A Prayer For Our Nation'S Leaders (Based On Psalm 72)
Stephen Knight
4:42The Spirit of the Lord is upon me He's anointed me to bring good news To bind up the broken-hearted Set the captives free from their chains Proclaim the year of the Lord's favor Vengeance day for those lost in sin Comfort all those who mourn in Zion Give them garlands where sorrow's been Beauty for ashes Joy for despair A garment of praise in the midnight air We are the oaks Righteousness we wear Planted by the Lord Tended with care Rebuild ancient ruins once shattered Raise up the former devastations Repair the ruined cities Generations see His salvation Foreigners will shepherd your flocks Nations call you priests of the Lord You will eat the riches of kings In their glory you'll be adorned Beauty for ashes Joy for despair A garment of praise in the midnight air We are the oaks Righteousness we wear Planted by the Lord Tended with care Tended with care
