do we believe God – v5

Her root question, really,
for the congregation,
to each person sitting
in the sanctuary that night

Do we believe God,
that God will answer
that God is able
to do what we ask Him,
what we give Him in prayer?

Do we believe God
has the power to heal them,
those we lift up
to change the situation
that weighs on our heart?

That question, truly,
is the one that matters;
We must believe,
we must trust in God

willing a miracle – v4

Framing the question
the path of his care;
Not accepting the answer
not this way, not now.

Willing a miracle
not accepting defeat;
Focused on the positive
that He may live.

may they be open – v3

May they be open
to Your call on their heart;
The plans You have for them,
written for all time.
Never to be forgotten
unfolding in Your time;
In Your time alone,
Almighty God.

plans, not a plan – v3

The paths God created
hope for our future
infinite possibilities
written in heaven;
Plans for each one
for all of us.

A glorious future
yet unseen by us
but known to God;
Plans, not a plan
not a single path
a moment of blessing.

Plans for a future
life, for all of us
plans of the Creator
plans for all of us;
Life in the Savior
in our belief in Christ.

what would our prayers sound like – v2

what would our prayers sound like
if we truly believed in God?
what would our prayers sound like
if we trusted in the Lord?

God is able to do anything;
God is the Creator of everything.
why do we limit our prayers
asking so little of God?

our lives would be so different
if we walked in faith;
we would be able to move mountains,
to stop an earthquake.

God is able to do anything
far more than we ask;
what would our prayers sound like
if we truly believed in God?

who do you want me to be – v2

who do You want me to be
for You in this situation
what do You need me to do
to be open to You, to Your calling

who do You want me to be
that I might see more clearly
what is it I must do, in this moment,
to be open to You, to Your calling

some don’t know God – v6

Some of them don’t know God
as Savior, as Master;
some don’t claim Jesus
as the Lord of their lives,

Feeling a need to speak
to pray over those gathered;
some don’t know Jesus
as their Lord and Savior.

Sharing a declaration
a prayer of our faith;
claiming the Lord Jesus
as the Master of our life.

some don’t know God – v5

She stopped almost in mid-sentence
a tremor rippling through us;
the sanctuary hushed
as she spoke more slowly.

Feeling a need to speak
to pray over those gathered;
some don’t know Jesus
as their personal Lord and Savior.

Some don’t know God
as Savior, as Master;
some don’t claim Jesus
as they Lord of their lives.

Sharing a declaration
a prayer of our faith;
we each claimed the Lord Jesus
as the Master of our life.
