Turn the Tide
Words and Music by Abigail Miller
(Written in 2003)

When America was founded,
she was strong and pure and good,
And
her leaders on their knees were not ashamed to call on God.
But
our nation, in her pride, has turned her back upon the right,
And
the clouds of evil threaten to turn glory into night.
Strong
wickedness has crept in like a cold and bloody thief,
Those
who know the Lord and do His word stand by in disbelief.
For
the love of God and country, we must not cease for a day,
For
the future of our children we must lift our hearts and pray…
Chorus:
Turn the tide, Lord, turn
the tide,
Open wide the floodgates
of Your power.
Stem the flood of
wickedness;
Restore, revive, and
bless.
Turn the tide.
God's
enemy is hard at work, undermining everywhere,
Breaking
down foundations, twisting laws, and setting snares.
He
would take away our freedom and replace it with despair,
And
he laughs at those opposing him as if they were not there.
But
God's children cannot sit by, we must stand up and defend,
For
the battle is not over 'til our King declares the end.
We
must work and fight and meet him, not as those that beat the air,
For
the greatest weapon in our hands is strong and fervent prayer.
Chorus
Though
the waves of immorality may beat upon the shore,
And
it seems that all ungodliness is knocking at our door,
We
must never give up hope, we must not let them win the war,
We
must plead with Him who has the pow'r to cleanse and to restore.
Restore!
Lord, turn the tide,
Turn the tide,
Open wide the floodgates
of Your power,
Stem the flood of
wickedness,
Restore, revive, and
bless,
Turn the tide.
Stem
the flood of wickedness,
Restore,
revive and bless,
Turn
the tide!
