In the face of entrenched evil
Man’s resources often fail
Be it Antichrist or Devil
God’s own Kingdom will prevail

Yet He calls on us to seek Him
Praying that His will be done
Not on thoughtless off the cuff whim
But ongoing petition

Christ’s Kingdom suffers violence
In the end we win the war
But battles call for vigilance
As we plan and then implore

For only by prayer and fasting
Do some strongholds quake and fall
Bringing freedom that is lasting
When we rally to the call

Nations now are at the crossroads
Swiftly running out of time
As corruption crassly corrodes
And inflation fosters crime

In Zimbabwe folks are dying
From starvation and neglect
Though the world grows deaf to crying
God has power to resurrect

There’s a day of prayer and fasting
On Zim’s Independence Day
Needing more than news broadcasting
As we ask the world to pray

For a worthy Constitution
With new leaders at the helm
When freedom finds full fruition
Evil will not overwhelm
