Praying Prayers of Paul for the Church You Love
ll Thessalonians 1:11-12
This week, take this prayer of the Apostle Paul and use it as a prompt to pray for North Wake.
To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. ~ ll Thessalonians 1:11-12
Meditation For Preparation
Written by Daniel Creswell
Behold behold
Read: Revelation 3:1-13
Several years ago, singer/songwriter Caroline Cobb set out to write a song for every book of the Bible. The song she penned from the book of Revelation is a stirring, hope-filled call to for Jesus to come. We will be introducing it this week and singing it in the weeks to come. You can listen to it by clicking the link to the right that allows you to listen to the songs for this Sunday. Meditate on these truths and pray along with the Bride and Spirit for Jesus to come.
I see a city coming down
Like a bride in whitest gown, purely dressed
I see the pilgrims coming home
All creation finds shalom; the promised rest
The Lamb of God will be her light
The sun will have no need to shine
Behold, behold
God makes His home with us!
He’ll take His throne, forever glorious!
The curse will be undone!
O come Lord, Jesus come
The Lord will banish every sin
All that's broken He will mend and make new
We will see Him face to face
As He wipes our tears away, death is through
All the ransomed and redeemed
Of every tongue and tribe will sing
Behold, behold
God makes His home with us!
He’ll take His throne, forever glorious!
The curse will be undone!
O come Lord, Jesus come
The age of darkness will surrender to the light
And we unveiled in glory will forever shine
Oh every power of hell will drown in lakes of fire
But we will freely drink the crystal stream of life
Come thirsty taste and see
Come hungry to the feast
Come weary find your peace
The Bride and Spirit sing
Come! Come!
Behold, behold
God makes His home with us!
He’ll take His throne, forever glorious!
The curse has come undone
For Jesus Christ as come!
O come Lord, Jesus come
