I love it when God underlines messages and confirms what we have been hearing! On Sunday, Dave spoke from Ezekiel 37 about the Valley of Dry Bones. As most of you know, I am in the middle of preparing for this year’s Dearne Community Arts’ Festival which will be held online (on the DCAF Facebook page) this Saturday (26th September) between 9.30 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. and have been receiving contributions from many people for that. On Monday, one of these was entitled ‘God of Might’, from a former colleague of mine, Pat Moore. The poem is below.
God of Might
Healing in your hand
Lord, we pray have mercy on this land.
Hope revive – Harmony restore
Heal our lives
We lift our eyes once more.
River wide, let your water flow
Blessing where you go.
Open up the heavens,
Rain upon this shore,
God of might
We lift our eyes once more
God of Light
Darkness cannot stand
Lord. we pray your glory on this land,
Touching lives wounded on the shore
Bringing life – strength will rise once more.
Jesus Christ, highest of all names
Christ, our Saviour reigns.
Open up the heavens,
Let the lion roar,
God of light
We wait upon you, Lord.
God on High
Unified we stand
Lord, we pray revival on this land.
Humbled souls bow in reverent awe,
Humbled lives gather at Your throne.
Lord of Life, let these dry bones sing,
Praises to our king.
Open up the heavens,
Grace abundant pour,
God on high
We lift our eyes once more.
Lord of Life, let these dry bones sing
Praises to our king.
Open up the heavens,
Rain upon this shore,
God on high
We lift our eyes once more.
God of Might – Lord of Life – God on high – God revive
