This week we join in prayer with this video of the song “Your Spirit Groans for Peace (Ukraine)”

VERSE 1
When evil comes upon us
we will stand before this house and implore you.
We cry in our distress, 
you will hear our desperate prayer and deliver.

PRE CHORUS 1 
This nation groans, foundations shaking,
terror stalks the streets today.

CHORUS 1
Your Spirit groans for peace, 
your Spirit groans for truth,
your Spirit groans for justice,
we groan along with you.

VERSE 2
Though sword may come upon us,
we will stand before this house and implore you.
We cry in our distress, 
you will hear our desperate prayer and deliver.

PRE CHORUS 2 
This nation groans, your people quaking,
stay the hand of hate today.

CHORUS 2
Your Spirit groans for peace, 
your Spirit groans for truth,
your Spirit groans for justice,
we groan along with you.

BRIDGE
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.

[OPTIONAL VERSE 3]
Should famine come upon us,
we will stand before this house and implore you.
We cry in our distress, 
you will hear our desperate prayer and deliver.
