Filthy Rags and Shrivelled Leaves

by Albert Watson

Father look across this nation
Broken laws violent confrontation
Filthy rags and shrivelled leaves
For this land your Spirit grieves

Young men carry guns and knives
Wasting theirs and others lives
Dealing drugs and getting high
Lord send your Spirit from the sky

Children, their parents disobey
Adults let them have their own way
Gods now are the men of sport
Father do not your church abort

Yet Your church is ineffective
Many splits and much invective
Preaches word but where the deeds
Easter power is what she needs

(Refrain)
Falling like rain falling like rain
Father forgive us and fill us again
Falling like rain falling like rain
Come Holy Spirit revive us again
