The Church

 

Breaking down walls and moving mountains

Barren wastelands springing up fountains

Rebelling against the ways of this world

Dreams and hope for the broken and curled

 

The bondage of apathy broken

God’s word of hope spoken

The church of Jesus Christ awoken

 

The lives we lead forsaken

Our neighbors’ burdens taken

A new future in the making

 

Slavery to the system destroyed

Poverty’s forgotten employed

Love filling the void

 

The Kingdom at hand and near

God wiping away the tear

Peace freeing us from fear

 

God’s Spirit breathed and poured out

Faith conquering our doubt

Standing on rooftops to shout

 

Let me make this appeal

God is here and He is real

 

Mountains will crumble and walls will fall

If we have ears to hear the call

To loose our lives and give our all

 

So open your eyes and keep them peeled

Fall at the cross and stay there kneeled

And God will show you the world healed

 

Let me make this appeal

The time is now and this is real

 

Pray and seek and hunger and search

Then rise and move, and be the church

  1. Dear Dan,
    We’ve looked through your blog and would like to add a link to it on our “Resources” page. This email requests permission to do so.

    We would also appreciate a link here to our site: http://www.biblical.edu.

    As a seminary, we engage students and friends in the missional conversation and provide resources for them to use. We also sponsor conferences (one in October featured Scot McKnight, Tim Keel, Brian McLaren, John Franke, and Darrell Guder)and will launch a new MA in Missional Church Planting in June in collaboration with Shapevine.com.

    We believe your audience and ours can learn and interact with each other. Please let us know if we can link to your site. We look forward to hearing from you shortly.

    In His service,

    Kelley Fitzgerald Royce
    Director, IA Communications
