Often times a song has the greatest impact on me when I first read the lyrics. I love the message of THIS song, and I encourage you to scroll down, read the words, and then listen. Blessings, and LET US PRAY!



Now is the season for healing
Deeply we need to see, God's mercy revealing
Where we have fallen from his ways
For we know he gives hope to the humble,
gives light in the darkness, and grace when we stumble
Let us, call on His name, together, knowing he will say

If my people pray
and reach for me with hearts, that are broken
I will not forget what I've spoken
Come and seek my grace
Heaven will rain, rivers of my grace, overflowing
Night and day my ears will be open...
If my people pray

Now is the day to awaken, to pray with conviction,
for the souls of the nation
(So) let us, call on His name
Whose faithful, promise still remain

If my people pray
and reach for me with hearts, that are broken
I will not forget what I've spoken
Come and seek my grace
Heaven will reign, rivers of my grace, overflowing
Night and day my ears will be open...
If my people pray

Let us not grow weary as we wait for the day
When the Light turns our night into morning
All we need is to call your name
As we lift our hearts to Heaven
Knowing You will say...

If my people pray
and reach for me with hearts, that are broken
I will not forget what I've spoken
Come and seek my grace
Heaven will reign, rivers of my grace, overflowing
Night and day my ears will be open...
If my people pray
If my people pray

Jesus IS the light for our world and our nation...When we take the time to put our faith into action... believing our prayer avails much...then we receive the blessing promised. Holding God's Word up in a world of darkness forces that darkness to flee from before us! May we always stand in the love light of His grace...holding His light up for the world to see and receive true HOPE and CHANGE through His grace.

Beautiful song, wonderful words. It reminded me of how much like the Israelites we are, and God is just waiting for us to turn to him.

Nancy-there is no other assurance for HOPE and CHANGE except through Him as you have said.

Mari-I wonder if we couldn't be better learners just based on history alone, as you have said. How gracious and patient Jesus is.
