Lord, Our Father, My God
As we, this country, commit
Our children and career soldiers
To do battle on foreign soil
We pray for their return
Incline Your ears to hear
Our cries, Lord of salvation
We will sing of your mercies
Mighty Lord God of hosts
Whose mightiness is like Yours
Yours is the heaven and the earth
Mercy and truth is before Your face
In Your righteousness exalt us
You are the glory of our strength
Our shields belong to You Lord
Our King is the Holy One
The Word, Your begotten Son
We have not kept Your Word
We have been ashamed of His name
When we prayed in the assembly
Forgive us Lord Jesus Christ
And allow us again to pray
In Your holy righteous name
We will accept Your grace
And sing praises to Your name
Holy One of God, Our Lord
Holy be the name of our Lord
Holy be the name of our King
From off our lips and in our hearts
Praise to the One that bore the cross
Praise to the One that rose to glory
Praise the One at Father’s right hand
He is faithful forever and ever
We will sing of Your mercies
We will walk in the light of grace
We will accept You as our salvation
And Your throne of righteousness
In the Holy name of Jesus Christ
We pray, AMEN

God, give us the strength to stay
Faithful to the prayer we pray this day
Fill the land with Your Holy Spirit
Let us speak in the Spirit tongue
Daily in the places where we pray
Let there be understanding of the Word
And a desire to sing Your praises
As we hope for things still unknown
We will sing to the Lord’s coming
And look forward to the day and hour
And live within the power and glory
Of the kingdom of God our Creator
You are our strength Lord Almighty
Our faith is a gift from the Faithful One
Our talents a gift from the Holy Spirit
The weak shall be made strong in You
The poor shall be seated in the high seat
And eat from the table that never wants
The rich shall count their riches lost
And the strong their strength as nothing
The strong man shall lift up the weak
And the rich man shall lift up the poor
The country shall boast of brotherhood
In the name of the Lord our God
And for as long as we do not forget
The name of the Lord Jesus Christ
And in His name stand before the Father
We shall shine as a diamond in the sun
But if we do not remember His name
If we continue to hide it from our prayers
Then these blessings will be only dreams
That we will be too foolish to dream
Sing praises to the Lord of lords
Sing glory to the King of kings
We will sing of Your mercies
We will pray to God our Father
In the name of the Lamb of God
In the holy name of Jesus Christ
We will pray, AMEN
