Far beneath the deep;
Emerged a glorious story to keep,
Of a Nation shedding her old-frail shell,
Striving to survive each leap, breaking from her spell,
In a race that will soon end.

Nigeria, a twinkling star emerged,
From time's deepest clouds, she surged,
Guided on the Savior's gracious hand,
To resurrect from delicate strand,
Strong, united in Christ's embrace.

I stood in awe at the wonders untold,
Born from the womb of this nation so bold,
As she embraced rebirth with humble heart,
Casting away the sins that once tore her apart,
And lustful desires purged, as her table overturned.

Oh, what a great sight to behold!
Beneath the surface, where secrets unfold,
A golden pinnacle of glory stands tall,
Beckoning the world to witness it all,
A holy city, Nigeria renamed to be called!

"It was like a dream seeing the star of a dying Nation rise again." - Ollimid
