Away from ourselves – towards You and towards others.

Into wisdom through fear

Into strength through weakness

Into dependency through brokenness

Into life through death

Move us into Your truth

Through Your word and Your Spirit

Through our longings for justice

Through our relationships

Through beauty

Move us into Your reality

The nearness of Your presence

The holiness of Your character

The freedom of Your rule

The offer of Your restoration

Father God move us

Move us out of our comfort zones

Out of our safety, security, and social groups

Move us into uncommon areas

Toward the unwanted

Move us to forgive as we’ve been forgiven

Move us to serve as we’ve been served

To the fatherless

To the motherless

To the friendless

To the hopeless

To the purposeless

To the hopeless

To the careless

To the joyless

To the loveless

Move us from death to life

Move us out of the grave

Out of sin

Out of fear

Out of death

Move us into light

Into righteousness

Into wholeness

Into life

With open hands, forgiveness, and hope.

Move us to bring people to You

Away from ourselves – towards You and towards others

Grow Us Up

Grow us up Lord

We think we’re older than we are

Making decisions on our own

Relying on convenient wisdom.

Mature us Lord

We think we deserve what we don’t

Crying when confronted

Nothing offends us that should.

Humble us Lord

We think too much of ourselves

Straining to be seen and heard

Condemning them to exalt us.

Destory us Lord

We think we’re invincible

Getting in the way of heaving

Making much of tiny kingdoms.

Resurrect us Lord

We think death starts when we die

Spreading death naturally

Dying before we die we’ll survive.
