Prayers for Sunday, March 30

The first two songs listed this week are ones that really speak to me. "God Of This City" reminds me of the fact that God reigns over everything...and sometimes I don't think about that in terms of Champaign/Urbana. Pray the 2nd stanza over and over again. Let it sink in

And One Pure and Holy Passion seems like one of those prayers I just can't ever pray enough...

God Of This City

  • You’re the God of this city
    You’re the King of these people
    You’re the Lord of this nation
    You are
    You’re the light in this darkness
    You’re the hope to the hopeless
    You’re the peace to the restless
    You are
  • Greater things have yet to come
    Greater things are still to be done
    In this city

One Pure And Holy Passion
  • Give me one pure and holy passion
    Give me one magnificent obsession
    Give me one glorious ambition for my life
    To know and follow hard after You
  • To know and follow hard after You
    To grow as Your disciple in the truth
    This world is empty, pale and poor
    Compared to knowing You, my Lord
    Lead me on and I will run after You
    Lead me on and I will run after You

All Who Are Thirsty
[Psalm 42, John 7:37-38]
  • All who are thirsty
    All who are weak
    Come to the fountain
    Dip your heart in the stream of life
    Let the pain and the sorrow
    Be washed away
    In the waves of his mercy
    As deep cries out to deep
  • Come Lord Jesus come
