[Chorus]
O Lord, have mercy on our land,
Forgive us by Thy mighty hand,
From sin and sorrow set us free,
And heal our dear Nigeria.
[Verse 1]
Almighty God, before Thy throne,
We bow and humbly mourn our sin,
We have forsaken all Thy ways,
O Lord, forgive and cleanse within.
[Chorus]
O Lord, have mercy on our land,
Forgive us by Thy mighty hand,
From sin and sorrow set us free,
And heal our dear Nigeria.
[Verse 2]
For blood unjustly shed, we grieve,
For pride, deceit, and selfish gain,
For all the helpless we ignored,
Have mercy, Lord, and cleanse our stain.
[Chorus]
O Lord, have mercy on our land,
Forgive us by Thy mighty hand,
From sin and sorrow set us free,
And heal our dear Nigeria.
[Verse 3]
Forgive the hatred in our hearts,
The tribal walls that keep apart,
Unite us in Thy holy love,
And give us one obedient heart.
[Chorus]
O Lord, have mercy on our land,
Forgive us by Thy mighty hand,
From sin and sorrow set us free,
And heal our dear Nigeria.
[Verse 4]
Restore the truth within our gates,
Let justice flow throughout the land,
Raise faithful leaders who will fear
Thy holy Word and righteous hand.
[Chorus]
O Lord, have mercy on our land,
Forgive us by Thy mighty hand,
From sin and sorrow set us free,
And heal our dear Nigeria.
[Verse 5]
Revive Thy Church, renew our homes,
Turn every wandering soul to Thee,
Let peace and holiness arise,
And bless our dear Nigeria.
[Chorus]
O Lord, have mercy on our land,
Forgive us by Thy mighty hand,
From sin and sorrow set us free,
And heal our dear Nigeria.
[Final Chorus]
O Lord, have mercy on our land,
Forgive us by Thy mighty hand,
From sin and sorrow set us free,
And heal our dear Nigeria.
