I pray for the people
I pray for the nation
For us to bow before You
And humble ourselves and pray
You hear our prayer from heaven
You heal our land today
You turn our hearts
From all the wicked ways
I kneel right now before You
I lift my hands towards the heavens
I pray yes I pray
For Your mercy and grace over us
You’re seated on the highest throne
You’re lifted up above all things
Exalted and adored, I worship You in awe
Be glorified and magnified
Exalted and adored, I worship You in awe
Be glorified and magnified
There’s now no more, condemnation
Over this land no more
There’s now no more, no more curses
Over our lives over, our family, over our church
Today
We humble our selves and pray
(You hear our prayer from heaven)
We turn from our wicked ways
(You heal our land today)
(repeat 3x)
