Sentence Prayer

O Lord of Hosts, restore us. If Your face shine upon us, then we shall be safe. (Psalm 80:4)

Hear our prayer, O Lord, rouse Your power and come. We are in the dark, with no light to 

lead our way. We stumble and fall without Your beacon of peace to guide us.

O Lord of Hosts, restore us. If Your face shine upon us, then we shall be safe.

Lord, we beseech You to show yourself. Come to our aid, guide us in our despair, assist us 

to break free of the violence in our hearts, homes and communities.

O Lord of Hosts, restore us. If Your face shine upon us, then we shall be safe.  (http://dg-web.dcgary.org/youth/resources/violenceprayers.htm)

COMPLETELY

Snippet

It is natural…for us to trust in ourselves. It is so natural, and so 

confirmed by the habits of a lifetime, that no ordinary difficulties 

or perplexities avail to break us of it. It takes all God can do to 

root up our self-confidence. He must reduce us to despair; He 

must bring us to such an extremity that the one voice we have in 

our hearts, the one voice that cries to us wherever we look round 

for help, is death, death, death. It is out of this despair that the 

superhuman hope is born. It is out of this abject helplessness 

that the soul learns to look up with new trust to God… How do 

most of us attain to any faith in Providence? Is it not by proving, 

through numberless experiments, that it is not in man that 

walketh to direct his steps? Is it not by coming, again and again, 

to the limit of our resources, and being compelled to feel that 

unless there is a wisdom and a love at work on our behalf, 

immeasurably wiser and more benign than our own, life is a 

moral chaos?... Only desperation opens our eyes to God’s love.

James Denney

Scripture

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that 

you were cold or hot. 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and 

neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of My mouth. 

Because you say, ‘I'm rich; I have become wealthy and need 

nothing,' and you don't know that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, 

blind, and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the 

fire so that you may be rich, white clothes so that you may be 

dressed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, and 

ointment to spread on your eyes so that you may see. 19 As 

many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be committed and 

repent. Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My 

voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and have dinner 

with him, and he with Me. ” Revelation 3:15-20 HCSB

Among the Thirsty-Completely

http://youtu.be/sFC-d9PTusw

I’m feeling so small

Standing here weeping

As I'm coming clean

Of the secrets I'm keeping

I've caused so much pain

To the ones I love the most

And I'm falling apart

As I carry my heart to Your throne

I am completely surrendering

Finally giving You everything

You're my redeemer, I run to the cross

Because You are more than enough

Lord complete me

Cause I'm Yours completely

I'm letting go

There's nothing I own

The treasures I held

Just weighed down my soul

And there's nothing left

Inside of me

But a longing for You

And a longing to be the man that You need

I am completely surrendering

Finally giving You everything

You're my redeemer, I run to the cross

Because You are more than enough

Lord complete me

Cause I'm Yours completely

I let Your gifts take the place of you

But You pulled up my selfishness from it's roots

I am a broken and fragile me

But I'm where You want me to be

I am completely surrendering

Finally giving You everything

You're my redeemer, I run to the cross

Because You are more than enough

Lord complete me

Cause I'm Yours completely

Lord complete me

Cause I'm Yours completely

Sentence Prayer

Loving Father, I surrender to You today with all my heart and 

soul.  Please come into my heart in a deeper way.  I say “Yes” to 

You today.  I open all the secret places in my heart to you and 

say, “Come on in.”  Jesus, You are Lord of my whole life.  I 

believe in You and receive You as my Lord and Savior.  I hold 

nothing back.  Holy Spirit, bring me deeper conversion to the 

person of Jesus Christ.  I surrender all to you: my health, my 

family, my resources, occupation, skills, relationships, time 

management, successes and failures.  I release it, and let it go.  I 

surrender my understanding of how things out to be; my choices 

and my will.  I surrender to You the promises I have kept and the 

promises I have failed to keep.  I surrender my weaknesses and 

strengths to You.  I surrender my emotions, my fears, my 

insecurities, my everything.  I surrender _____________, 

______________________, _______________________, 

_____________________. (Continue to surrender other areas as 

the Holy Spirit reveals them to you).  Lord, I surrender my entire 

life to You, the past, the present and the future.  In sickness and 

in health, in life and in death, I belong to You.

“Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my 

understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess.  

You have given all of me.  To you, O Lord, and I return it.  All is 

Yours.  Dispose of it wholly according to Your will.  Give me Your 

Love and Your grace, for this is sufficient for me.” Amen

Brother moon

Shine down your light on us tonight

Show us the love of God

Sister sun you bring out the day

You're shining the light of God on your face today

Maker of it all

You provide it all

In You we live

In You we move

In You we have our being

You're glorious

You're holding us together all together

Brother wind your clouds and your storms

You're breathing the breath of God in your lungs for us

Mother earth, you're giving us life with God's open hand 

you always provide

For us

Maker of it all

You provide it all

In You we live

In You we move

In You we have our being

You're glorious

You're holding us together all together

You are everything good, you are everything beautiful

You are everything, you're everything 

Sentence Prayer

Father, 

The bible tells us

You looked on all that you made

And saw it was good.

