Worship Declaration & Prayer –  By Bonnie Kirk

Jesus, we're learning a lifestyle of worship

Thank you for this relationship

Where you show us what you are like

And we get to fall in love with you

Over and over

I pray that our personal times with you

Will deepen our fellowship here

That our gatherings will bring down Heaven

 

Whether we feel you or not

We believe that you are why we live

 

We pray to be made whole

So that we can experience you more

 

Help us to tune into you

You are the best communicator

Help us listen

Without being afraid

Of what you might ask

Help us loosen our grip on our lives

And trust that you won't leave us lacking

You know how you put us together

All the fire, all the power in us

We worship you with our thoughts

And with the energy of our lives

We worship you with our choices Lord

Obedience means moving forward

The Word of your Spirit

Is more powerful than anything else

Help us to know this well

And live like we know it

Your will is love

Your way is perfect

You are entirely good

There is no exciting, wild and creative tendency in us

That is apart from our God

We want to know our incredible Jesus

We want to bless you

You created motion and momentum.

You understand why your church is restless at times

Thank you for the dreams you dream with us

You are the beautiful genius, Holy Spirit

You have a strategy

Your Spirit is whispering it to us

This Valley is yours

Made to contain the worship of Heaven

Fill us with hope

Help us move past our own lives

So that we can join together in the vision

You created motion and momentum.

You understand why your church is restless at times

Thank you for the dreams you dream with us

You are the beautiful genius, Holy Spirit

You have a strategy

Your Spirit is whispering it to us

This Valley is yours

Made to contain the worship of Heaven

Fill us with hope

Help us move past our own lives

So that we can join together in the vision

You long for your glory

To be expressed through us

You are steadfast

You have all authority over our region

Thank you for your faithfulness to us

And your patience as we grow

If we are looking at you

We are not going to fall

When we suffer

You invite us close

You make our hearts bigger

So that we can hold more of your presence

You teach us that leaning on you

Is abundant life

Thank you for being our comforter

Jesus, prince of peace

You quiet us with your love

Free us from old thinking

That steals the fun

From running after you

Renew our minds

We want to be in touch with what you are doing

Right now

You are what we look forward to most

You are our life

And we want to discover you all of our days
