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
