To prepare our hearts for Resurrection Day, we spent one Bible class last week in specific song and praise together. Each group chose a song that they felt would help us focus on our Redeemer, and they also chose a theme for their prayers.

Group one chose “I Need You” by Jet Trouble.

“God, please help remind me of the things I cannot see,
When I’m broken down, defeated, believing lies from the enemy.
God, please help remind me of the day death lost its sting,
That I know You have a plan in the midst of suffering.”

They chose the theme of blessings as they led us in prayer.

Group two chose “Demons” by Josiah Queen.

“And I won’t buy those lies.
They can’t take control over this life of mine.
I’ve been fully ransomed by the blood of Christ.
Darkness has to leave up in this light, oh.”

They chose the theme of salvation for their prayers of thanks.

Group three chose “Thankful” by Forrest Frank.

“Today I’ve got so much to be thankful for.
I woke up this morning thinking, ‘Thank You, Lord.’
For giving me everything I could ever need and more,
I’ve got so much to be thankful for.”

Of course, their prayer theme was thankfulness.

Group four chose “Mighty Fortress” by Martin Luther.

“Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God’s own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same;
and he must win the battle.”

Each other was their prayer theme.

I wish every single one of you parents and grandparents could have been in our room during this Bible time. It was powerful and beautiful. All I could think the whole time was, “Thank You, Lord, for these families, for these children.”
