"The people came… and said, We have sinned… against the LORD" (Numbers 21:7). "Let Thy hand be upon the man of Thy right hand, upon the son of man whom Thou madest strong for Thyself… Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause Thy face to shine; and we shall be saved" (Psalm 80:17-19). "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people" (Proverbs 14:34). "The prayers of the saints ascended up before God" (Revelation 8:4).
There
is a place we should begin,
A
prayer that patriot's should pray,
As
we confess our nation's sin
Against
the Lord to our dismay.
May
God convict us of our wrong
To
turn our hearts to Him again,
And
let the leader He makes strong
Arise
among the sons of men.
When
righteousness exalts a nation
And
sin's reproach is thus abhorred,
There
is a beacon of salvation
That
shines with blessing from the Lord.
As
incense, Lord, before Your throne,
Let
prayers of patriots ascend
That
Your dominion may be known
With
saving health that You extend.
