Hymn Lyrics

this is what they heard;

"Heavenly Father,

We come before you today To ask your forgiveness and

To seek your direction and guidance.

We know Your Word says,

"Woe to those who call evil good"

But that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium

And reversed our values.

We have exploited the poor and

Called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness

And called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn

and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists

And called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline

Our children and called it Building self esteem.

We have abused power

And called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbour's

Possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air With profanity and

Pornography and called it

Freedom of speech and expression.

We have ridiculed the time Honoured values of our

Forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh, God, And know our hearts today;

Cleanse us from every sin

And set us free.
