Imagine if we laid it down
These empty idols, self-made crowns
Walked off the stage and lost our fame
Traded our slogans for You to have Your say
Imagine if we turned and prayed
Laid down our pride to seek Your face
And left behind our fear of man
Abandoned all these castles in the sand
God, would You forgive us? Find us on our knees
Father, come remind us, what Your church could be
Oceans of Your justice, mercy like a stream
Heaven spilling over, flooding through our streets
God, would You forgive us?
God, would You forgive us?
Imagine if no lines were drawn
If every race and tribe belonged
Imagine if we stood as one
To see each other as daughters and as sons
God, would You forgive us? Find us on our knees
Father, come remind us, what Your church could be
Oceans of Your justice, mercy like a stream
Heaven spilling over, flooding through our streets
God, would You forgive us? Find us on our knees
Father, come remind us, what Your church could be
Oceans of Your justice, mercy like a stream
Heaven spilling over, flooding through our streets
God, would You forgive us?
Oh, God, would You forgive us?...
Oh, God, would You revive us?
Oh, God, would You revive us?
Oh, reach out Your hand and touch us
Oh, reach out Your hand, awaken us
Oh, God, would You revive us?
Oh, God, would You forgive us?
God, would You forgive us? Find us on our knees
Father, come remind us, what Your church could be
Oceans of Your justice, mercy like a stream
Heaven spilling over, flooding through our streets
God, would You forgive us?
God, would You forgive us?
God, would You come heal us?
God, would You come heal us?
We cry out for revival
We cry out for awakening
We cry out for
We cry out for You to have Your way
Have Your way, have Your way, have Your way
Let Your kingdom come, and let Your will be done
Right here on earth as it is in heaven
Oh, let Your kingdom come, oh, let Your will be done
Right here on earth as it is in heaven
God, would You forgive us?
God, would You forgive us?
God, would You forgive us?
God, would You forgive us?
