We pray for our nation – v2


We lift up this week
our precious land, of our nation,
our Independence Day
when we shook off the shackles.

We pray for our country,
for those who love her
for all who protect her,
guarding the dream of America

We lift up those standing guard
in the dark places of this world
so that we may remain free
the hope of the nations.

We pray for our nation
for the warring factions
Democrats, Republicans
those in the middle

May we be faithful
to those who before us
may we honor
the dream that we share

A world, a nation
better than we found her
lifting up our neighbors
the hope in our freedom

One nation together
a blending of other peoples
together stronger
by the binding of our threads
