Oh
Lord,
we
seek
Your
face
for
our
land
Nigeria,
rise
and
take
your
stand (
Ad-lib:
Hallelujah!
Praise
God!)
Many
voices
shouting
in
the
street
We
see
the
hunger
and
the
bitter
heat
Accountability
is
what
we
need
From
the
top
to
bottom,
planting
better
seed
Oh,
we
pray
for
leaders
who
will
heal
the
soul
To
stop
the
corruption
and
to
make
us
whole (
Ad-lib:
Lord
have
mercy!)
Nigeria,
Nigeria,
turn
your
eyes
to
God
For
the
healing
power
of
the
heavenly
rod
We
cast
away
the
greed,
we
cast
away
the
shame
We
call
for
restoration
in
the
Holy
Name
Nigeria,
rise
up,
walk
in
the
light
Everything
hidden
will
come
to
sight
From
the
House
of
Law
to
the
pulpit
floor
We
asking
for
the
truth
and
nothing
more
Let
the
shepherds
guide
with
a
steady
hand
Bringing
back
the
peace
upon
this
land
No
more
bandit
hearts,
let
the
spirit
lead
Sowing
righteousness,
that
is
all
we
need
Sowing
righteousness,
that
is
all
we
need (
Ad-lib:
Thank
you
Jesus!
We
believe!)
Nigeria,
Nigeria,
turn
your
eyes
to
God
For
the
healing
power
of
the
heavenly
rod
We
cast
away
the
greed,
we
cast
away
the
shame
We
call
for
restoration
in
the
Holy
Name
Nigeria,
rise
up,
walk
in
the
light
Everything
hidden
will
come
to
sight
Oh,
may
the
justice
flow
like
a
mighty
stream
Bringing
back
the
glory
of
the
dreamer's
dream
From
the
North
to
the
South,
from
East
to
the
West
Lord,
put
our
great
nation
to
the
ultimate
test (
Ad-lib:
Glory!
Hallelujah!
We
rise!)
Nigeria,
Nigeria,
turn
your
eyes
to
God
For
the
healing
power
of
the
heavenly
rod
We
cast
away
the
greed,
we
cast
away
the
shame
We
call
for
restoration
in
the
Holy
Name
Nigeria,
rise
up,
walk
in
the
light
Everything
hidden
will
come
to
sight
Nigeria,
arise!
Let
the
light
shine
down (
Ad-lib:
Amen!
It
is
done!)
Our
hope
is
in
You,
Lord
Nigeria,
arise!
