Father, Hear Us Call on You

The Global Day of Prayer is coming up this Sunday (see video in previous post). Two years ago, I wrote this song (press PLAY button below to listen) a few weeks before the Global Day of Prayer. As I learned to play it, I realized the Holy Spirit had given me a prayer and a song hinting at the revelation of Jesus to the world in and through His people in the end times.

So, this blog is about what I desire and am asking the Father to do as HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of His children lift their hearts to Him in unison in just a few days. It is the same cry as the lyrics of this song – My prayer to see the heart and will of the Father be manifested in the earth. It is long, but this barely scratches the surface of all that fills my heart from the Word of God on this subject.

Prayer and Song for the Global Day of Prayer

Call on You

Father hear us call on You
Father won’t you make this worship true?
All we really want is to see Your Face
Spirit, Jesus, lend your grace

Pour out all You are
On Your sons and daughters
Fulfilling all Your words and all Your times
Through softened hearts and open eyes

Jesus poured out His blood
Covering the earth with a Holy flood
Glory, water on the sea
Glory now, in you and me

Pour out all You are
On Your sons and daughters
Fulfilling all Your words and all Your times
Through softened hearts and open eyes

Yahweh hear us call Your Name
Aish Ha Ruach, the Eternal Flame
Consume our ways and let them go
Holy River, begin to flow
Through us and all around
Salvation spring up from the ground
Sons and daughters prophesy
As the Morning Star begins to rise

And Father won’t you please

Pour out all You are
On Your sons and daughters
Fulfilling all Your words and all Your times
Through softened hearts and open eyes

Father hear us call on You

Time and time again, the psalmist David appealed to the Lord to hear His cry and answer speedily. God assures us that He will indeed answer our cry as His Spirit moves us into a desperate supplication day and night for His Kingdom to come to the earth.

Luke 18:1-8
Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’” Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

Father won’t you make this worship true?

And so we ask Him to give us what we cannot just “muster up” for ourselves – true faith, love, devotion, and passion for Jesus. We ask God to fulfill His word that Jesus gave to the woman at the well.

John 4:23-24 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

What does it mean and how can we worship Him in Spirit and in truth?

All we really want is to see Your face
Spirit, Jesus, lend your grace

The whole point is to see Jesus. Who is this Son of God? What does it mean that the Living Word, the Manifestation of all the Promises of the Living God, is alive and walks the earth living His life through us?

Revelation of the Person of Jesus is the key to it all. As we see Him, we are transformed into what He created us to be – children of the living God able to glorify and reveal to the world and all the principalities the perfection of our Creator. We do this as we worship Him in Spirit and truth through the grace given by the same Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

1 John 3 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

Ephesians 3:10-11 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord

It is no longer I who live in these moments that my faith takes hold of the promise of the Father.

Pour out all You are
On Your sons and daughters
Fulfilling all Your Words and all Your times through
Softened hearts and open eyes

Joel 2:28-29

“ And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.
And also on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days

John 12:38-41
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:

“ Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?”

Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

“ He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
Lest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”

These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

I may continue on these things in a future post because there is so much here to set my heart on fire. I love the names of God used in the song and how they reveal things about God. Yahweh - the Great I AM. Aish HaRuach - literally fire of the Spirit or the consuming fire of God's Holy Spirit. Holy River - the Spirit of God who flows corporately through His people (see references to the river of life in Revelation.) I especially love the Morning Star and the idea of the revelation of Jesus rising like the sun in our hearts as He glorifies Himself in the church.

Isaiah 60:1-3

Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the LORD will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

As always,with love,
IN CHRIST,
Karen.
