(Gentle, melodic electric guitar picking)
(Bass guitar enters with a rhythmic, syncopated groove)
Oh, hear our humble prayer today
We lift our voices to the King of Kings
With hearts wide open, seeking Your face
Yeah, Lord, we need Your mercy now
Yahweh, You are the great and mighty one
You stand above the mountains and the stars
We look to You for strength in every trial
We look to You to heal our deepest scars
Yahweh, the light that guides us through the night
You keep us safe within Your loving hand
When shadows fall, You bring the morning bright
You are the bedrock where we take our stand
Oh Yahweh, You are so great
Oh Yahweh, please shower us with mercy now
Oh Yahweh, we place our lives in Your grace
Oh Yahweh, protect the children of the land
Oh Yahweh, You are so great
Oh Yahweh, please shower us with mercy now
Oh Yahweh, we place our lives in Your grace
Oh Yahweh, protect the children of the land
Look down upon the weary and the weak
Restore the hope that withered in the heat
You are the shepherd that the lost ones seek
You make our stumbling path feel light and sweet
We walk by faith and not by what we see
Your promises are true and they remain
You set the captives of the spirit free
You wash away the sorrow and the pain
Oh Yahweh, You are so great
Oh Yahweh, please shower us with mercy now
Oh Yahweh, we place our lives in Your grace
Oh Yahweh, protect the children of the land
Oh Yahweh, You are so great
Oh Yahweh, please shower us with mercy now
Oh Yahweh, we place our lives in Your grace
Oh Yahweh, protect the children of the land
(Brass section swells)
Let mercy rain, let mercy fall
Upon the great, upon the small
We trust in You, we trust in You
In everything that You will do
Yes, You are holy, yes You are kind
We leave the heavy burdens far behind
Oh Yahweh, You are so great
Oh Yahweh, please shower us with mercy now
Oh Yahweh, we place our lives in Your grace
Oh Yahweh, protect the children of the land
Oh Yahweh, You are so great
Oh Yahweh, please shower us with mercy now
Oh Yahweh, we place our lives in Your grace
Oh Yahweh, protect the children of the land
Protect the children, oh Lord
Keep them in Your mercy
Yahweh, be our shield
Forever and ever, amen
