Psalm 81

🌟 Refrain 1
Sing aloud to God our strength,
Shout for the One who breaks our chains.

🎶 Verse 1 – The Festival Call
Lift up the song, strike the tambourine,
Let the harp and trumpet join the scene.
For this is the statute the Lord has made,
A feast of freedom, a holy parade.

🌟 Refrain 2
Blow the trumpet at the new moon’s rise—
Let praise ascend to the highest skies.

🎶 Verse 2 – God’s Rescue
“I removed the burden from your back,
I broke the yoke, I healed the crack.
In trouble you called, and I set you free,
I answered you from the secret sea.”

🌟 Refrain 3
You cried in the darkness, I heard your plea—
I am the God who sets captives free.

🎶 Verse 3 – The Warning
“But My people would not hear My voice,
Israel turned to another choice.
So I let them walk in their stubborn way,
Still hoping their hearts would return someday.”

🌟 Refrain 4
Oh, that My people would listen again—
I would break their chains and scatter their pain.

🎶 Verse 4 – The Promise
“If they would turn and walk in My light,
I’d crush their foes and end their fight.
With finest wheat I would make them whole,
And honey from the rock would fill their soul.”

🌟 Refrain 5
Honey from the rock, sweetness divine—
Life overflowing from Your design.

🌟 Refrain 6
Return to Your Shepherd, return to His call—
He lifts the weak and restores them all.

🌟 Refrain 7 (Final)
Sing for the God who sets us free—
Strength of His people, eternally.

🎤 Coda (optional gospel ending)
Sing it again…
Freedom begins…
Honey from the rock…
And joy that never ends.
