Song of Intercession (intro) Songtext
von William McDowell

It′s so important that we surrender
'Cause there are things on the heart of the Father
That we can′t even know until we posture ourselves
To surrender to what He wants
We've been deceived by the enemy
In the area of prayer

Because, specifically, I know this will go around the world
But specifically in America
The most financially prosperous nation on the earth
The enemy has deceived many parts of the church
By convincing us to continue to pray for our own needs
When we have everything we could possibly ever imagine

If we were to heed the words of Jesus, he said
"Take no thought of what you will eat
Or what you will drink, or what you will wear
For your Father knows that you have needed these things before you ask"


It goes on later to say
"Consider the lilies of the field, they neither toil nor spin
Yet Solomon, the richest man that ever lived
In all of his glory, was never arrayed like one of these
God knows what we have need of"

I wanna invite us to a new posture and understanding in prayer
Don't spend your faith on yourself
That′s lower-level prayer
How can we ever apprehend the heart of the Father for the nations
If we keep worrying about if He′ll pay our bills next month?

The nations are desperately in need of a church who will arise in power
And intercede on their behalf
That the Lord of Glory would intervene in the affairs of the earth
I just wonder if in this moment
There are some people who say, "Okay, I get it"
Maybe some of you for the first time

Posture yourself in the position in prayer
To apprehend God in a way that says
"Lord, this prayer, this cry
Is not about me, is not about my needs
Is not about my desires
It's about what You want
It′s about interceding for the nations"


Is there anyone in this room tonight
Who have enough faith to know that
Every one of your needs is taken care of?
It's time for us to intercede on behalf of the nations
It′s time for us to intercede on behalf of the nations
