Tune Tuesday: Build Your Kingdom Here!

I love the lyrics to this song. Frankly, it's the prayer of my heart. I get choked up singing it.

Lest the video surprise you...open your minds and read up on Rend Collective's Irish heritage...
Here's the write up to help you understand their thoughts in the creative process:

Filmed on location in Ireland in Rend Collective’s unique style, this ambitious video is a carnival of color, diversity and energy. It encapsulates everything from a duo of fire-breathers to a fully uniformed military brass section, from a pair of stilt-walking jugglers to a live horse, and more. Rend Collective’s now trademark expression of joy and vitality is once again displayed with kaleidoscopic visuals while simultaneously reflecting a poignant message for the church. 

 “We wanted to communicate something of the truth that the Kingdom of God is an inclusive, welcoming and diverse community - there are no outsiders; we are the church,” says Rend Collective vocalist Chris Llewellyn. “It’s significant politically for us that the video is filmed half in the North and half in the South of Ireland, given our history of conflict. We think it’s a beautiful picture of unity.” 

Here are the lyrics:

Come set Your rule and reign 

In our hearts again 

Increase in us we pray  

Unveil why we're made  

Come set our hearts ablaze with hope  

Like wildfire in our very souls  

Holy Spirit come invade us now  

We are Your Church  

We need Your power 

In us

We seek Your kingdom first  

We hunger and we thirst  

Refuse to waste our lives 

For You're our joy and prize  

To see the captive hearts released 

The hurt, the sick, the poor at peace  

We lay down our lives for heaven's cause  

We are Your church  

We pray revive 

This earth

Build Your kingdom here  

Let the darkness fear  

Show Your mighty hand  

Heal our streets and land  

Set Your church on fire  

Win this nation back  

Change the atmosphere  

Build Your kingdom here  

We pray

Unleash Your kingdoms power  

Reaching the near and far  

No force of hell can stop  

Your beauty changing hearts  

You made us for much more than this  

Awake the kingdom seed in us 

Fill us with the strength and love of Christ  

We are Your church  

We are the hope 

On earth
