Remember
Verse 1
1 Soldiers of the darkness, under moon’s night
2 Spreading terror, carnage, oppressive might
3 Like a tempest raging bringing a flood
4 Striking without mercy innocent blood

Chorus
1 Holy God who made us we bring our cries to You
2 To mend our broken hearts and heal the scars within
3 Take from us the pain that burns our very souls
4 Wipe away the tears as we remember once again

Verse 2
1 Desolation found where people once prayed
2 Families led to slaughter by evil’s blade
3 Devastation spread through once peaceful plains
4 Generation lost the memory remains

Chorus
1 Everlasting Father we bring our pleas to You
2 To hold us in Your hand and give us strength within
3 Teach us how to sing and dance with songs of joy
4 Heal this holy land as we remember once again
Verse 3
1 Echoes of the martyrs call from the grave
2 Who will speak for the ones no one could save?
3 There is even no doubt who is to blame
4 Shout for freedom, justice, genocide’s name

Chorus
1 Lord of all the nations we bring our prayers to You
2 To lead us out of darkness to victory anew
3 Shelter us in peace with Your sovereign hand
4 Bring Your people home as we remember once again

Chorus Tag
1 Shelter us in peace with Your sovereign hand
2 Bring Your people home as we remember once again