But we have been too willing

To squander the riches of creation.

We have laid the ax to the mighty forests

Despoiled the green hillsides

Wasted earth’s mineral wealth.  

We have fouled the air

Littered the countryside

And polluted the streams and oceans.

Voices are raised

To stop us from squandering our patrimony.

May we heed them in time so that one day

We can look on the planet you have give us

And say with pride, once again.

“Behold, it is good.”

Amen

Traitor

“For there to be betrayal, there would have to have been trust 

first.” ― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

Scripture

“I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But 

this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my 

bread has turned[a] against me.’

 “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does 

happen you will believe that I am who I am. Very truly I tell you, 

whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts 

me accepts the one who sent me.” After he had said this, Jesus 

was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of 

you is going to betray me.” John 13:18-21

Pull your window down

Tinted glass is hiding your eyes

It's your favorite disguise

You don’t make a sound

While you’re taking me for a ride

Holding secrets inside

Traitor, this is my life

I'm too strong to lie down next to a mastermind

Traitor, every time

I’ll no longer keep you a friend of mine

Tell me once again

How’d you build a kingdom of trust?

It's beginning to rust

And where have you been?

Promises were never enough

They collect in the dust

Traitor, this is my life

I'm too strong to lie down next to a mastermind

Traitor, every time

I’ll no longer keep you a friend of mine

Traitor, this is my life

I'm too strong to lie down next to a mastermind

Traitor, every time

I’ll no longer keep you a friend of mine end of lyrics

Your friend Judas betrayed you;  It was not Your Father.

FRIENDS

Snippet

“Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; 

I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” ― 

Albert Camus

Scripture

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s 

friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer 

call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s 

business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I 

learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did 

not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you 

might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever 

you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my 

command: Love each other. John 15:12-17 NIV

What Susan Said Rich Mullins

http://youtu.be/CUEM2sFnGg4

Two lonely-eyed boys in a pick-up truck 

And they're drivin' through the rain and the heat 

And their skin's so sweaty they both get stuck 

To the old black vinyl seats 

And it's Abbott and Costello meet Paul and Silas 

It's the two of us together and we're puttin' on the mileage 

And we both feel lost 

But I remember what Susan said 

How love is found in the things we've given up 

More than in the things that we have kept 

And ain't it funny what people say 

And ain't it funny what people write 

And ain't it funny how it hits you so hard 

In the middle of the night 

And if your home is just another place where you're a stranger 

And far away is just somewhere you've never been 

I hope that you'll remember, I was your friend 

Two full grown men in a huddle of kids 

And they're trying to help them to believe 

What is too good to be real 

But is more real than the air they breathe 

And it's Wally and the Beaver, David and Jonathan 

It's the Love of Jesus puttin' on flesh and bone 

And we both feel lost 

But I remember what Susan said 

How love is found in the things we've given up 

More than in the things that we have kept 

And ain't it funny what people say 

And ain't it funny what people write 

And ain't it funny how it hits you so hard 

In the middle of the night 

And I remember what Susan said 

Sentence Prayer

Lord, I’m Your follower, but also your friend.  Help me see more 

clearly how to be a good friend by doing what you ask of me.  My 

life is a gift from you, and I want to invest it to the best of my 

ability in doing the work to work you have called me.

I thank You that your commands are not constraining but freeing.  

In friendship with you, and in obedience to you, I find true joy.

Lord Jesus, I thank you for inviting me to be Your friend.  Amen

Love Story

Snippet

They follow Jesus, just not with every area of their lives.  In the 

book UnChristian, Barna research reported that 65 percent of 

18-42 year olds in America have “made a personal commitment 

to Jesus that is still important.”  On the surface that seems 

really encouraging.  But how many of those are followers?  

Because, their research also showed that only 23 Percent of those 

people believed that sex outside of marriage is wrong.  Only 13 

percent said getting drunk is a sin.  And the list goes 

on.  In other words, 65 percent say they are committed to Jesus, 

but most of them aren’t committed Jesus in every area of their 

life.  Not a Fan Kyle Idelman Zondervan 2011 pg 146

Scripture

Drink water from your own cistern,

    running water from your own well.

Should your springs overflow in the streets,

    your streams of water in the public squares?

Let them be yours alone,

    never to be shared with strangers.

May your fountain be blessed,

    and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

A loving doe, a graceful deer—

    may her breasts satisfy you always,

    may you ever be intoxicated with her love.

Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?

    Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?

For your ways are in full view of the Lord,

    and he examines all your paths.

The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;

    the cords of their sins hold them fast.

For lack of discipline they will die,

    led astray by their own great folly. Proverbs 5:15-23 NIV

Jin –Love Story Lyrics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6wHIstoAuM

It's from the heart..

