A Call For Renewal by Richard Shekari from Abuja, Fct Nigeria

a for renewal

verse 1: (john)
we have sown to the wind,
we have gone our own way,
we have left you out in the cold.
you gave us your word;
you are true and just,
the first and last from days of old.

verse 2: (john)
what will it take to make us turn back to you?
what will it take to make us see
that you are the way to peace inside?
it is through christ that we are free.

chorus:
come, heal the world, holy father,
we pray for thy kingdom to come.
we declare you as lord,
come, renew our hearts, dear lord.

verse 3: (richard)
we've searched and searched
throughout all the mountains, yet could not find;
your kind is rare, it's true. lord, you are fair and just.
yes, throughout time, you've proven your worth in all times.
lord, come with your justice, bring an end to all injustice.

spoken word: (richard)
we’ll set our eyes up above, unto the one who is light and love.
as we await the king of kings, we’ll sing to his holy name.
for there is none like the lord; joyful is he who trusts in the lord.
blessed are those who wait on the lord.
(for he will bring an end to all injustice.)
