God sees

Lord, You are here in our midst
You are here in our troubles
In our every situation
You are not just here in the good times
You are not a lofty idea, a foreign concept
You see the pain Your people go through and it grieves You
You are the all-sovereign God but You care for each of us deeply
You call Your people to action
To reach out to the hurting
To protect and to stand in the gap
To feed the hungry, tend to the sick, uphold the weak
To be a voice for those who have no say in their society
To fight for justice and live out Your righteous ways
That we may be an example of Your truth to every people group
That they may know You exist and are good
You are not deaf to their cries
You are not powerless in the face of the treacherous enemy
You roar like a mighty lion at the wicked
You are restoring that which has been taken from me, from us
You are mending, healing, bringing new hope
I am Your hands and feet here on this earth
Make me fearless, a warrior the enemy cannot defeat
I long to bring Your healing to the broken
To shield the ones who cannot defend themselves
Lord give me strength and faith
Give me love and wisdom and favour
Then give me the nations
