thoughts in the night.

"Come, let us return to the Lord!

He has torn us in pieces;

now he will heal us.

He has injured us;

now he will bandage our wounds.

In just a short time,
he will restore us
so we can live in his presence.

Oh, that we might know the Lord!

Let us press on to know him!
Then he will respond to us

as surely as the arrival of dawn
or the coming of rains in early spring."
