(Beth Norland)
Prayers in Song
This CD is full of prayer songs I have written, and prayed in my own prayer closet. I now believe that God desires for me to share them with the Body of Christ, so they can be prayed "corporately".
Did you know that singing is a FORM of PRAYER? Singing is also a way of teaching and admonishing one another. Read Colossians 3:16 in your bible.
The first song, THE KINGDOM OF GOD, is why we pray: That we may rule and reign with Christ on the earth, via our prayers.
HE HEARS and HE ANSWERS! Blessed Be the Name of The Lord!
The Kingdom of God (Daniel 7:14,27 Daniel 4:26 Psalm 145:13)
PART ONE
Chorus 1
The Kingdom of God

From generation to generation.
The Kingdom of God

Heaven rules ( everlasting-from generation to generation)
Chorus 2

PART TWO
Jesus is Lord
He is King of kings and Lord of lords
And we are the lords and kings
We reign with Him
We reign
In Jesus’ name
We reign
And Heaven rules.
Repeat from Beginning ending with WE REIGN and HEAVEN RULES

The World Has Yet To See You
C F G C
Christ Jesus, The world has yet to SEE you.
Your name should be upon their lips, love for you upon their hearts,
yet they SEE you not.
Is it because we do not reflect you as we ought, we who know you?
Is it because our love for you has grown cold too?
C F G C
Christ Jesus, The world has yet to SEE you.
Raise up a generation who will purify themselves and reflect you.
Whose love for you will consume them.
A people who will choose to pay the cost to glorify you so others may know
you.
C F G C
Christ Jesus, The world has yet to SEE you.
Restore the lives of your servants. Grant them joy! Grant them peace.
Provide for their dreams in you to be fulfilled, and that being, so their glory in
you may be seen! Abundant life is my desire for your faithful ones!
Rise up and consume them - Shelter them - Renew them.
Be our salvation in this life, as well as in the life to come.
C F G C
Christ Jesus, The world has yet to SEE you.
Cause your Spirit to draw them into your word. And, into your courts of
praise!
Let their voices acclaim you everywhere they go - not just in your house.
Loose our prayers, and loose our hearts to care for others, so YOU may be
SEEN.
C F G C
Christ Jesus, The world has yet to SEE you.
Send out your chosen ones to all the earth in your great name.
Let them serve one another as you served.
Let them have the greater joy of a life of ministry to you,
and to your people.
C F G C
Christ Jesus, The world has yet to SEE you (repeat).
