Nehemiah’s Prayer

Lord we call upon your promise
And we stand upon your name
Though we’re exiled to far horizons
You’ll restore us to our land again

Lord we see our walls are fallen
And we live now with no defense
Lord we need your whole provision
To let us walk in your righteousness

We fall upon our knees
And confess our sins to you
From our father’s generations
And confess our own sins, too
Lord restore the ancient boundaries
And restore your guiding hand
Rain your blessing on your people
Flood your blessing on our land

Lord we wait for you to move us
And we wait to hear your call
Lord we stand upon your goodness
As we work to build these walls

We come home to make a difference
We come home to make a stand
Heal our hearts and heal our nation
Heal your people; heal our land

Heal our hearts and heal our nation
Heal your people; heal our land
