From the recording MAYDAY
Mayday was written for the day of repentance and first performed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial
Lyrics
God blessed a land that’s free
From sea to shining sea
Blessed is a nation
Whose God is the Lord
But turning from Your face
We’ve chosen our own way
Only to find ourselves,
Drowning in distress
Have we gone too far away…
To find our way back to You?
We are your people
Called by your name
Running back to You
We’re running back to You
Forgive our sin
Heal our land
Running back to You
We’re running back to You
Into Your arms once again
Forgive us of our sin, Jesus
We see our blood stained hands
Brought guilt upon this land
The cries of children
We chose to ignore
And then we banned Your Name
We have ourselves to blame
Our pride of sin is on parade
Have we gone too far away…
To find our way back to you?
We embrace the lies as truth
We have lost our way
We are calling out to You,
Mayday! Mayday!
Mayday! Mayday!
