Psalm 85:1-3 LORD, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.

Psalm 85:1-3 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. LORD, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your hot anger.

Again and again, Lord, You have called Your people out of their Egypts. You, the Gracious God call to Your people in revival and restoration. We, Your church, have sinned, we have followed other gods, we have forsaken our first love, and yet You, in Your grace and mercy, have reached out to gather us in again.
