Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Prepare ye the way of the Lord

We come before you tonight, Lord
preparing the way.  We want Your
presence.  Your fire in our hearts
tonight.  Consume us, Lord, and
bring us back to the heart of
worship, to the heart of
worship, to the heart of You.
In Jesus name.   Amen.

The Heart of Worship

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simple come
Longing just to bring
Something that's worth
The will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
All about You Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
All about You Jesus

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
All about You Jesus

Change my heart Oh God

Change my heart of God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You

 

L: God, you breathed into the
mud and created man.
You breathed into Bazalel
and gave him inspiration.
You chilled the waters and
turned them into ice.

A:  Breath into us, God

 

L:  You turned the seas into dry
valleys.  You created
the stars with the wave of
your finger.  You touched
the valley of bones, and the
bones came to life

A:  Breath into us, God

 

L. We need life, God.  This
world is suffocating.  The
Waters rise up.  We run so
fast we can't even breathe.

A:  Breath into us, God

 

L. Give us inspiration.  Give
us joy.  Give us life.  Fill us
with Your holy breath.

A:  Breath into us, God

Open the Eyes of My Heart

Open the eyes of my heart Lord
Open the eyes of my heart

The scriptures talk about a
river, "the streams of which may glad the city of God."
The river speaks to us of life,
eternity, refreshment, relief of
spiritual thirst and most
especially, the never ending
flow of God's love, grace and
mercy.  May He take us to that river.

 

Take Us to the River

Take us to your throne room
Give us ears to hear the cry of Heaven
For that cry is mercy
Mercy to the fallen sons of men
For mercy has triumphed
Triumped over judgment by the blood
Take us to the throne room
In the city of our God

For the Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon us
This is the year of the Lord
The Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon us
This is the year of the Lord

Take us to the mountain
Lift us in the shadow of Your hands
Is this Your mighty angel
Who stands astride the ocean and the land
For in His hand Your mercy
Showers on a dry and barren place
Take us to the mountain
In the city of our God

This is the year of the Lord
For the Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon us
This is the year of our Lord

This is the year of our lord

With all of my heart
And I will worship You

With all of my strength
For You are my Lord
You are my Lord

More love

More of You in my life
More love
More power
More of You in my life

And I will worship You
With all of my heart
And I will worship You
With all of my mind
And I will worship You
With all of my strength
For You are my Lord
You are my Lord
You are my Lord
You are my Lord

 

These are the days not of failure and submission, but of the sort of resilient, declaring, even arrogant trust and hope that Elijah had in his God.

These are not the days of God
stepping back and allowing the
world and the church to roll
uncontrolled towards eternity
but rather days when He is
calling on His body to make a
stand, to offer right praise and
to declare that He is totally in control....

days when one united church
must rise up in unity and purpose.

 

Days of Elijah

 

These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Wrod of the Lord
And these are the days of Your
servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
And these are the days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord"

Behold He comes
Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet call
Lift your voice
It's the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes.

These are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of Your servant, David
The fields are as white in the world
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard
Declaring the Word of the Lord

Behold He comes
Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet call
Lift your voice
It's the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes.

There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah
There is no God like Jehovah

Behold He comes
Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet call
Lift your voice
It's the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes.

 

Another day is done, Father.
We hope we helped create a
world you're proud of.  As Your
children we want You to be
happy with us.  You gave us
the planet as a gift and we
must care for it.  We must
cherish the people in our lives.

Allow us to mediate on these
things as we head into the
night, God.  Today is nearly
over, and we can do nothing to
change any of it.  Give us rest,
God.  Give us peace.

When the sun comes up in the
morning, we will honor You.
We will support and love each
other. and we will continue to
show the world what it means
to be a child of God.  Amen

 

The ultimate test of
servanthood is whether you
can be content to serve an
audience of One, when you
can be content to serve in
anonymity, wen you can throw
yourself into a bit part, when
you no longer live for the
approval of others,

When the size of your audience
doesn't matter anymore and
when the size of the role you
play is less important than
being faithful and obedient.

This is difficult for us because
we often love the approval
of others more than the approval
of God.  We seek the favor of
those around us instead of the
favor of God.  We want to be noticed.

When you no longer crave the
spotlight, when you don't need
to be noticed or recognized,
and when you're not above
doing grunt work, you're on
your way to being the kind of
servant God really uses.

What every one of you has
demonstrated this week is that
you would rather labor in
obscurity for God, serve an
audience of One, than spend
time this doing than anything else.
What you have said this week is,
"I am Your servant, Father.
I hold Your people in my heart.

May God richly bless you for
your timeless efforts on His behalf
this week.
God's Speed
