On this most crucial day,
When many Americans have their say.
We look to You above,
To You, the God of love.

Who sees all and knows all,
Even the nations that rise and fall.
Certainly, we live in tumultuous times.
Many hearts are heavy including mine.

The angst of a nation is at an all-time high.
Oh God, we ask that You hear our cry.
Here, we are being torn at the seams,
Now, a nightmare to our American Dreams.

Our hearts are burdened for the Land of the Free.
Help us, oh God, through Your eyes to see.
The angst of a nation has clouded our sight;
We have forgotten all that is truly right.

We are pulled in every direction.
What will solve it? An election?
Ours is a problem of the heart.
This is why we are torn apart.

The angst of a nation has brought us to a breaking.
Our only hope is another Great Awakening.
It is in these times that we are drawn to our knees.
It is for our great nation that we intercede.

You are awakening your church to call on You.
But after today our intercession cannot be through.
Oh God, help us return to one nation under God,
A land that is indivisible, on others we do not trod.

Let us be a land that is united once again.
Let the angst of this nation finally end.
You are our hope, not an R or a D,
You are our King, You have set us free.

Reveal yourself in these anxious days.
Oh God, help us always to follow Your ways.
The angst of a nation does drive us apart.
But let Your love be the place we start.

Heal our land,
As we turn from our evil ways.
We humbly bow before You.
Come and save the day.​
