For Such a Time As This

Lord as we celebrate the freedom of our land
So graciously protected by your great and mighty hand
Would you reach down from above into the depths of me
Release your perfect peace within and set my spirit free
There is a constant battlefield raging in my soul
Please saturate me in your blood and make me fully whole
I know you have great plans for me this is what you said
Please resurrect my buried dreams and raise them from the dead
Your blessings and your promises I don't want to miss
I know you've created me for such a time as this
