[Sung]
|
Oh Lord... we come...
|
To You... we lay our lives before You
|
You know... our needs... before... we asked.
|
So we come... not for ourselves...
|
But we're crying out for the nations.
|
|
Oh Lord... we pray...
|
Give us beauty for ashes,
|
Strength for our weakness,
|
Oh Lord... we pray...
|
Give us faith to believe,
|
Hearts that we seek.
|
|
Oh Lord... we pray...
|
As Your church, we arise,
|
Jesus, please hear our cry and have mercy...
|
|
[Spoken]
|
Do I have a room full of intercessors tonight
|
Who will begin to lift up your voice?
|
Some of you may even want to run to the altar.
|
And begin to lift up your voice
|
Not on behalf of yourself,
|
But on behalf of the nations.
|
|
Is there anyone that would join me
|
In praying for the nations of the earth,
|
That the government will be upon His shoulders,
|
That the Lord of glory will intervene
|
And hear the affairs of man?
|
Where are the intercessors?
|
Where are those who will cry out?
|
Where are those who will believe God,
|
Who will say...
|
|
[Sung]
|
"Oh God, hear Your people.
|
Oh God, hear the cries of Your people."
|
As we lift up our voices tonight,
|
As we lift up our voices tonight.
|
If we've ever needed You,
|
Right now is the time,
|
Right now is the time to
|
Change the nations, Lord. [3x]
|
Reveal Your glory.
|
And let Your church rise.
|
Oh God, reveal Your glory.
|
And let the church rise.
|
|
Oh God, let the government be on your shoulders.
|
Intervene on the behalf of every leader,
|
Every nation, we cry out, we cry out, we cry out.
|
We cry out, oh... We need You...
|
Have mercy on us, Lord. [3x]
|
And turn our hearts back to You.
|
Turn our hearts back to You. [2x]
|
Turn our hearts back to You, oh God.
|
|
Reveal Your Son; release miracles.
|
Signs of wonders, oh God, release miracles.
|
Signs of wonders, that You will be glorified.
|
High and lifted up, and the nations will tremble.
|
The nations will come in fear and say
|
"Jesus Christ is Lord!" [2x]
|
You are Lord!
|
|
Let the church rise [3x]
|
Come on, lift up your voices
|
Let a sound be heard [2x]
|
Through the nations of the earth.
|
Oh...
|
|
The change I want to see
|
Must first begin in me
|
I surrender, so your world can be changed.
|
[6x]
|
|
The change I want to see
|
Must first begin in me
|
I surrender [8x]
|
So your world can be changed.
|
|
[Spoken]
|
You are the light of the world.
|
Cities set on a hill cannot be hidden.
|
Whether you know it or not,
|
The world is looking at you
|
Because the answer that they seek
|
Is on the inside of You.
|
So I say:
|
|
[Sung]
|
If they're looking for You
|
Let them find You in me
|
[2x]
|
|
If they're looking for You, Jesus
|
Let them find You in me
|
[2x]
|
|
The change I want to see
|
Must first begin in me...
|
I surrender all...
