I love how some songs are actually prayers. Build Your Kingdom Here is one of those songs. "We are your church." "Show your mighty hand." These are just some of the great prayerful things you sing. The whole song is like you are singing to God. I believe that there is something special about singing to God, not just about God. "Come set your rule and reign in our hearts again." "Come set our hearts ablaze with hope like wild fire in our very souls." Rend Collective is asking God to empower and embolden the church to bring His light and word to the world. Every army needs an anthem and for me this is perfect!
Verses for Consideration:
1 Timothy 6:12 ESV
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Acts 1:8 ESV
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Lyrics:
Come set Your rule and reign
In our hearts again Increase in us we pray Unveil why we're made Come set our hearts ablaze with hope Like wildfire in our very souls Holy Spirit come invade us now We are Your Church And we need Your power In us
We seek Your kingdom first We hunger and we thirst Refuse to waste our lives For You're our joy and prize To see the captive hearts released The hurt, the sick, the poor at peace We lay down our lives for Heaven's cause We are Your church And we pray revive This earth
Build Your kingdom here Let the darkness fear Show Your mighty hand Heal our streets and land Set Your church on fire Win this nation back Change the atmosphere Build Your kingdom here We pray
Unleash Your kingdom's power Reaching the near and far No force of hell can stop Your beauty changing hearts You made us for much more than this Awake the kingdom seed in us Fill us with the strength and love of Christ We are Your church Oh, and we are the hope On earth
Build Your kingdom here
Let the darkness fear Show Your mighty hand Heal our streets and land Set Your church on fire Win this nation back Change the atmosphere Build Your kingdom here We pray
Build Your kingdom here Let the darkness fear Show Your mighty hand Heal our streets and land Set Your church on fire Win this nation back Change the atmosphere Build Your kingdom here We pray
