South Africa pray for our president

How beautiful are these words written by Claire Lagerwall: 

My President you're tired
We can see it in your eyes
It's not really something
You can easily hide

We see you across
Our television screens
Addressing the nation
On a history unseen

We see you stumble
Over words being said
And I pause to wonder
What's going on in your head

Are you coping Sir
With all that you face
A broken nation
Looking to you for grace

Are you okay Mr President
You look so sad
Your eyes tell a story
I'm sorry it's so bad

We pray for you
Hold you in our thoughts
This is a war
We have never fought

I'm glad that you're ours
That we don't have to share
That our precious nation
Is under your care

With our cries of faith
We trusted God for a man
Who could steer a nation
Into unknown lands

Thank you, my President
For being so brave
Whilst a nation is judging
Each move that you've made

We pray for you Sir
We really do
And we thank God
For a leader like you
