Translation: Song: "Protect our country, Lord. Fill it with your goodness. We are coming with all our heart. We have no hope apart from You. Protect our country from war and evil, protect our country." Father Simon: "Lord, we do not accept the shedding of blood, or division, or war." Pastor Sameh: "Proclaim the Truth that will unify the people not divide them, that will stop the shedding of blood, that will create peace not a civil war, that will produce love not enmity. Proclaim the Truth!" Song: "We want you to come to our country, to visit us with mercy and light." Father Simon: "We want you to make peace in Egypt, Lord. Egypt is in your hands, both Muslims and Christians alike. Enter this evening with a miracle!" Pastor Sameh: "You have the final word, Lord! We put this people in your hands. This poor people, this hungry, lost, hurting, confused, fearful people." Father Simon: "We bring the blood of this people before You, this people that is so precious to Your heart, that You love, the people whose lives You purchased with your precious blood. Show Yourself to them. Let them know Your love and peace and forgiveness." Pastor Sameh: "Write it across the heavens in large print, Lord. Write your Word so everyone can see!" Song: "Render the heavens and come down to us, to our land, all around us. Say the Word, and our people will know You. Come in Your power, come and heal us. Come and heal us."
