Palaces And Playgrounds

Verse 1

For the times when we’ve neglected our society
Lord have mercy
And the places we’ve forgotten Your authority
Lord have mercy

Verse 2

For the times when as a nation we have chosen sin
Lord have mercy
When the homeless and the helpless are not welcomed in
Lord have mercy

Chorus

Restore our land, forgive our sin
As we bow down
Please don’t remove Your hand

Verse 3

When we post and share our comments without empathy
Lord have mercy
Or our silence at injustice speaks passivity
Lord have mercy

Verse 4

When we take out all our pain on those we love the most
Lord have mercy
When we’re restless and we hurry through the meals we host
Lord have mercy

Chorus

Restore our land, forgive our sin
As we bow down
Please don’t remove Your hand
Lord start with me

Verse 5

So come and build Your kingdom in our hearts and streets
show Your glory
In our palaces and playgrounds let Your light be seen
show Your glory
Lord show Your glory
