Your kingdom is simple
As simple as love
You welcomed the children
You stopped for the one
We want to see people
The way Jesus does
Your kingdom is simple
Lord teach it to us
Your kingdom is humble
As humble as death
His King is a savior
Who gave His last breath
So may we die daily
Our pride laid to rest
His kingdom is humble
And the broken are blessed
Hallelujah
Hallowed be Your name
May we live and breathe Your praise
Hallelujah
Let all creation say
Oh The King of heaven reigns
(Yes he does, yes he does)
Your kingdom is coming
Your kingdom is here
Alive in our waiting
At work in our tears
So come to us quickly
Forever our prayer
Your kingdom is coming
Lord Jesus come near (hallelujah)
Your kingdom is backwards
It flows in reverse
What You call a treasure
This world calls a curse
The small become great and
The last become first
Your kingdom is backwards
Lord teach us to serve
As it is with Your kingdom
Let it be with Your church
He reigns forever
He reigns forever
Intercession
Intercession is a fancy and cool word that describes a standing in the gap and a stepping in on somebody else’s behalf through prayer. If you’d like to be prayed for like this by our entire community, reach out to Justie.

Pray for healing
Praying the Psalms
Abbreviated and Adapted Introduction to the Psalms by Eugene Peterson
Most Christians for most of the Christian centuries have learned to pray by praying the Psalms. The Psalms are a prayer book that gives us language adequate for responding to the God who speaks to us. The Psalms teach us to pray by giving voice to the entire experience of being human, both honestly and thoroughly.
The Psalms in their original language are earthy and rough. They are the utterances of men and women passionate for God in moments of anger and praise and lament. Modern english translations can miss something of that.
In selecting the New Living Translation for our prayer exercise we are hoping to use a translation of the Psalms that show off the immense range and the terrific energies of prayer in the kind of language that is more immediate to the way we speak and think now. Just like the Psalms were originally written in a language and style that was common, understandable, and even raw and emotionally charged to its authors and readers.
Only as we develop raw honesty and detailed thoroughness in our prayer do we become whole, truly human in Jesus Christ, who also prayed the Psalms.

A prayer of David.
1 Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
2 Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
3 Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
4 Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
6 Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
7 I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me.
Evangelism
We want to be people who are thinking outside of our church and selves, praying for the world around us and saying yes to opportunities to share the good new of Jesus with the world around us. We know this process is dependent on prayer and want to create space for that weekly.
