Prayers to
God from Joel 2:1-17
Blow the trumpet in Zion;
call a solemn assembly;
gather the people.
Sanctify the congregation;
assemble the aged;
gather the children,
even infants
For when people gather in my
name I am with them
When forgiveness spring forth I
am there
When people see my glory they
repent
They become my children
Of them I am proud of them
Blow the trumpet
in Zion;
sound the alarm on my holy mountain!
Let all the
inhabitants of the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord is coming, it is
near—
a day of darkness
and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness!
Like blackness
spread upon the mountains
He has descend his holy mountain
to reach his people
The Lord our God had walked the
mortal life to reach us
He ascended Calvary’s hill to
save us
He suffered upon the cross to
show us real forgiveness
He died and rose again to call
his children home
The son of man did all this so
heaven and earth will shine forth his glory
Yet even now, says the Lord,
return to me with
all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
rend your hearts
and not your clothing.
Return to the Lord, your God,
for he is gracious
and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.
If they only we loved one
another
If they we’d listen to Gods word
If only we’d gladly accept His
holy sprit
If only we had eye to see and
ear to hear
Between the vestibule and the altar
let the priests,
the ministers of the Lord, weep.
Let them say, ‘Spare your people, O Lord,
For God is our refuge of old
He is are hope and security
Upon him build your life
For his forgiveness is eternal
He will never forsake us
He will never abandon us
God will never forget to forgive
He is our salvation
