Tuelo.M Herbert Poet Rhyme

Heal Our Land

HEAL OUR LAND

Dear Lord we pray heal our land
We know You are the Lord who hearkens to prayer
Who holds us with His victorious hand
And surely it is not in vain that in prayer we labour
Forgive Lord, our generation
That has deeply sunk in abomination


Our relationship with You has been superficial
Though You have shown us that to You we are special
We have plunged into this world’s pleasure
And have forgotten the things we must treasure
Polish us so that with your glory we may glow
Nurture us; enrich us so that we may grow


Our hearts are as hard as a flint
Break us so that we will not sink
We have been so proud
And put on a wicked crown
We say we love but we kill
Fill us with your love and let us live


Our promises have been empty
Our spirits haughty
Heal our land, heal our nation we pray
Before You our lives we lay
For You we desire to live long
And in pursuit of holiness and righteousness we want to finish strong
