Heal Our Land

God of heaven and earth, behold our great nation, Deliver us from frequent abomination; Moral living is suffering great deviation. And surely we need your forgiveness Heal our Land. Only few have your fear, O Lord, Your simplest commandment many can't afford While religion has become only a social ford. And surely we need your forgiveness Heal our Land. Corruption becomes the theme of the day, Many like to acquire, but hate to pay; Nobody likes the change no matter the say. And surely we need your forgiveness Heal our Land. The beauty of plain truth is concealed And bitterness of deceit is revealed; Integrity is silent and sealed. And surely we need your forgiveness Heal our Land. Only few are of a reason school That there best produce a fool; The intellectual is turned cool. And surely we need your forgiveness Heal our Land. Exploitation wears expensive coat Ready to cut his brothers throat And turn his neighbour to a goat. And surely we need your forgiveness Heal our Land. Our landlords in expectations great Do set their houses in such heat, For the least rent the poor can't beat. And surely we need your forgiveness Heal our Land. Our leaders in games of false propaganda Thus produce counterfeit agenda; The greatest leader is the best pretender. And surely we need your forgiveness Heal our Land. Evil heaps in every place, Hatred wears a friendly face; A man will seek his friends disgrace. And surely we need your forgiveness Heal our Land. How easily we're carried away in lust And forgetting that death is a must, When it's certain we'll end up as dust. And surely we need your forgiveness Heal our Land.
