Prayer For Cambodia

Meshack Bwoyele Keya 1960 (Vihiga)



It was bruised maimed and left for dead

Cambodia was hit by catastrophe in a series

Cambodians lived in great fear and dread

It was a country enveloped in crisis

Cambodia Will forever Flourish.

Cambodia Will dine with super powers.

The devil wanted Cambodia down

It sought to destroy it fully

Lucifer wanted people in Cambodia frown

Yet God removed the devil's folly

Cambodia Will forever Flourish

Cambodia Will dine with super powers

Cambodians can now smile with Glee

The oppressor vanquished to flee

We can develope Cambodia for we are free

This is my own great decree

Cambodia Will forever Flourish

Cambodia Will dine with super powers