It's from the heart right here.. (yeah)

Everybody has a story to tell..

Check this out though

[Verse One]

I knew this chinese dude in Junior High

Part of my crew, everybody knew the kid

He was the talk of the school, intelligent

And well spoken, respected by teachers

All the other students kept their eyes on his sneakers

What can I say? You can tell he's cool if you talk with him

During fire drills girls would wanna walk with him

He could have any chick up in his view

But there was only one girl he wanted to call boo

See its all true, found himself stressed in a dead end

The girl he was feelin was obsessed with his bestfriend

His bestfriends a playa, thats the reason he's pissed

Plus he treat her like she don't even exist

He ain't tryna hate on his man, but there was no help in it

Wrote the girl a letter told her how he felt in it

She was shocked at first of him revealing the truth

Till she realized that she was feelin him too

[Hook: Aja Smith]

Ohhh..

I've been thinking of you

Ohhh..

I've been thinking of you

Ohhh..

I've been thinking of you

Ohhh..

I've been thinking of you

And you've been thinkin of me

Ohhh..

Uh

So you know as time goes by

Things get a little bit serious

Just listen

[Verse Two]

It was strictly hip hop, now they bumpin slow jams all day

Went from holding hands, to makin out in the hallway

Their relationship, seemed like a dream come true

As time went by their friendship grew

Staring at the stars, trading secrets on the phone

When her parents were at work, she would sneak him in her room

He told her he was a virgin the day that they met

So on his birthday he got a gift he'll never forget

Females were jealous, but they still calling him cute

First day of summer school, they rocked the matching 

nautica suits

Happy in each others arms, can it be

They found true love, living in a fantasy

Then reality attacks, his pops couldn't see past the fact

His son was asian, but his girlfriend was black

Imagine having to choose between the one that you 

love or your fam

Thats like cutting off your right or left hand, damn

[Hook]

Uh huh, yeah

I know this sounds like a true story

Coulda happened to any one of us

It's crazy though right?

[Verse Three]

Now if this sounds like a true story

That's probably cause it is

And I know for a fact cause I'm that chinese kid

Mm, lookin back now, I know its more than just a crush

I'm sayin the whole expierience taught me so much

Love can overcome anything that gets in its way

Thats reason I still think of shorty 'til this day

We talk now and then, she's doin her thing

We both full grown up, I think she rockin a ring

I know she's proud of me and all the things I've accomplished

She was there when I was nobody, that's being honest

Ain't no shame, I'll admit it she was there when I cried

So in return I wipe the tears from her eyes

As far as my pops, he's a little more open minded

If his son is happy, hes 100% behind it

Now this is a song I know I had to do

Cause all the stuff I went through might have happened to you

[Hook]

Ohhh..

Uh, yeah

Everybody remembers their first love

You only get one

So you gotta remember

Yeah

Uh

I just wanted you to know

Jin's still thinkin about you

I know you've been thinkin' about me too

Sentence Prayer

Father;

Create in me a pure heart

That only loves you and your ways

Expose my hypocrisy, so I have

A clear choice of an obedient love.

Amen

Crave King & Country

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYq55gv-H2o

Hope sleeps without me

Her sweet dreams surround me,

But I'm left out

I'll need a fix now

To believe, to feel

These rooms are dark now

These halls are hollow,

And so am I

She is hard to find now

To believe

To see

Hope is what we crave, and that will never change

So I stand and wait

I need a drop of grace to carry me today,

A simple song to say

It's written on my soul:

Hope's what we crave

I won't turn to dust now

Let these tears rust now on my face

Give me the spark now

To believe

To see

Hope is what we crave, and that will never change

So I stand and wait

I need a drop of grace to carry me today,

A simple song to say

It's written on my soul:

Hope's what we crave

To live, to die,

To lose, to get,

To rise above

To love again

To live, to die,

To lose, to get,

To rise above

To love again

To love again

Hope is what we crave, and that will never change

So I stand and wait

I need a drop of grace to carry me today,

A simple song to say

Hope is what we crave

I need a drop of grace

It's written on my soul:

Hope's what we crave

It's written on my soul:

Hope's what we crave

Hope's what we crave

Hope's what I crave

Sentence Prayer

Heavenly father, I am your humble servant, I come before you 

today in need of hope. There are times when I fell helpless, There 

are times when I feel weak. I pray for hope. I need hope for a 

better future. I need hope for a better life. I need hope for love 

and kindness.

Some say that the sky is at it's darkest just before the light. I 

pray that this is true, for all seems dark. I need your light, Lord, 

in every way.

I pray to be filled with your light from head to toe. To bask in 

your glory. To know that all is right in the world, as you have 

planned, and as you want it to be.

Help me to walk in your light, and live my life in faith and glory.

In your name I pray, Amen. (http://www.prayers-for-special-help.com/prayer-for-hope.html)
