A
Lord, we kneel down tonight before you
in sackcloth and ashes
to tell you we've sinned as nation
to beg your mercy with tears and sorrow
because we dishonored your name
Our flag and coat of arms is now before you
our anthem and land is before you
Give us ears to listen your words over again
give us a path to come back to your ways
and put a smile to our sad faces
teach us to count our days so we can grow wiser
we have nothing to offer but our prayers
we have nothing to give you but our broken hearts
remember your promise oh Lord
remember your words oh God
and open the curtains of your heart
so we can get in once more
Heal our land
Heal our land
with your compassion
Lord, we kneel down tonight before you
in sackcloth and ashes
to tell you we've sinned as country
to give account of all our words
because we dishonored your name
Our past and present is before you
so you can change our future
We come before you
with broken marriages, destroyed lives
to weep before your throne
We humble our pride and put our heads to the ground
to tell you we've had enough of ourselves
Don't hide your face from us Lord
because it is killing us deep inside
take away our clothes of shame
and put us robes of holiness
Lord hear our prayer now
Forgive our churches oh God
Forgive our pride and our dishonesty
We laughed at your Word
and now we are trembling
Please, listen
Descend to this land
Heal this land God
We need healing
Heal our land
Heal our land
With your compassion
in sackcloth and ashes
to tell you we've sinned as nation
to beg your mercy with tears and sorrow
because we dishonored your name
Our flag and coat of arms is now before you
our anthem and land is before you
Give us ears to listen your words over again
give us a path to come back to your ways
and put a smile to our sad faces
teach us to count our days so we can grow wiser
we have nothing to offer but our prayers
we have nothing to give you but our broken hearts
remember your promise oh Lord
remember your words oh God
and open the curtains of your heart
so we can get in once more
Heal our land
Heal our land
with your compassion
