The Greening Of Belfast

In a green, green land riding on the sea Live a people who speak like a song But their fertile field lies so fallow and bare And has borne bitter fruit for so long Pray for the greening of Belfast That what is now barren Might bloom and be fair God loves the city of Belfast For so many children who love Him live there So many children who love Him live there The verdant hills like strong arms embrace A heartbreaking, heartbroken town With the air so full of angels there It's not hard to imagine the sound Of their cries and tears Of their pleas and prayers For their city to know peace once more Let the fighting cease Let the saints be released To join in true spiritual war Chorus: Pray for the greening of Belfast That what is now barren Might bloom and be fair God loves the city of Belfast For so many children who love Him live there So many children who love Him live there So pray for the greening of Belfast
