Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Slow,

mournful

piano

melody

with

sustained

atmospheric

pads) (

Deep,

breathy

sigh)

O

Lord,

my

God,

my

heart

is

breaking,

The

land

is

filled

with

tears

and

pain.

I

hear

the

cries

of

grieving

mothers,

And

watch

the

innocent

fall

again.

The

fields

are

silent,

hope

is

fading,

Yet

still

I

lift

my

eyes

to

You.

Though

darkness

covers

many

places,

Your

promises

remain

so

true.

How

long,

O

Lord?

Hear

our

crying.

How

long

until

Your

justice

comes?

Our

hearts

are

weak,

but

we

keep

trusting;

You

are

the

Holy,

Faithful

One.

Remember

Nigeria,

Lord

of

mercy,

Stretch

out

Your

mighty

hand

once

more.

Comfort

the

broken,

heal

the

weary,

And

walk

with

us

through

this

open

door.

Oh,

let

Your

light

break

through

the

shadow,

Restore

the

peace

we

long

to

see.

Remember

Nigeria,

Lord

of

mercy,

Bring

home

the

soul

of

our

country.

From

the

northern

hills

to

the

southern

waters,

The

echoes

of

sorrow

fill

the

air.

We’

ve

lost

our

brothers,

we’

ve

lost

our

daughters,

Caught

in

the

grip

of

cold

despair.

The

streets

are

quiet,

the

markets

empty,

We

search

for

signs

of

a

better

day.

But

You

are

the

rock

in

every

tempest,

You

are

the

truth,

the

light,

the

way.

How

long,

O

Lord?

Hear

our

crying.

How

long

until

Your

justice

comes?

Our

hearts

are

weak,

but

we

keep

trusting;

You

are

the

Holy,

Faithful

One.

Remember

Nigeria,

Lord

of

mercy,

Stretch

out

Your

mighty

hand

once

more.

Comfort

the

broken,

heal

the

weary,

And

walk

with

us

through

this

open

door.

Oh,

let

Your

light

break

through

the

shadow,

Restore

the

peace

we

long

to

see.

Remember

Nigeria,

Lord

of

mercy,

Bring

home

the

soul

of

our

country.

We

wait

in

the

silence,

we

wait

in

the

dark,

We’

re

fanning

the

flame

of

a

dying

spark.

But

faith

is

a

whisper

that

screams

in

the

night,

We’

re

walking

by

faith,

waiting

for

the

light.

Restore

us,

O

Lord,

restore

us

now,

To

You

alone

we

make

our

vow.

Remember

Nigeria,

Lord

of

mercy,

Stretch

out

Your

mighty

hand

once

more.

Comfort

the

broken,

heal

the

weary,

And

walk

with

us

through

this

open

door.

Oh,

let

Your

light

break

through

the

shadow,

Restore

the

peace

we

long

to

see.

Remember

Nigeria,

Lord

of

Bring

the

We

the

we

We’

But

O

To

Stretch

Your

Restore

the

peace

we
