Abençoado

We live in a world that is constantly being divided

By every trick and scheme of the enemy

Racial oppression has divided us

Economic inequality has divided us

Political injustice has divided us

Status and postition have divided us

Culture and class have divided us

These divisions have not brought healing to our land

These divisions have merely caused us to hate with a deeper hate

Distrust with a more cynical distrust

Destroy with a greater destruction

The condition of our land and country must now bring us to our knees

There is a spiritual awakening happening throughout our nation

And this spiritual awakening will only happen when we kneel to pray

Oh, Lord, teach us how to pray

Oh, Lord, teach us how to pray

Oh, Lord, teach us to pray for deliverance

From all emotional, mental, and substance abuse

Oh, Lord, teach us how to pray

Teach us how to pray for peace in our nation

Oh, Lord, teach us how to pray

Teach us how to pray for love

Regardless of race, color, creed, or nationality

Oh, Lord, teach us how to pray

Show us your will and your way

Oh, Lord, give us your peace

There is a spiritual awakening happening throughout our nation

And this spiritual awakening will only happen when we kneel to pray

Oh, Lord, teach us how to pray

Oh, Lord, teach us how to pray

Oh, Lord, teach us to pray for deliverance

From all emotional, mental, and substance abuse

Oh, Lord, teach us how to pray
