Repent or Perish!

. . .


May the world know that I am yours.
I will never be silenced.

I will resist my sin to the point of blood, and I will
wear my scars like badges of honor.
But let my hope cry out that my God is greater than the pain of persecution.
My God is greater than this world.

There will never be another chance to live today for God.
There will never be another name that can save us from ourselves.
And so, steadfast and undeterred, I will proclaim the name of Christ to a dead and dying world.
I am not ashamed!

We will resist our sin to the point of blood, and we will wear our scars like badges of honor.
But let our hope cry out that our God is greater than the pain of persecution.

Blinded, I saw that Christ is Lord.
Now, may the world see you through open eyes.
God, my Father, reign.

. . .


Grace is my destiny, but pride is my home. Your words have called me from my comfort. I'll give you my life, if you'll hold it in your truth, because truth is the pursuit that captivates my soul. And, teacher, to be honest, I am very afraid.

This is all I have. I come before you broken. This is all I have. Tell me there is more than this.

Jesus, I'd give my life for a truth that could never be shaken. And, then you came to offer me everything that I'd been looking for. So now, I am the reborn, into a life of purpose. I am the renewed; born of the Spirit, and sent forth to walk in truth.

I will walk in truth; in all the truth of your miraculous power. I will walk in truth. And expect your healing hands to work in me.

You are all I have. I stand before you redeemed. You are all I have. I could never want more than this.

. . .


Let the trumpet sound for the coming King. The almighty approaches! Let the whole world see. Wake up! This is really
happening--the locusts devouring everything. The great and dreadful day of the Lord has fallen on the land. May you bear the mark of righteousness. We will
not be forsaken. May your conviction stand to profess: we will not be forgotten.

America, you will be judged, but His people will be restored.
Fall to your knees but there is life at at the throne of god
You will be judged. Seek your mercy now, while it may still be found.
Arise, take up your sword and choose your side. Tonight, prepare for battle.
For the dream of God will come from the lips of children, and His Spirit will pour out
onto all flesh. You will see the sun black out, and the moon turned to blood.
Then you will know there is one God and the LORD is His name.

. . .


You're not alone, my son. I made you for so much more than this. Don't be afraid, my child., for I have overcome the world. Go tell the world that I would die for them to know me. And I would die for them to live. And this is life: that they would know you, God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

This is life, child. I'll give you everything. And you can stand tall for there is life in me. Now, let the blood I shed be just enough for you to know that you will always have a home with me--no, you will not be abandoned.

All hell will not stand against us, for only those who choose to die will claim the life I have for them.

So now the question stands: Would you die for me?

Can you hear it? Can you hear my voice? I've been calling you since the day you were born, to come home to the place I've prepared for you. You're not alone.

. . .


Prepare the way for the Lord to enter in. We must become a people who value righteousness again. Now, we can only stand back and hope to see Him move, or we can be the willing hands of a mighty, living God. Make your choice. Now is the time. But, as for me, I call down fire. God, rain fire.

I believe that God will raise the dead, and He will use these hands to do it. I believe that God will heal the sick. And He has sent me forth to say: “He alone is God. Prepare for His victory.”

Lord, would you bring a breakthrough of heaven on this earth? Would you part the clouds, and pour down on our flesh? We invite you to come, not only here, but to the world around us. Surround us.

I sought the Lord and I found His voice. The mountain trembled, and there was a fire burning, then came the wind, and my God was not there. It was a whisper that brought me His voice, because when heaven speaks to us, we will feel the peace of our perfect Father.

Take my vision and tear down your world. Take my vision and proclaim a time of favor.

. . .

Benedictus (Song Of Zechariah)

[No lyrics]

. . .


An army approaches! Arise! Prepare! This is the Word from the mouth of God. And in it's power you will find life.

We are the watchmen of the new generation, and we will stand faithful; as intercessors and as prophets, as those who call down the breath of God to fill the dead. Know they will arise. Prophecy: “Dry bones, claim your life”.

This is the river of life, and it will flow from the place of worship. He is the giver of life and at His voice, the mountains will fall.

Ultimate decimation.

But, I will not be afraid, for I am a chosen one of God. I will not be afraid, but I will stand for you.

We will rise up, and we will stand prepared, and we will fearlessly defend this city. But, we will not stand alone. Holy Spirit fall, and breath your life into us.

. . .


Here I am, God. Send me to the world. There is a burden on my heart to let the world know that You are God. From You, the mighty King of Kings, I learn the word that sustains the weary heart. But, I have been silent for far too long. I love them too much to sit back and watch them die. So take the life that you gave to me, Lord, and speak your heart to a generation.

Brothers and sisters, my prayer for you has been heard. And you can take refuge and hope in this Word: This is the end of the world as we know it. Death will hold no power. Dry your tears and lift your head. Death will hold no power.

Let the light of life shine down upon a people in darkness.

We are the grateful forgiven; the restored and renewed. We will take for ourselves no rest until we are face of God on the earth. And take no rest, God. Take no rest for yourself. Take no rest, oh Lord. May we be the generation to bring your glory down.

Our generation will prophecy. So let the world know, we are a dynasty.

. . .


Lord of glory, make us worthy to possess your name. Lord of glory, make us worthy to possess your name. And give us a new name. And call us your people, God. And give us a new name.

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. You will live in the land I gave to your forefathers; you will be my people and I will be your God.” [Ezekiel 36:26-28]

Lord of glory, make us worthy to possess your name. Lord of glory, make us worthy to possess your name. And give us a new name. And call us your people, God. And give us a new name.

Lord of glory, make us worthy to possess your name. (x6)
