A few weeks ago
I was honored to do a prayer walk at our new campus with a group of teenagers
from three churches in our area who are planning to do a mission project with
us in June. These events and times of
sharing always open doors and provide for inspiration.
In the middle of the prayer walk we
stepping in to what will be our worship center / auditorium. I shared how we desire for this to be a place
where all different kinds of events happen as well as the place where people
gather to praise the Lord each week and often.
One of the student leaders led us in
worship. It was a new song to me, but I
had heard it on the radio some. What an
awesome and humbling time this was singing together, worshipping and sharing a
sweet time. Yet as we stepped out of
worship area one of the student noticed that written on a door facing were the
lyrics of this song.
That was a spiritual moment as we
realized that we sang, voiced and shared the prayer others had offered in this
same place. You can hear the song at THIS
LINK. The worship was so fresh, real, exciting,
drawing and almost electric.
There's nothing worth more
That could ever come close
No thing can compare
You're our living hope
Your presence, Lord
I've tasted and seen
Of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free
And my shame is undone
Your presence, Lord
CHORUS
Holy Spirit, You are welcome here
Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere
Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for
To be overcome by Your presence, Lord
There's nothing worth more
That could ever come close
No thing can compare
You're our living hope
Your presence, Lord
I've tasted and seen
Of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free
And my shame is undone
Your presence, Lord
Let us become more aware of Your presence
Let us experience the glory of Your goodness
The chorus is a prayer and an
invitation to the Holy Spirit. In our
worship it is the Holy Spirit that makes His home in our hearts, who fills our
worship and who draws us closer to God.
I long for and love this. How
about you?
May we spend time seeking God and
worshipping Him in sweet ways like this leads me to.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth
that has been entrusted to you.
