SAVE US OH GOD

We confess, the sins of our nation

G C Am7 D

And Lord we are guilty, of a prayerless life

G C G C

We've turned away, our hearts from your laws

G C

And have taken for granted,

Am7 D

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.

And cleanse us with your rain.

Don't pass us by, Let this be the generation Lord,
