Prayer
for
Peace)
Theme
Scripture "
God
is
our
refuge
and
strength,
a
very
present
help
in
trouble." —
Psalm 46:1
A
day
of
sorrow.
A
day
of
tears.
A
day
that
deeply
shook
many
hearts.
Yet
God
remains
on
the
throne.
Verse 1
I
was
sitting
quietly
in
my
home
that
day,
My
spirit
was
heavy,
though
I
could
not
explain
why.
Then
a
call
came
from
a
colleague
of
mine: “
Rex,
please
pray
for
us.
There
is
trouble
everywhere.”
Fear
filled
the
city,
confusion
filled
the
air,
People
were
running,
others
were
crying
out
in
prayer.
Lord,
have
mercy
on
our
nation
today,
Let
Your
mighty
hand
guide
us
in
the
way.
Pre-Chorus
When
darkness
covers
the
land,
Lord,
hold
us
firmly
in
Your
hand.
Chorus
The
day
the
ground
demands
blood,
May
none
of
us
be
there,
in
Jesus’
Name.
The
day
the
air
demands
blood,
May
none
of
us
be
there,
in
Jesus’
Name.
Anything
calling
for
death
and
destruction,
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
cancel
it
by
Your
power.
Repeat 3
Times
The
day
the
ground
demands
blood,
May
none
of
us
be
there,
in
Jesus’
Name.
The
day
the
air
demands
blood,
May
none
of
us
be
there,
in
Jesus’
Name.
Verse 2 (
In
Memory)
We
remember
those
who
gave
their
lives,
May
their
memories
never
fade
away.
We
remember
Andrew
Adamu,
A
faithful
servant,
brave
and
true.
We
remember
Kabu
Bukar,
A
hero
whose
light
still
shines
afar.
We
remember
Emmanuel
Lukpata,
May
God’
s
eternal
peace
surround
him.
We
remember
Friday
Morgan,
A
father,
a
protector,
a
courageous
man.
We
remember
Etila
Hassan,
Whose
service
touched
many
lives.
We
remember
Ekene
Nweke,
A
faithful
worker,
remembered
with
love.
We
remember
Prince
Sunday
Ubong,
Your
memory
will
forever
live
on.
Lord,
we
thank
You
for
the
lives
You
spared,
For
mercy
that
spoke
louder
than
fear.
We
thank
You
for
Frank
Osas
Jefferson
and
the
mechanic,
Preserved
by
grace
through
the
storm.
When
death
moved
through
the
land,
Your
mighty
hand
still
preserved
life.
What
the
enemy
meant
for
evil,
Your
mercy
turned
into
a
testimony.
Bridge
Blessed
are
those
who
mourn,
For
they
shall
be
comforted.
Blessed
are
the
peacemakers,
For
they
shall
be
called
the
children
of
God. (
Matthew 5:4, 5:9)
Worship
O
God
of
mercy,
heal
Nigeria.
O
God
of
mercy,
heal
the
world.
Comfort
every
widow.
Comfort
every
child.
Let
peace
arise
in
every
nation.
Let
peace
arise
in
every
tribe.
Turn
our
mourning
into
dancing.
Turn
our
sorrow
into
praise.
Final
Chorus
The
day
the
ground
demands
blood,
May
none
of
us
be
there,
in
Jesus’
Name.
The
day
the
air
demands
blood,
May
none
of
us
be
there,
in
Jesus’
Name.
No
weapon
formed
against
us
shall
prosper.
No
arrow
that
flies
by
day
shall
prevail.
The
Lord
is
our
refuge
and
our
strength.
The
Lord
is
our
refuge
and
our
strength.
