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
