Oh Lord, hear our cry tonight.
(Yes Lord)
The soul of this country has been tried and tested,
On the altar of violence, under boots and the guns.
Too much blood has been spilled, too many lives invested,
But we are looking to the heavens for the rising sun.
We’ve been living in the shadows of deceit and the pain,
But Your grace is sufficient to wash away the stain.
(Hallelujah)
Oh Lord, deliver us from the division and deceit,
Let us walk in respect, let us stand on our feet.
We don't have to tear each other down to be strong,
In Your love and Your peace is where we belong.
(Amen, praise Him)
Men of war bring the fire, but You bring the rain,
To heal every heart and to silence the pain.
We can live apart in peace, celebrating the good,
Walking in the light of divine brotherhood.
No more weapons of war, no more cries in the dark,
Put a spirit of love deep inside of our heart.
(Thank You Jesus)
Oh Lord, deliver us from the division and deceit,
Let us walk in respect, let us stand on our feet.
We don't have to tear each other down to be strong,
In Your love and Your peace is where we belong.
Let goodwill reign.
Peace and progress, yes Lord.
Amen.
