Father Bless Our Nation

O' Lord our Father bless our nation,
In fact bless your whole creation.
We need a revival in our land,
So we'll all join hand in hand.

There's wars and fighting all around,
You know Lord that sin abounds.
We're depending on your Grace,
As You put us in our place.

Guns and tanks won't win this war,
Peace is what I'm praying for.
I'm amazed that folks hate You,
After all that You went through.

I guess they just don't understand,
That You died for all sins of man.
If they were told and didn't believe,
Then there's no way that they'll receive.

Some seem to think they're here to stay,
As they go on their merry way.
Thinking there will be no end,
When You come they'll be surprised then.

All the people have their views,
So they air them in the news.
I can tell they don't agree,
As I watch them on T.V.

Dear Lord I pray for Is-ra-el,
That in peace they may dwell.
I know they're tired of war and strife,
They keep fighting for their life.

Turn their hearts to You again,
Let them return to their homeland.
Dear Lord this prayer to you I pray,
For You could come back anyday.
