This is the lyric script we used for the videoPost CommentA City on its Knees © 2000Jeff Richfield
Oh Lord hear the cry of the city - You’ve captured our hearts - You brought us very low to this place . Can you hear the cry of the city? We callin’ on Your name, Were the church that bears your name . Will you come and heal this land, and breathe on us again?CHORUS:
We come to pray as a city on its knees Lifting Holy hands to Jesus our King
We seek Your face, we hear Your voice - Today we make the choice - To be a city on its kneesVERSE 2
Oh Lord bring revival to the city - Unite the fathers to the sons
May their heart beat as one - Send me to the poor and the hungry
Set the captives free, Only You can set them free - Holy Spirit come and breath, breath on me againCHORUS REPEAT
BRIDGE: (II Chronicles 7:14)Lord, we are your people, who are called by Your name
Lord, we want to know you, please forgive our sin and heal our land…CHORUS REPEAT - into BREAKDOWN
