New Song: Let Your Kingdom Come

Hey everyone,

I'm sorry I didn't post a Preparing For Worship blog last Friday! I've been waging a war with Spring in my sinuses, and last Friday the lack of airflow was cutting off the oxygen to my brain, so I took a sick day and started a strict regimen of Advil Allergy Sinus.

SO yeah, this week, Pastor Todd will be preaching from Ephesians 5:15-18 where the apostle Paul talks about how to walk with wisdom in the light of life. He says to "understand what the will of the Lord is..." and I kept thinking about the line in The Lord's Prayer where Jesus prays "Thy will be done."

Knowing what the will of the Lord is for your life is a spiritual wisdom that comes with prayer and submission. We can't know God's will if we are so determined to fulfill our own!

This song is called "Let Your Kingdom Come" and it is about God's will for man to be saved from sin through faith in Jesus. There is plenty we may never know about God's perfect will, but we know that he has called us to be vessels to share the good news of the gospel with the lost, and this song reflects that!

It's by Bob Kauflin from Sovereign Grace Ministries.

Check out the lyrics and then sing along with the video underneath!

Let Your Kingdom Come
Your glorious cause O God
Engages our hearts
May Jesus Christ be known
Wherever we are
We ask not for ourselves
But for Your renown
The cross has saved us so we pray
Your kingdom come!

Let Your kingdom come
Let Your will be done
So that everyone might know Your name!
Let Your song be heard
Everywhere on earth
'Till Your sovereign work on earth is done!
Let Your kingdom come!

Give us Your strength O God
And courage to speak
Perform Your wondrous deeds
Through those who are weak
Lord use us as You want
Whatever the test
By grace we'll preach Your gospel
'Till our dying breath
