Today’s message from Pastor Ben Johnson is called “ThankFULL for the Word” based largely on Nehemiah chapter 8. In the book of Nehemiah the Israelites have rediscovered the Word of God and we see the thankfulness that flows out of them for being able to hear it again. In 1 Thessalonians 2 Paul tells us to let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly and see the incredible blessing that the Word of God is in our lives. Today’s song, written a few weeks ago by Kip Fox and Lisa Clark also talks about God’s Word.
Renew Us
by Kip Fox and Lisa Clark
1. Let your justice flow like fountains
And your mercy run in streams.
Let your love roll down the mountains,
Touching all that it redeems.
God, this world that you created
Cries for healing and for grace.
Bring redemption long awaited;
Come restore this sacred place.
2. Use our hands to catch the falling;
Guide our eyes to see the weak.
Lift our voices up, recalling
All the promises you speak.
God, we trust in your salvation
And your power to restore.
Gather us from every nation;
Bring us unity once more.
REFRAIN:
Through your Word, renew us.
By your Spirit, help us see
How the work of Jesus
Makes the world as it should be.
3. Keep our faith alive and shining
Till our hope returns to sight.
Every soul you are refining
Until all will be made right.
God, our broken hearts are yearning
For the day all things are new
We expect your great returning
With a joy complete and true.
