Lord, I look around at a beauty that only you could crate: Majestic mountains, the bright blue sea, endless pastures of green. I see sunsets that proclaim your glorious name, they leave me speechless, in awe of you. Your love is spoken gently with the cool breeze. Those who look with open eyes cannot help but see Your presence filling this land and your heart breaking for your people. Beautiful ones from every nation , tribe, and tongue look everywhere but to you. These are your people, lost, confused, searching for Truth, unaware they searching for You.
The cries go out: Save the Land, the Birds, the Sea! 100% Pure NZ-keep her clean, safe, and secure. Open their eyes to see the faces behind this purity: children abused-abandoned, youth suicide, spousal abuse, drunkenness, abortion, legal prostitution, soft porn flashing across the TV screen. This nation is in desperate need of healing--they need You-we need You! Your truth, a purity not found on land, in birds, or the sea.
They fool themselves in a masquerade-No worries, she'll be right, give it a go, good on ya! Nice words, nice people, good intentions, open-mind to all but You. Though without You the masquerade is headed straight to Hell.
INTERVENE, INTERCEDE, REVEAL YOURSELF! Rip away the scales from their eyes, let them see with vision untainted. The Pure NZ that could be: filled with your glory, a beacon for all the world to see.
Holy Spirit rain down you mercy, send the hand of the Healer, bring wisdom to your people. Let those who shine for you not be ashamed, Move through your church-The Body-stir our hearts so we begin to pray: Lord, give us the nations, let Your people Hear with open ears, See with open eyes, know with a renewed mind that You are the Lord: The Lover, Creator, Ruler of All.
AMEN
