Lord we pray for this city
We ask for mercy here
And Lord we know You love this city
O Father draw them near
O Father draw them near
Great is the darkness
Greater still is the light of Jesus’ love
Strong are the chains
But even stronger is our God above
Great is the gift You offer all
New life in Jesus’ name
Now move on the hearts
Here in this city
Father spark the flame
