A Prayer for our Country

2 Cornicles 7:14

“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray,

and seek my face, and turn from their wicked way;

then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin,

and will heal their land.”

A prayer for Our Country

We humbly pray for the U S of A,

It lost its way the other day.

The other day, as strange as that appears;

To God one day could be a thousand years.

Dear Father in Heaven, we’re divided and lost,

We have pushed you aside no matter the cost.

So, we ask for your blessings, your mercy, your grace,

It’s our grandchildren God, who’ll be stuck in this place.

We pray for them now, for we do love them so,

And it saddens us to think this is all they may know.

May your spirit rain down Lord, all over this land,

And unite us again with the touch of your hand.

May your people now realize the importance of prayer,

And know you are listening and know that you care.

May we stay on our knees and lift up our voice,

And understand clearly there’s no other choice.

We need an awakening, a revival it’s true,

But what we need more is a real glimpse of you.

As you touch the heart of each woman and man,

Oh God, please bless this great country again.

We praise you and thank you for what you will do,

Lord, our prayer is to find our way back to you.

Amen
