WE YOUR CHILDREN PRAY LORD
Humbly seek Your face
We turn from our sin Lord
You hear us as we pray
Healing King of nations
Let your kingdom come
Purify Your church Lord
Your glory over us
Heal us, forgive us
Restore our hearts again
Fill us, breathe upon us
Jesus, Jesus
Healer of nations, hope of salvation, (hope of the world)
Jesus, Jesus
King of our hearts, King of the broken
Lover of the wounded
Defender of the weak
Friend of the forgotten
You wipe away our tears
Your tears are falling down
