This Is Our Acceptable Time

This is a sweet song by Frank Andersen that could be used for gathering from the album Everything I Possess. I have my usual quibble about the voice of God flitting in and out of the text. It is available in the collection Scripture In Song.

Chorus

This is our acceptable time!
This is our day of salvation!
This is our acceptable time,
It will be the day of the Lord!


1 Gather you people! Return to your God!
Trusting his mercy and goodness again!
Give him your heart! Open your eyes!
See how your Saviour comes!


2 Listen, my people, when you were a child,
Out of your bondage I called you to me!
But when I called, you walked away!
How could I part with you?


3 You are my people, my choice, my delight!
Could I forget you, the child of my womb?
I am your God searching for you!
Give me your heart and live!
