Loose the Chains

This song is based on Isaiah 58. I found it particularly meaningful.
[Verse 1]
Cry aloud, O voice of thunder,
Lift your trumpet, do not cease!
Tell My people how they've wandered,
How by sin they've lost their peace.
Day by day they come before Me,
Claim to seek My holy way,
Yet their hearts, so far, ignore Me,
Though their lips may seem to pray.
[Verse 2]
“Why,” they ask, “have we been fasting?
Why, O Lord, do You not see?
We have bowed with sorrow lasting,
Still, You turn away from me.”
But you fast while still oppressing,
Strike with fists and speak in spite!
Do you think I’d grant my blessing
When your hearts betray the light?
[Chorus]
Loose the chains of all oppression,
Let the yoke of burden cease!
Feed the hungry, share possessions,
Clothe the naked, walk in peace.
Then your light will rise like morning,
Healing springing forth so bright,
And My glory will be shining,
Guarding you by day and night.
[Verse 3]
Call to Me, and I will hear you,
Cry for help, I’ll answer near.
Turn from wrath, let love endear you,
Wipe away the scornful sneer.
If you feed the poor and stranger,
Lift the lost, the weak, the small,
Then I’ll keep you safe from danger,
Light will break where shadows fall.
[Bridge]
Like a garden ever flowing,
Like a spring that will not dry,
I will lead where winds are blowing,
Satisfy when drought is nigh.
You’ll rebuild the ruins broken,
Raise up walls from days of old,
“Restorer” shall be your token,
Hope renewed in streets of gold.
[Verse 4]
If you keep My Sabbath holy,
Turn from seeking your own way,
Find delight in rest most holy,
Honor My most sacred day.
Then you'll know the joy I give you,
Rise above on wings of grace,
Feast upon the gifts I bring you,
In My love, your dwelling place.
[Chorus]
Loose the chains of all oppression,
Let the yoke of burden cease!
Feed the hungry, share possessions,
Clothe the naked, walk in peace.
Then your light will rise like morning,
Healing springing forth so bright,
And My glory will be shining,
Guarding you by day and night.
