IN OUR DESPERATION
Heal our broken nations God
We are so determined
‘Cause our hearts are burdened God
Bring Your fire to this land
Heal our hearts with Your hand O God
Pray for peace in our nations
This is our supplication O God
In this final hour
Show to us Your power God
May this generation
God and shake the nations God
Mark Tedder
