intercession

this morning at lakeland we sang a song that my dad wrote a little over a year ago. God is so faithful. He has made a way for us to have fellowship with Him through the perfect atoning sacrifice that Jesus offered. and not only that, when we have no idea what we are supposed to pray, God has gifted us with the Holy Spirit who "intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." (Romans 8:26-27)

knowing that, may we make haste to come before God in all situations, with all our requests, even when we can't put them into words. hs is a good and faithful God.

the title is "intercession" and it's sung to the tune of the hymn "come thou fount of every blessing".



there's a throne that's high and holy
where the glory can be seen
visible to holy angels prompting heavenly choirs to sing

"holy, holy, hallelujah, holy is the great I AM"
only pure hearts there can enter
; who will rescue sinful man?

only Jesus, only Jesus bids the sinner enter in

freely saving those who cry out, blood atoning for their sin

ever living, interceding by the power of endless life

He is seated at the right hand of the Majesty on high


pray with us, oh Holy Spirit as we come before the throne

when our longings cannot find words Holy Spirit, make them known

pray according to the pleasure of the Father's perfect plan

in our weakness, when we falter Holy Spirit, help us stan
