We confess the sins of our nation And Lord we are guilty of a prayerless life We’ve turned away our hearts from Your laws And have taken for granted Your unchanging grace Turn away this curse from our country We say that we’ve robbed You and our storehouses are bare Open wide the floodgates of heaven Rebuke the devourer so we may not be destroyed You said that if we’d humble ourselves and begin to pray You would heal our barren land and cleanse us with Your rain Don’t pass us by, let this be the generation Lord That lifts up Your name to all the world Save us oh God, save a people for yourself oh Lord Let the fear of the Lord be their standard Save us oh God, cleanse us from our unfaithfulness Let the place where we live be called a house of prayer
