| Was The Second Stanza Of National Anthem Made For Such A Time As This? by jesusjnr2020(op): 8:36am On Oct 01, 2023 |
Was The Second Stanza Of National Anthem Made For Such A Time As This? To illustrate, here it is: O God Of Creation. Direct Our Noble Cause. Guide Our Leaders Right. Help Our Youth “The Truth” To Know. In Love And Honesty To Grow. And Live In Just And Truth. Great Lofty Heights Attain. To Build A Nation Where Peace And Justice Shall Reign. It seems prophetic, as though those who composed it were actually speaking of today because I don't think there's ever been a time in this nation's history where it had been as applicable and relevant to the state of the nation as it currently is. Perhaps it's time for this stanza to usurp the first since it seems much more relevant with regards the nation at this time. The nation needs righteous leaders, honest and just youths, peace and justice now more than ever. May God provide what this nation needs in Jesus name! God bless. 75 Likes 9 Shares

And you'd be surprised many don't even know the words on the national anthem... Even most senior public officials. Many who once knew have now forgotten. Boys for Warri go say: "The hustling don make man turn crase" 22 Likes 1 Share |
