14 They were like cattle that are taken down to the plains.
    They were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.”

Where is your great love for us?
    Where is your power?
Why don’t you show us
    your tender love and concern?

    Jacob might not recognize us as his family.
But you are our Father, Lord.
    Your name is One Who Always Sets Us Free.

    our Redeemer(I) from of old is your name.
