Amazing grace this faith I found.
Nothing is worth of fear.
The Crown’s mighty jaws can bite no more when people begin to see.

The cry of kids all ears must hear.
A pain only God could ease.
How precious is the return of one’s kids. The love a nation needs!

The shadow of death, toils and traps
by God I overcome.
His grace has brought me safe thus far. His love had sent them home.

My Lord will fight, protect me.
With His sword, my win secured.
He is my shield, my sanctuary as long as life endures.

When rights denied, justice has failed.
The harm and crimes must cease.
Our cause declares loud and clear. Our right of custody.

Our foes shall soon melt like snow.
Their tongues forbidden to lie.
For God is here to fight for me, will never yield or fear.

Our fight may take ten thousand years.
Behold our strength is here.
Our victory’s from God’s mercy, not from a wretch like me.
