Transfiguration - The Call of God resounds

Transfiguration Track 12 - The Call Of God Resounds Celtic Lament (Francis Cummings) The call of God resounds across the earth, from farthest east to deepest south, in faith-resistant West and hardened northern climes. Lord, light the fire of Your Spirit’s power Let the people of God rise up this day. Let banners wave and trumpets sound, as the call extends around the world. Lord, light the fire of Your Spirit’s power Show us Your strength, as You have done before. from one end of the earth to the other. Pour out Your anointing oil that the world may know that Jesus is alive. Lord, light the fire of Your Spirit’s power God of grace and Ruler of all, You love and weep for these people. Wash these nations clean, even as the waves of Your oceans scour the beaches of the world. High King of Heaven, hold them close to Your heart. Raise up missionaries for Your vineyards, O Lord of the Harvest, evangelists to make You known, and prophets, pastors and teachers to support and sustain the seeds they plant. Let the clarity of Your blessing rest on the centres You have raised up, to refresh the broken-hearted, and to inspire Your anointed ones. O Come, Holy Spirit, come! Come as fire and burn within us, Come as wind and cleanse us, Come as light and lead us, Come as truth and teach us, Come as forgiveness and free us, Come as love and enfold us; Come as power and enable us, Come as life and dwell in us. Convict us, convert us, until we are Yours, through and through. (Charles Whiston adapted an ancient prayer) ‘For whoever would save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for Me will find it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels, and He will reward each person according to what he has done. God raises mighty spreading trees from the smallest seeds. What only three people were privileged to witness on the Mount of Transfiguration, millions now have heard about. Lord, make Your glory known in our generation as we speak and sing of You. Direct singers, authors and producers to the themes that best reflect Your heart, and to sources that will inform our minds and fire our spirits to carry forward the work of Christ. Light fires of revival, and let the touch of heaven rest on all that we speak, write and create in Your name. Behind the welter of news items that we read and watch lie intensely personal stories. Each one of us is also living out our personal drama. Lord, we have only one life to lead; Help us make it count for You. In the name of the one true Head of the Church, Keep Your people from foolish entanglements, and from setting their hearts on personal gain. We lift our leaders now into the light of Christ, That they may embrace Your ideas and lay other ways aside, That in every way Your church may be as You intend it to be.
