America
At the crossroads
America's soul seems to be bound up and tied
Lord--
Untie the knot
Let America's soul be blessed once again.
Cleanse--
Wash us thoroughly
Purge us with waves of mercy so we will be cleansed
Waterfalls--
Let the waves of love and glory
Wash America's heart again from our sins
Lord--
We prayerfully humble ourselves
Help us turn now from our wicked ways
Seek-
We seek Thy face
Please hear our prayer and heal our dry land today
Create--
Create in us a clean heart
Renew a right spirit within our inner soul
Wash us--
Cleanse us thoroughly
Let Thy tides of time restore America's Soul once again.
