Holy Visitation

Remembered this song driving back here to Alexandria yesterday...found it to be pretty timely.

Lord, we stand here as the desperate people hungry for the things of You. Come quiet the storms, that rage all around us so that we hear the passion that beats through Your heart. Spirit put healing in our hands. Put life in our words and drive a passion for the lost, deep in the hearts of Your people. Inhabit the praises of us Your children. And Father, send us out with a reckless passion. Deliver us from evil and set a standard of unity to break down walls and to heal Your people. Unity is the cry of Your church, Lord. Reconcile the children to the fathers. And with forgiveness and mercy rush through the hearts of our land. We cry out our deep need for You Jesus. Oh God come in power and bring glory to Your name.

Sound the alarm
Gather the people
Gather the elders
Let the ministers wail
God, take back the years that the enemy’s stolen
Lord, You are coming
Holy Visitation

We return to You
With fasting and weeping and mourning
Oh, my Lord, You’re returning
We lie here weeping between porch and altar
Pour out Your spirit on Your sons and Your daughters
We lie here weeping between porch and altar
Pour out Your spirit on Your sons and Your daughters
Sound the alarm

Awaken the watchmen
Open their ears
Let their voices be loud
We prophecy, You’ll come to this nation
Touch this generation
Holy Visitation

We dance, and we shout and we lift up our voice
Let your kingdom come down
