Don’t you love singing classic “Lord, I need You” and new lyrics like “I hear your song of victory ring over me?”

Lord, sitting here with these two songs overwhelming my heart, I see it.

I see our cry of hourly need, and I hear your song of victory, and, in that, I see the meticulously stitched fabric of comfort and protection.

Oh, my God, how great thou art! That each hour we call, your presence is there! And, and the devil flees!

It’s one grand play in which the stage is set, the lines are rehearsed, the end is known. It’s at the ready; it’s always a standing ovation.

If (Lord, if) the cue is heard.

The cry that starts the scene.

The plea that notifies the cast that “It’s Time.”

The cue. Lord, that’s our cue.

Father, why do we, your children, forget our lines? Why do we forget our voice? Oh, Father, why do we forget your presence?

I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that we will speak our need boldly before the throne of Grace this moment. I pray that your song of victory will ring over the heart in prayer. I pray, Lord Jesus, that in your Name satan will flee from the presence of your child this very minute. I pray victory, Lord, your standing, ever-present victory will reign!
