In a world where we're losing hope
And life has us on the ropes
Misunderstandings
Hate running rampant
Every man out for his own
It seems like we've lost our way
And the distance grows every day
Thought that we had it
Caught in the madness
Oh, ain't it tragic?
But You said
If we turn from our wicked ways
And humbled ourselves and pray
And seek Your face
You'd give us grace
Oh come, have Your way, Lord
Here we are
Abandoned hearts
On bended knees with outstretched arms
God, hear us from Heaven
Send us Your presence
We need You, Lord
We need You, Lord
We need You, Lord
Summer and spring may pass
But winter and fall won't last
I can trust the Creator's
Perfect in nature
Better is coming, I know
And just like the rising sun
Our faith is rising up
You're the God of Your promise
And what You have started
You're faithful to finish
'Cause You said
If we turn from our wicked ways
Humbled ourselves and prayed
And seek Your face
You'd give us grace
Oh come, have Your way, God
Here we are
Abandoned hearts
On bended knees with outstretched arms
God, hear us from Heaven
Send us Your presence
We need You, Lord
We need You, Lord
We need You, Lord
Right here, right now
Oh, Lord
Come and heal our land
Oh, Lord
Come and heal our land
Oh, Lord
Come and heal our land
(Only You can do it)
Oh, Lord
Come and heal our land
(We need You, Lord)
Oh, Lord
Come and heal our land
(We need Your movement, Your spirit, come and heal)
Oh, Lord
Come and heal our land
(Right here, right now, right here, God)
Lord
Come and heal our land
(We're desperate, we're desperate, God)
Oh, Lord
Come and heal our land
Here we are
Abandoned hearts
On bended knees with outstretched arms
God, hear us from Heaven
Send us Your presence
We need You, Lord
We need You, Lord (Here we are)
Here we are
Abandoned hearts
On bended knees with outstretched arms
God, hear us from Heaven
Send us Your presence
We need You, Lord
We need You, Lord
We're desperate, we need You, Lord
Let your kingdom come
Let Your will be done
Let Your glory fall on Your daughters and sons
God, hear us from Heaven
Send us Your presence
We need You, Lord
We need You, Lord
We need You, Lord
We need You, Lord
Come and move
We say yes to You
Come and move
We say yes to You
(We need You) Come and move
We say yes to You
(Yes to Your will and yes to Your way)
Come and move
We say yes to You
Come and move
We say yes to You
(In our hearts right now, God)
Come and move
We say yes to You
Come and move
We say yes to You (Come and move)

We say yes to You
Come and move
We say yes to You
Come and move
We say yes to You
