This song is a statement about where we are as a nation; and where we should be as a people. (Lead guitar - James Griffiths)
Let's just call it a "Cyber Ministry"!!!!
Story behind the song
This song originated from our history as a nation and how we've managed to let them ban God and His Word from the schools and so many other things. It's about what we used to teach, and what we teach now. It's about falling on our knees and begging forgiveness for what we've done in relation to our Creator. Father, forgive us for what we've done.
Lyrics
FATHER FORGIVE US
Father forgive us as we cry out as one
We as a nation have come undone
We were built on Your Word…way back then
The Bible was the law…the law of the land
They once taught about You…in the local school
You stood for everything right…the golden rule
All they teach them now is how to get ahead and win
But they took You out…and let the devil in
CHORUS
Father forgive us for what we’ve done
With our face to the ground…in the name of Your Son
We’re crying out to You to cleanse this land
And cause us to stand…for You again
They’ve thrown out Your word…the only solution
Now all they have is theory…big bang…evolution
Father forgive us for leading them astray
And not teaching of You…the Truth and Life…the Way
We pray for those who have rejected You
Father forgive them…they know not what they do
Everywhere we turn there’s corruption and sin
God we fall on our knees…and cry out again
CHORUS
