Click here to worship with Selah's Wonderful, Merciful Savior

Wonderful, merciful Saviour
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would've thought that a Lamb could
Rescue the souls of men
Oh, You rescue the souls of men

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost our way
Oh, we've hopelessly lost the way

You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for

Oh, our hearts always hunger for

Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne

Lord, it's days like these that make us remember how much we need a Savior.
A wonderful, merciful one. A friend. A counselor. A Comforter.
Because we have hopelessly lost our way.

But because we know You are good, we can come boldly to Your throne. The throne of grace.
And there we can pour out our hearts, and bring to You our needs.

Lord we pray for unity. We pray for humility, as that is the first step. So Lord, break our pride. Humble us before You.

We pray for unity in our marriages. Lord, bring Your peace and be the grace in our families. May deployments be a time of strengthening the bond.
We pray for unity in our military community. Not just live-and-let-live, but bearing the burdens with our brothers and sisters.
We pray for unity in our chapels. Thank You for this unique, denomination-less opportunity. Help us to continue to grow together and shine Your light. Help us to be the example.
We pray for unity in our country. Lord, it does seem hopeless. Without You, we only find more ways to hurt each other. But with You...changing hearts...what an amazing thing that could be.

And so we pray for an outpouring on You on our nation. Lord, please bring revival to America. Please give us more of You.

We pray for unity for our leaders, including the Chief of Chaplains' office. May our leaders always have the people in mind, and not be selfish. We pray for unity amongst our pastors across this land. May they lead the movement, show the way to You.

We pray for our veterans. May they see their continued purpose in You. May the time of peace bring peace in their hearts through finding You.

Father God we pray for healing for our loved ones. Please be with the parents we can't be with. Please touch the young man with bleeding from Krohn's. Please continue to strengthen the new little ones. Please encourage the mommas living in chronic pain. 

Lord we know there will not be peace on this earth until You come. How good to know it is coming though, and we can trust in You to fulfill Your promises. You are the One we long for.
