11-11-11 theCall (A Poem)

The Holy Spirit is in this place today! I haven't written poetry in over a decade, but here it is, just pouring out of me this morning...

Today is the day: 11-11-11,

Now is the time that we cry out to Heaven.

We fast and we pray for Your mercy and grace,

We bow to our knees and we seek Your face.

Father above let Your Spirit fall,

Cover this region, cover us all.

We stand in the gap and declare there is no Other,

We repent of our sin of pursuing lesser lovers.

With humble hearts full of anticipation,

We cry out for revival to come to our Nation.

You are the God Who will make all the wrong things right.

You are the God Who dispels the darkness with Light.

Jesus, You are the King, come and make Your Name famous!

Let all of Detroit worship the Lord of the Ages!

We long for Your Presence,

We yearn for Your touch.

Transform us in this hour; You're more than enough.

As we worship You, Lord, Will You inhabit our praises?

As we kneel at Your Throne, Let Your beauty amaze us.

Today is the day: 11-11-11.

Now is the time that we cry out to heaven.
