Someday Soon

Someday it won’t be like this

Someday we will hear a shout

And a trumpet in the sky

Someday we will be lifted up high

Living in a new heaven

And a new earth

Safe and sound in our rebirth

So, hang on and keep strong your faith

What is now will soon be replaced

No more will Your servants be tortured and abused

No more will Your children be stolen and wrongly used

No more wars over religious views

No more anger and hatred being fused

No more tears when sin has its way

No more fear of evil in this day

No more accidents, disease, or famine on display

No more marriages gone astray

No more  No more  No more

Because someday

Someday it won’t be like this

Someday we will hear a shout

And a trumpet in the sky

Someday we will be lifted up high

Living in a new heaven

And a new earth

All the saints will be reborn and new

All will have the same religious views

All the children playing on the streets of gold

All hate and anger will be memories of old

All those tears and sin will just cease

It will be replaced by joy and peace

Accidents disease and famine are left behind

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we will find

All this   All this  and so much more

Because someday

Someday it won’t be like this

Someday we will hear a shout

And a trumpet in the sky

Someday we will be lifted up high

Living in a new heaven

And a new earth

Safe and sound in our rebirth

So, hang on and keep strong your faith

What is now will soon be replaced

Our world gets worse each new day

Our faith remains strong as we pray

For You our soon and coming King

Then everything becomes new yes everything

Someday soon yes someday soon

What is now will all be replaced

Jesus is coming he will show his face

Someday it won’t be like this

Someday we will hear a shout

And a trumpet in the sky

Someday we will be lifted up high

Living in a new heaven

And a new earth

Safe and sound in our rebirth

So, hang on and keep strong your faith

What is now will soon be replaced

Making It Back To You

Making It Back To You

                                                                                   

                                                   

Lord I’m a long way from your light

I’ve let darkness come in both day and night

I’ve let their roots grow deep

I now even hear voices when I sleep

They’ve found a home in my mind and soul

They now have control

The enemy is sneaky; he gave me friends along the way

Your name was even included to make it feel okay

I am scared and confused and I want you back

I give you permission to take the darkness you see

Round it up, lock it up and throw away the key

Seek it out, cut it out and cast it out of me

Let your spirit come in and set me free

The light you sent for me to be saved

Deception and trickery keep it away

You kept trying and trying until one day

The prayers of those who love me broke through

And you showed me the way

Away from me Satan, I belong to Christ

Christ doesn’t love you he left you did he

Away from me Satan I belong to Christ

I left him, he didn’t leave me

I felt the power of the Lord throw my enemies aside

As His love filled me from the inside

Then he stepped in front of me and threw his arms out wide

Get away, he told the enemy, from my joy and my pride

I felt the joy of the Lord become my strength

As I stood behind my savior with release on my face

Thank you, Lord Jesus for not giving up on me

You paid the price so I could have this victory

Victory is found in Jesus alone

Yes, victory is found in Jesus alone

He will give you a heart of flesh

And take away the one of stone

Prayer for Billings

Sovereign God, creator of all there is

Unite your churches as one and let it be a center of prayer, of holiness, of unity, of peace

Give your church boldness to speak your Word in love

As people become aware of their sin, make us ready for your Word to find its way in

Give us courage to be in the center of your Will.

Perform signs, wonders and miracles so people will have no doubt it is you.

Take us out of ourselves and fill us with your Holy Spirit fresh and new.

Put your angels around this city and let no evil in.

Send your army to cut and clear out the sin.

Break these strongholds of evil so that you can have a harvest of souls.

Convict all your children in Billings to pray for that goal.

Holy Spirit shine your light on these and other areas of darkness.

Expose them for what they are and make them lifeless.

Lord may you be glorified in Billings.

Lord may you be praised in Billings.

We pray for revival for Billings.

May this city be known for its faithfulness to You,

Through the redemption of your Blood.

We claim this city for the Lord.

We claim this city for the Lord.

We claim this city for the Lord.

Let Billings walk in the realm of your glory

Pour out your Spirit over Billings

By the power of your Word, your Blood, your Cross, your Spirit
in Jesus name!  

AMEN AND AMEN

It's Okay

It’s Okay

Go ahead and pray

Everything will be okay

Will it turn out the way you want

That’s up to God but probably not

Pray from your heart

It’s not what you say

He hears and applies it to his will

Because that’s God’s way

His ways are not ours

So, Let go and let God empower

Even though you cry out all night

God’s promise

Joy will come at daylight

Our faith may be

Small as a mustard seed

Claim his promises

And on his word feed

Our faith can move mountains you see

So, go ahead and pray fervently

Our eyes see

What is right in front of our face

We look selfishly

And hope for his grace

His eyes see throughout eternity

They see what must be

So, go ahead and pray

Everything will be okay

Emptiness

Hello emptiness you’ve become my friend

You’ve been with me since I’ve began

Your seed was planted at my birth

It made me question what I was worth

Self- condemning became my focused goal

Even thoughts of suicide reached my soul

So, I cried out into space

Someone take me from this place

The words of a Psalm flashed in my mind

Saying, you are uniquely made and one of a kind

Created by God in complete love

So, when it comes to push and shove

He’ll take you out of the place your in

If you believe and trust in Him

I cried out again this time from my heart

I told Him I trust and believe

Give me a fresh start

My life was turned around

I was lost but now I am found

Cry out to Jesus from your need

He will plant in you a holy seed

The emptiness that became your friend

Will be replaced with a savior upon whom you can depend

Cry out to the risen one

He hears our cries

Cry out to the risen one

He will always come

Cry out to the risen one

He is His Father’s Holy Son

TOGETHER ONCE MORE

Together once more, it’s been a long time.

I’m sorry I left, but the world seemed so fine.

It saddens me now, how I was so easily deceived.

I’m ready to come back;

I see you are there waiting for me.

My heart had been broken;

I found false joy everywhere.

The love I searched for turned out not to be there.

It saddens me now, how I was so easily deceived.

I am ready to come back;

I see you are there waiting for me.

Your love, joy, and peace, I ‘m ready to receive.

They are free to all, if they truly believe.

I ‘m coming back to you, I see your arms opened wide.

I humbly bow and repent of my pride.

It saddens men now, how I was so easily deceived.

I’m ready to come back;

I see you are there waiting for me.

He is waiting for you just like he waited for me.
