Martin wrote that, “5 years ago I woke up with the chorus of this song. I then went to see my friend Chris Tomlin and we finished it together.” For the first version of this song, “HYMN FOR OUR NATION (God Bless America)”, Martin confessed, “I’m not sure why an Englishman is singing about America...😀 but it’s an important time for us all to pray. To join together across all our nations and pray for God’s mercy and grace”. This song, altered so it may be sung in many different countries, is described by Martin to be, “a simple prayer. A simple song of worship.”

LYRICS:
God bless Australia
Heal our broken land
God bless Australia
With Your outstretched hand

We turn our eyes on You
We turn away from sin
We humbly call upon Your name
And ask You once again

God bless Australia
Heal our broken land
God bless Australia
With Your outstretched hand

You're mercy when we fall
You're strength in us to stand
Upon Your grace, upon Your truth
We ask You once again

God bless Australia
Heal our broken land
God bless Australia
With Your outstretched hand

We’re on our knees
We’re on our knees to pray
Only our God can save
We’re on our knees to pray

God bless Australia
Heal our broken land
God bless Australia
With Your outstretched hand
