Time to Grow: Weeping

We've started a six-week series exploring our church's vision and mission, including how we might participate in it.  Looking at Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, we began by wrestling with the concept that first of all it is a time for us to weep.  To weep for our city as Jesus wept for Jerusalem.  Listen in...Download time_to_grow_stu_cameron_8am.mp3

As we weep, we weep with Jesus,The Heart of the Father,The Heart-felt groaning of the Spirit:
A Song of Graham Kendrick:
O Lord, the clouds are gathering
the fire of judgement burns
how we have fallen!
O Lord, you stand appalled to see
Your laws of love so scorned
and lives so broken
Chorus) Have mercy, Lord, (Men) Have mercy, Lord, (Women)
Forgive us, Lord, (Men) Forgive us, Lord (Women)
Restore us, Lord (All) Revive your church again
Let justice flow (Men) Let justice flow (Women)
Like rivers (Men) Like rivers (Women)
And righteousness like a never failing stream (All)
O Lord, over the nations now
where is the dove of peace?
Her wings are broken.
O Lord, while precious children starve
the tools of war increase, their bread is stolen. (Chorus)
O Lord, dark powers are poised to flood
our streets with hate and fear;
we must awaken!
O Lord, let love reclaim the lives
that sin would sweep away
and let your kingdom come. (Chorus)
Yet, O Lord, your glorious cross shall tower
triumphant in this land,
evil confounding.
Through the fire your suffering church display
the glories of her Christ,
praises resounding!
