The poem, inspired by 2 Chronicles 7:14, is a lyrical call to God’s people to seek divine forgiveness and healing for their land. It outlines four conditions: humility, fervent prayer, seeking God’s face, and repentance from sin. If these are met, God promises to hear, forgive, and restore, healing their fractured nation. Vivid imagery—humility as a river, prayer as a soul’s ascent, mercy as a sovereign hand—underscores the spiritual journey. The poem universalizes the call, urging all to embrace these steps for enduring divine love and renewal.

Beneath the weight of heaven’s gaze,
A whisper threads through ancient days:
“My people, called, my name they bear,
A covenant woven, a bond so rare.”

If they, the chosen, bend their pride,
Let humility’s river flow deep, flow wide,
No throne of self, no crown of clay,
But hearts laid bare in the light of day.

If they pray, a cry from dust to sky,
A soul’s ascent where angels fly,
Not rote, not ritual, but fervent plea,
A hunger for God, for eternity.

If they seek my face, not fleeting signs,
Not wealth, not power, not earthly designs,
But the radiance of love, unmarred, divine,
The glow of holiness, forever thine!

If they turn, oh, turn from shadowed ways,
From sin’s allure, its fleeting blaze,
To rend the heart, to break the chain,
To walk the path through cleansing rain.

Then I—Almighty, enthroned above—
Will hear their cries with a Father’s love.
From heaven’s courts, my grace will pour,
Forgiveness granted, their souls restored.

And I will heal their fractured land,
With mercy’s touch, with a sovereign hand.
The fields will sing, the rivers run,
A nation reborn beneath the sun.

Yet still the call resounds, unbroken,
To every heart where truth is spoken.
If my people—yes, you and I—
Will kneel, will seek, will turn, will cry,
The promise holds, eternal, sure,
God’s healing love will still endure.
