PRAYING FOR REVIVAL IN AMERICA
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from
their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I
will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV
I grew up loving Jesus
and blessing the USA—
With my classmates every morning
I’d bow my head and pray.
God Bless America we’d
sing
with heartfelt awe and pride
aware that God Almighty
was our nation’s Holy Guide
Our churches were full of people
and from our homes flags flew;
we saluted veterans, and
respected leaders, too.
We knew America was beautiful,
“God shed His grace on thee!”
then took that grace for granted
and failed to bend a knee.
The years have led us far off course;
and faith in God has waned—
Our leaders now get less respect.
The Bible’s been profaned.
In the shadow of 9/11
we live every day.
Many hearts are downcast;
many folks have lost their way.
So I’m praying for revival—
We need it desperately!
Let us repent before our God
with true sincerity.
When we return to follow Him
He’ll restore His loving grace.
From sea to shining sea, our Lord
will shine again His Face.
Oh, come and join your prayers to mine,
let’s do it every day.
Ask God to heal this troubled land
and vow to live His way.

Happy Independence Day!
