WE WILL GIVE OURSELVES NO REST
Till Your kingdom comes on earth;
You’ve positioned watchmen on the walls.
Now our prayers will flow like tears,
For You’ve shared Your heart with us;
God of heaven, on our knees we fall.
Come down in power,
Reveal Your heart again;
Come hear our cries,
The tears that plead for rain.
We’re knocking,
Knocking on the door of heaven,
We’re crying,
Crying for this generation;
We’re praying for Your name to be known in all of the earth.
We’re watching,
Watching on the walls to see You,
We’re looking,
Looking for a time of breakthrough;
We’re praying for Your word to bear fruit
In all of the earth, in all of the earth.
Matt Redman & Steve Cantellow
