Unfathomed

If My people called by My name

What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captives free
And not let satan have one more

What if the church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates

What if His people prayed
And those who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way

And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do

What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way

He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear
If only we would pray

If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray

And what if we did? Imagine, people who turn to see Jesus, not leaders on earth, not false prophets, not worship leaders, not counselors or any man. What if we lifted our voices in truth and praise and worship, without our own selfish motives or self-conscious attitudes weighing us down, keeping our feet still and our arms by our sides. What if we danced when music played, what if we bowed down to the LORD in silent worship, what if we sang to God with a voice so pure and selfless that it becomes a sweet fragrance to God. What if we prayed, not for our simple human desires, but for those around us. For God's people. What if the church taught the truth to it's people, instead of manipulating and lying and leading their sheep astray? What if people had strength and truth and sincerity and a complete will for God. What if we took our message to the people on our blocks, our peers, our generation? What if we showed them freedom in God, and a hope and peace that surpasses all understanding. A hope and a love and a faith that brings you into the arms of Jesus for eternity.

What then?
