Worship with Fernando Ortega and Mac Powell by clicking here

Eternal God, Unchanging, Mysterious and unknown.
Your boundless love unfailing, In grace and mercy shown.
Bright seraphim in endless flight around your glorious throne.
They raise their voices day and night in praise to you alone.

Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God! 
Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God! 

Lord, We are weak and frail, Helpless in the storm.
Surround us with your angels, Hold us in your arms.
Our cold and ruthless enemy, his pleasure is our harm.
Rise up, O Lord, And he will flee before our Sovereign God.

Let every creature in the sea and every flying bird; 
Let every mountain, Every field and valley of the earth; 
Let all the moons and all the stars in all the universe
Sing praises to the Living God, Who rules them by His word.

Father, God, Lord of the Heavenly Armies, Master of the Universe,
Creator of all things seen and unseen,
and still You love us. And know every detail.

Help us to see the true battle Lord. God we pray for Your help in this spiritual battle.
We cannot win the war without You. We cannot even see the enemy. Help us to see as You see and not attack each other or the victims.

Lord we pray for Your warriors--the Church. We pray for the military chapels. Lord, may they be on the frontline of the battles, saving souls. May we be the hospital for the hurting Christians. May we be the encouraging huddle before we head out for the week.

We pray for the choices of messages and curriculums. Guide the leaders Lord. May we be true to Your Word and get in Your Word.
We pray for schedules to be cleared and consciences to be pricked so people can come.
We pray for joy and patience for our children's teachers.
We pray for a welcoming spirit.
We pray for our chaplains, but we also pray we would be not just relying on them. We pray for their integrity. We pray for their renewal of vision. We pray for the Chief of Chaplains, all the way to the youngest Chaplain Assistant.
Lord, hear our worship, whether it is a handful singing acapella or gym full with a band. May it be pleasing to You.
God please help us to have unity. Help us to be following You, celebrating the differences You have given us and yet all pulling towards You.

We pray for our PWOCs and small groups. May the leaders have wisdom and joy in their work.
Lord, we pray for child care for all of our services. Help us to lead our little ones to You with exemplifying sacrifice to serve them. Help them to learn to worship in our services.

We pray for the deployed with their worship services in hangars, on ships, in tents. May You be very real to them.
We pray for our veterans. May they be surrounded with Your people and thwarted from the spirit of suicide.

Lord may we be a loving people. May we be a caring people. May we be shining You. May we help draw all to You.

For Your glory, Lord! Boundless, beautiful, unending glory--
