[male vocals] Oh,
hear
my
prayer
today
From
across
the
ocean,
Lord,
we
pray
Mr.
President,
I
come
to
you
with
a
heavy
heart
Asking
for
grace
where
the
world
has
fallen
apart
My
name
is
Martin
Louis,
speaking
from
distant
lands
Placing
this
humble
request
into
your
steady
hands
We
know
that
justice
is
the
cornerstone
of
the
state
But
mercy
is
the
key
that
opens
up
the
gate
People
make
mistakes,
heavy
burdens
they
must
bear
I'm
calling
on
your
spirit,
hoping
you
will
hear
my
prayer
Have
mercy,
have
mercy,

Yes
Lord,
let
the
chains
of
his
sorrow
fall
away
He
is
a
brother,
a
husband,
a
son
to
someone
dear
We're
asking
for
compassion,
Mr.
President,
please
hear
Oh,
glory,
let
the
light
of
forgiveness
shine
through
Grace
is
the
power
that
we're
asking
from
you
We
look
back
at
the
songs
that
touched
the
weary
soul
Helping
broken
hearts
reach
out
and
become
whole
He’
s
a
man
of
family,
flawed
as
all
men
are
Looking
for
a
glimmer
of
mercy
from
afar
Though
the
mistakes
were
grave
and
the
truth
is
hard
to
face
We’
re
begging
for
the
triumph
of
your
sovereign
grace
Yes
Lord,
let
the
walls
of
that
prison
cell
come
down
Let
mercy
be
the
treasure
in
this
golden
crown
Have
mercy,
have
mercy,

Can

what
has

torn?
Can
we
find
the
hope
to
help
a
soul
be
reborn?
Thank
You
Jesus,
for
the
love
that
covers
all
sin
Let
the
season
of
his
freedom
now
begin
Amen,
let
it

let
the
plea
be
heard
We’
re
holding
onto
hope
on
your
every
word
From
Africa
to
America,
the
message
carries
light
Asking
for
a
new
day
to
end
the
darkest
night
For
every
life
he
touched,
for
every
song
he
gave
We’
re
looking
for
a
way
for
this
man
to
be
saved
Praise
Him
for
the
mercy
that
we
all
need
to
find
Leaving

judgment
