To You Lord God our Eternal Father,
On this most precious day,
For all the people of this nation,
We are gathered here to pray.
As we bow our heads in sorrow,
We repent of all the wrong we’ve said and done,
For the agony, torture and most brutal death,
Which we caused Your Beloved Son.
As we look across our land today,
We see the destruction caused by sin,
So many people have turned away from God,
And allowed Satan to walk right in.
Even though Jesus had tried to warn us,
The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy,
Sadly this is becoming more and more evident,
As the months and years go by.
And yet despite what’s going on around us,
We gather in strength and not in fear,
For we place all our trust in Jesus,
Who is the source of our good cheer.
For this battle has already taken place,
Two thousand years ago at the cross,
It was Jesus who rose triumphantly,
Leaving Satan to suffer the loss.
So if we choose to confess that Jesus,
Is our risen Lord and King,
Then I believe that our Heavenly Father,
We give us a brand new song to sing.
It will be a song about the great revival,
That will spread to every corner of this land,
When all the people united in one belief,
That God’s Kingdom was now at hand.
A song of a God so rich in love,
Towards a people who had turned away,
Yet He waited in patience, in love and hope,
That we would come back to Him one day.
It will be a song of a nation transformed,
To one of gain instead of loss,
When all the people put their trust in Jesus,
And His finished work upon the cross.
Amen
