Amen by Watoto

The Watoto Children's Choir came to Malaysia and I heard them sing this song. It touched me so much, especially since it was so in line with the sentiments of the National Evangelical Christian Fellowship's 21.21.21 call for prayer.

Therefore I figured out the chords and am sharing it with my friends for us to pray this for Malaysia, even as they have been praying it for Uganda. I hope they don't mind I changed the word "Uganda" to "Malaysia" in this version for this purpose.
