THE PRAYER

Last April, at Mountain Mission School, Tommy Oaks came to do a revival. He was there for 3 days to lead this revival. The second night he said something that really struck a chord in me. He started talkin' about these 14 simple words that if you say them your life would be perfect. He asked do you wanna be a great husband? Then prayer these words. Do you wanna be a great wife? Then pray these words. Do you wanna have a awesome relationship with Christ? Then pray these words. He had us all on the edge of our seats for he went on about these 14 words for what seemed forever. We all awaited with great expection in the suspense in which he had us entangled! Finally he said prayer these 14 words: THY KINGDOM COME! THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN! I was blown away! At the end of that night, Tommy had us all get done on our knees and pray that very prayer! I got to thinking that is all I need in my life is to let GOD'S WILL be done not mine. I played it over it my head and out came the following song:


The Prayer

I’ve fought and fought
I’ve wrestled with You Lord
I’m out of breathI’m spent and wasted
I’m tired of having it my way

My will is on Your throne in my heart
This abomination has brought forth
Only destruction and desolation
I’m here now, I’m Yours now

Jesus, my Lord, Your kingdom come
And let mine perish
Jesus, my King, let Your will be done
Let it be done on earth
As it is done in Heaven
My will is to let You do Yours

I’ve given You my all before
Just to pry control back from Your hands
I’m the lover who is unfaithful
Casting my pearls before swine
I’m tired of having it my way

My will is on Your throne in my heart
This abomination has brought forth
Only destruction and desolation
I’m here now, I’m Yours now

Jesus, my Lord, Your kingdom come
And let mine perish
Jesus, my King, let Your will be done
Let it be done on earth As it is done in Heaven
My will is to let You do Yours

I’m on my knees with tears in my eyes
They are streaming down my face
They hit the floor with an thundering echo
I’m drowning now in my own sorrow
The tears reach the gaping hole
The empty chasm in my chest
Where my heart once beat for me
It lays, covered in tears, at Your feet
Beating for You, beating for You

Let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
In me as it was in You, Jesus
In me as it was in You, Jesus
Your will be done, oh, Your will be done
Let it be done Lord
Your will let it be doneJesus, my Lord
Your kingdom come
And let mine perish Jesus, my King, let Your will be done
Let it be done on earth
As it is done in Heaven
My will is to let You do Yours

Your kingdom come, Your will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
On earth as it is in Heaven
On earth...as it is...in Heaven
In Heaven

My prayer is that you read that and were encouraged to surrender to Christ's will! For it is my own prayer as well!

Love and peace in our Lord Jesus Christ,
