ON MY KNEES FOR GHANA

For Ghana today O God, I am on my knees.

I pray for protection for her, and for peace.
Today flooding; tomorrow explosions:
O, how we wail in awful commotions!

I pray therefore, Father, that call on us:
If there be any more evils, let them pass.
Visit us and save us from any sorrow,
Planned against any of us tomorrow.

I pray for the president and the leaders:
Give them all divine wisdom, to lead us.
Lord, not by their will at all, for they are men;
But, for Your will I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
