That We May Be Worthy

A prayer for our nation
that we would be worthy
those who have fought for us
that have died for our freedom
a prayer that we would live
by our sacred creed
Never standing
for the cause of repression
always speaking out
for the cause of freedom
Resolute in our policies
the aims of our leaders
ever true to
the values we hold dear
