LET YOUR KINGDOM COME
The Lord Jesus needs to be given his rightful place to reign in us,
For two thousand years the church has prayed “Thy Kingdom Come”
Yet many of us forgotten that the King of the Kingdom is Jesus,
So dear King have your way in us, that your Kingdom might truly come.
For like any King you need to have somewhere to reign in,
Yet here we are longing for the fullness of your Kingdom to come,
And you are waiting for us to die to selves completely that a new level may be heralded in,
Purify our hearts Lord, change us deep within that your Kingdom might come.
Lord our desire is to see your Kingdom invade this earth in a new and fresh way,
And you have called us into your service each moment of every day,
Whether at work, college, ministry or play we are to live for you alone,
For we are so blessed to be your sons and daughters, that you call your own.
Teach us what following you is all about, we know it comes with a cost,
But you would have us to come in ready obedience taking up our cross.
When you have your full way in us, true signs and wonders will follow in this hour,
Greater works will be seen when you reign and your people walk in full Holy Spirit Power.
So Lord we are asking you to come and take your place truly reigning in us,
For our hearts burn with longing for more of you our King, dear Lord Jesus,
And we want to be a strong beam of light shining in the darkness in this new season,
That the people out there might know that you live and find life’s meaning.
