INDEPENDENCE DAY PRAYER FOR UGANDA

INDEPENDENCE DAY PRAYER FOR UGANDA

...And He has made from one blood, every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings so that they should seek the Lord ...and find Him ...for in Him we live and move and have our being ...Acts 17: 26-28

Thank you Lord for creating Uganda 54 years ago

You know our times and boundaries

From Moroto to Kisoro

From Malaba to Kasese

From Masaka to Moyo

From Kalangala to Kaabong

We pray for the prosperity of this nation

So that we might also prosper (Jer. 29:7)

We decree and declare

That we are a rich nation

That we are corruption free

That we are a God fering Christian Nation

That ours is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

That we are a united people

That we are a chosen people

That we are a blessed Nation (Ps. 33:12)

Our EDUCATION is blessed

Our HEALTH SERVICE is blessed

Our HOMES are blessed

Our FAMILIES are blessed

Our WOMBS are blessed

Our PRESIDENT is blessed

Our MINISTERS are blessed

Our JUDICIARY is blessed

Our PRISON SERVICE is blessed

Our PUBLIC SERVICE is blessed

Our BUSINESSES are blessed

Our CHURCHES are blessed

From the depths of Lake Victoria to the snow capped peaks of the Rwenzoris-

WE ARE BLESSED

From the Prisons of Luzira to the cushioned seats of State house Entebbe

WE ARE BLESSED

From the thick forests of Mabira to the graceful grasslands of Amuru

WE ARE BLESSED

And because we are blessed

We will honour you with our copper from Kasese

We will tithe of our oil from Bunyoro

We will give of our gold from Karamoja

We will bless nations with our iron from Kisoro

We will welcome the stranger and the refugee

We will treasure our Gorillas and our long horned cattle

We will protect the Nile and the Kyoga

We shall grumble No more

We shall moan no more

WE SHALL DO OUR PART

We shall stand in the gap

We shall re-build the walls of hope

We shall take care of the orphan and the widow

We shall plant more trees

We shall help the needy

We shall stand for righteousness

We shall stand for justice

We shall stand for fairness

WE shall stand for peace

And we will see the goodness of the Lord

In our lifetime

WE will see our nation prosper

In our life time

And even if it doesn’t happen in our lifetime

Your word O Lord remains true

We shall now bow to despair, hopelessness of faithlessness

YOU REMAIN our God

You speak your word to fulfil it

And we shall praise you

WE praise you with the Larakaraka

WE praise you with the Runyege

WE praise you with the Amagunju

We praise you with the Ekitaguriro

WE shout and praise you with our calabashes

With our Ngalabi

Our tube fiddles

Our thumb pianos

Our xylophones

Our everything

WE shall stamp our feet like the Bakiga

WE shall shake our heads like the Acholi

WE shall swing our waists like the Baganda

WE shall twists our hips like the Basoga

And shout out with our Vuvuzelas

Your you are our God

The God of UGANDA

The Apple of your eye

The pearl of Africa

Nay

The Pearl of the World

Oh Uganda

May God Uphold thee

Amen

D.R.Ruhweza
