating a path for Yahweh, the divine, to intervene
To heal the wounds of war
Seeking divine healing for the wounds of war
To break the yoke, my Lord
Pleading for the release from oppression
You shed your blood and tears
Reflecting on the sacrifice of blood and tears
For Simon of Cyrene
Specific reference to Simon of Cyrene, possibly highlighting shared suffering
Libya shall be free
Reiteration of hope for Libya's freedom
I speak a mystery, the desert we now see
Describing the current state of the desert as a mystery
The word of God in power, can change it to be green
Believing in the transformative power of the word of God
And though this is land dry I know and I believe
Expressing faith despite the dryness of the land
If we pray and sow in tears we shall one day gladly reap
Encouraging persistence in prayer and sowing despite challenges
Breakthrough is coming, this I believe
Confidently anticipating a breakthrough despite delays
My friend, though it tarry, we will wait and we will pray
Encouraging patience and continued prayer
For Jesus to make a way
Asking for divine intervention in creating a way
God of nations come I know you gave the Son
Recognizing God as the giver of the Son for all nations and peoples
For tribes, and peoples, tongues, my heart it prays and longs
Praying for diverse groups of people, expressing a longing for unity
I know you will not fail, before your throne to make
Confident in God's reliability to bring forth praise from all nations
A song of praise to rise, from every nation tribe
Envisioning a future of celebration and praise from every tribe
And after all these tears, I see Libya in the feast
Anticipating joy for Libya after enduring tears
To heal the wounds of war, to break the yoke, my Lord
Reiterating the plea for divine healing and liberation
You shed your blood and tears, for Simon of Cyrene
Recalling the sacrifice of blood and tears, specifically mentioning Simon of Cyrene
Libya shall be free
Reaffirming the hope for Libya's freedom
