Lyrics
Verse 1
While o'er our guilty land, O Lord, we view the terrors of Your sword,
O where can all the helpless fly? To whom but You direct their cry?
Verse 2
On You, our guardian God, we call, before Your throne of grace we fall;
But is there no deliv'rance there? And must we perish in despair?
Verse 3
See, we repent, we weep, we mourn; to our forsaken God we turn;
O spare our guilty country, spare the Church which You have planted there.
Verse 4
We are the old, the sick, the lame; we blind and deaf cry Jesus' Name.
We plead Your mercy for His sake, and trust that You will not forsake.
Verse 5
Christ is our only righteousness, His death for us is our redress.
Your promise stronger than our sin; blot out O Lord what we have been.
Verse 6
We are your children after all, redeemed by Christ after the fall.
Marked with Your Name in Baptism, our home remains in Your Kingdom....
