When The Tears That We Shed...
If there was ever a time in the history of America
where God's people should be seeking His face,
That time would be now...when heaven is looking
for repentance to come from this place.
And we, as God's people, who are called out of darkness
need to fast and pray hard for this nation.
Because the condition we're in has only one answer
and it's the God of our hope and salvation.
The problems that we're hearing on the evening news
and on the front of our newspaper pages,
Are rooted in our pride and rejection of the Lord
as the truth that transcends all the ages.
There's only one remedy for the crisis at hand
- a true revival led by God's Holy Spirit.
And it's God's people praying in dust & in ashes
so that people respond when they hear it.
It's time that America hears what sin is
from the Bible and God's point of view;
So that we as a nation can know where we've erred
against what is holy and true.
When the tears that we shed are on the altar at church
and not the steps of Wall Street each day,
Then we'll see the condition of America is spiritual
and revival will start when we pray.

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
