Praying Through Pre-Adoption Day 6

Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for the Lord's people.

~Ephesians 6:18

Greetings on Good Friday!

If you read the lyrics below of While We Sing by Leeland, and watch the live video, you will know what we are praying for today. Continual prayer. Alert to others near and far. We want to rise and SHINE. We want to stop sleeping in an empty tomb.

As we remember Jesus rising from His tomb, let us, too, come to life with His light, as a city on a hill.

Note: The actual song is minutes 3-6.

Please pause my music at the bottom of my page before watching.

I've sat by far too long

And I've watched the hurting suffer on their own

I have chances everyday

To live like You, die to myself

Give Your love away

And I wonder why I feel so empty inside

While I sing la la la la la la la la la

As the hungry roam the streets

La la la la la la la la la

As the broken are on their knees

La la la la la la la la la

I keep singing

We are frozen, we are still

But we're called to be a city on a hill

And as our melodies resound

We cannot hear the silent cry

This world is screaming out

And we wonder why we feel so empty inside

While we sing la la la la la la la la la

As the hungry roam the streets

La la la la la la la la la

As the broken are on their knees

La la la la la la la la la

We keep singing

Remember salvation's day

When Jesus washed our sins away

The lost are crying out to be saved

While we sing la la la la la la la la la

As the hungry roam the streets

La la la la la la la la la

As the broken are on their knees

La la la la la la la la la

We keep singing

But just a song won't heal

The bleeding wound

Church wake up

We're sleeping in an empty tomb

Church arise, arise and shine

Shake yourself from the dust

God is calling us to go

Prayer: Jesus, thank you for coming to this earth, dying for our sins, and rising after three days. Help us to pray continually for Your people. Help us to dream big and act big, with Your light always shining through us. Help us to see the needs of others near and far. Lead us in giving ourselves to Your purpose.
