The Mountain and the Mission

From the mountain and the mission

Let the Kingdom come

From the classroom and the kitchen

Let the Kingdom come

From the roads and reservation

Let the Kingdom come

From every single congregation

Let the Kingdom come

People rise up, for our time has come

To pour our lives out for the world He loves

So let that kind of kingdom come

Let that kind of kingdom come

From the fairway and the fountain

Let the Kingdom come

From every seat on city council

Let the Kingdom come

From the base and from the bedroom

Let the Kingdom come

To every face that hasn’t met You

Let the Kingdom come

People rise up, for our time has come

To pour our lives out for the world He loves

So let that kind of kingdom come

Let that kind of kingdom come

Oh, come alive, let Your vision arise

Oh, come alive!

People rise up, for our time has come

To pour our lives out for the world He loves

So people rise for our time has come

To live like we believe that He is love

For everyone

So let that kind of kingdom come

Shake This City

Come shake this city

Come shake this city, Lord

Let Your kingdom resound in our hearts

Your voice is like the sunset in the west

That grows like fire deep within our chest

Your voice is like the sunrise in the east

Rising for all, the great and least

May Your word move all across this place

And Your kingdom speak in us today

Come shake this city

Come shake this city, Lord

Let Your kingdom resound in our hearts

Your voice is like the mountain in the north

That towers high above the valley floor

Your voice is like the desert in the south

That stretches wide and reaches out

May Your word move all across this place

And Your kingdom speak in us today

Come shake this city

Come shake this city, Lord

Let Your kingdom resound in our hearts

Come with power like a summer storm

Shake the valley, make the canyon roar

Come with power like a summer storm

Shake the valley, make the canyon roar

Come shake this city

Come shake this city, Lord

Let Your kingdom resound in our hearts

In Tucson As It Is in Heaven

If we look around, Lord we can see You

If we listen well, Lord we can hear You

These veils within our hearts are torn

Will You enter in

Will You draw us out, Lord

We want to be Your movement here

For our city’s hope we won’t be silent

For our city’s sake we won’t keep still

Until her goodness shouts Your name

Her salvation grows like a burning flame

And others see Your movement here

Oh may Your town not be abandoned

And may Your town not be forgotten

We want to be Your delight

So come, let Your kingdom come

In Tucson as it is in heaven

So come, let Your kingdom come

In Tucson as it is in heaven

Oh may we not be called abandoned

And may we not be called forgotten

We want to be Your delight

So come, let Your kingdom come

In Tucson as it is in heaven

So come, let Your kingdom come

In Tucson as it is in heaven

Break Down the Hard Ground

You are kind, show us how to be kind

You speak truth, show us how to be true

In a dry and weary desert

There’s a longing all around

For a well of flowing water

And it’s growing underground

If we choose to work together

Then revival might be found

You forgive, show us how to forgive

In a dry and weary desert

There’s a longing all around

For a well of flowing water

And it’s growing underground

If we choose to work together

Then revival might be found

Breaking it down, breaking it down

The hard ground, break it all down, break it

Breaking it down, breaking it down

The hard ground, come on and break it down

Lord, we yield to You,

Submit our lives to You

Let Your love break through the ground!

ASCAP/ T. Williams/ BMI

Make Us Ready

Make us ready, make us ready

Make us ready, come on now

We confess our independent ways

Make us ready, make us ready

Make us ready, come on now

We confess our isolated ways

Make us ready, make us ready

Make us ready, come on now

Conflict, strife, contention

That’s not Your intention

Stubbornness, division

Lord, we need Your vision

Serving in disunity

That’s not who we’re called to be

Living in disharmony

Lord, we need Your remedy

Make us ready, make us ready

Make us ready, come on now

ASCAP/ T. Williams/ BMI

Borders

These lines that we’ve created

Were not part of Your plan

These borders we’ve protected

Were never from Your hand

Jesus, please defend us from

Our need to take control

It’s clear right now we are not capable

Your love is tearing down walls

ASCAP/ T. Williams/ BMI

With Your Love

Lord, may I hear Your voice

That speaks to my doubt and fear

And moves deep within my heart to

Change me, please change me

Lord, help me know Your love

That leads into great unknowns

And walks down the streets of grace

And mercy, Your mercy

With Your love I can learn to love the other

With Your love I can seek to understand

With Your love I can step outside my comfort

Your love, Jesus, Your love

Help me love

Lord, help us know Your love

That leads into great unknowns

And walks down the streets of grace

And mercy, Your mercy

With Your love we can learn to love the other

With Your love we can seek to understand

With Your love we can step outside our comfort

Your love, Jesus, Your love

With Your love we can bind the broken-hearted

With Your love we can set the captives free

With Your love we can balance truth and mercy

Your love, Jesus, Your love

Help us love

With Your love we can fight against injustice

With Your love we can love our enemies

With Your love we are free to serve each other

Your love, Jesus, Your love

With Your love we can cross through every border

With Your love all division has to cease

With Your love every evil scheme is vanquished

Your love, Jesus, Your love

Help us love

ASCAP/ T. Williams/ BMI

Season of God's Favor

In our days of trouble

You’re never far away

Though our future is uncertain

we will pray that as Your church we will unite

and love each other well

And show the hope of Your Good News

that we all love to tell

This is the season of God’s favor

This is the season of His peace

This is the season of God’s mercy

So please release

Please release

In our congregations

we’re longing for the day

we join Your heart, oh Jesus

and we pray that as Your church we will unite

and love each other well

And show the hope of Your Good News

that we all love to tell

Release Your favor on me

to be the change we hope to see

I want to follow You where You lead

This is the season of God’s favor

This is the season of His peace

This is the season of God’s mercy

So please release

So please release in us

May Our Sons in Youth

May our sons in youth, be firm in their roots

May our daughters be pillars in the palace of truth

May our houses be homes, may our wells overflow

May our peace increase ten-thousand fold

May we slay deceit, rise from defeat

May You keep us from captivity

May our walls be strong, if we sing Your songs

If we sing Your praises all day long

May You raise the roads, all the old dry bones

Of this sun-burned city that we call our home

If we quickly come where injustice is done

If we spend ourselves for the ones You love

May we loose the chains, may we break the bonds

May we break our bread with the hungry ones

May we not pass by when the naked cry

For a coat or a quarter or a little bit of time

May our sons in youth be firm in their roots

May our daughters be pillars in the palace of truth

If we quickly come where injustice is done

If we spend ourselves for the ones You love
