YOU'VE DELIVERED US FROM THE HANDS OF ENEMIES
AS YOU'VE DONE FOR YOUR CHILDREN THROUGH THE CENTURIES
WE'VE SEEN THE AWESOME POWER OF YOUR MIGHTY HAND
THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY AS YOU'VE BLESSED OUR LAND
BUT AS CHILDREN DISOBEY, WE'VE LOOKED THE OTHER WAY
AND TROD A PATH THAT DOESN'T LEAD TO YOU
BUT THERE ARE ONES WHO STILL BELIEVE
FATHER LET US INTERCEDE
FOR EVERY SOUL WHO WILL NOT SEE THE TRUTH

Chorus

LORD FORGIVE OUR FOOLISH WAYS
DRAW US NEAR TO YOU TODAY
GIVE US STRENGTH TO CHANGE OUR NATION ON OUR KNEES
FOR AMERICA, AMERICA
LET US INTERCEDE

FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY, PLEASE USE US LORD
THE WAGES OF OUR SIN, CANNOT BE IGNORED
WE WOULD SURELY PERISH IF YOU TURNED AWAY
AND TOOK AWAY THE BLESSING OF YOUR PERFECT GRACE
HOW PATIENTLY YOU WAIT, FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNSAVED
YOU GIVE US EVERY CHANCE TO LEAD THEM HOME
THOUGH MANY HAVE REFUSED
WE WILL LIFT THEM UP TO YOU
EVERY TIME WE COME BEFORE YOUR THRONE

REPEAT CHORUS
