[Verse 1] Oh Lord What happened to this land We were singing about freedom Open hands Now our daughters learn the sound of distant guns And our sons come home with shadows from the sun [Chorus] Oh Lord Restore our country We’ve wandered so far from Your door We were made to be a light for the broken Not to raise our flag for war Oh Lord Restore our country Teach our leaders to be poor in pride Give us hearts that love our neighbor Till Your mercy turns the tide [Verse 2] Oh Lord We remember simple days Kitchen tables Sunday choirs Hands that prayed Now the screens are full of anger Fear And flames And we barely even say Your holy name [Chorus] Oh Lord Restore our country We’ve wandered so far from Your door We were made to be a light for the broken Not to raise our flag for war Oh Lord Restore our country Teach our leaders to be poor in pride Give us hearts that love our neighbor Till Your mercy turns the tide [Bridge] Start with me Lord Start with me (ohhh) Turn this restless heart around Let forgiveness flood these fields and streets Till grace runs through this ground [Chorus] Oh Lord Restore our country We’ve wandered so far from Your door We were made to be a light for the broken Not to raise our flag for war Oh Lord Restore our country From the courtroom to the kitchen floor Make us instruments of healing Till Your justice ends this war
