Story behind the song
This was one of the first (if not the VERY first) choral pieces written in response to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. May God continue to bless and to heal our nation.
Lyrics
Our God, to Thee we pray. Heal our nation, Lord, today. God of mercy, grant us courage. Give us peace. When evil draws its angry sword and seeks to sever freedom's cord, When death and darkness shake our faith in God's unfailing power to save, Eternal Father, ever be our courage in the time of need. When war is waged by faceless foes who battle peace with fiery blows, When storms of hate and fear assail, our Father's mighty arm prevails, Eternal Father, ever be our refuge in the time of need. Amen.
