Build your kingdom here. How cool is that thought? That wherever I am, there God is also. And I have the privilege to be used by him. He has invited me and you, into an amazing opportunity. The GOD OF THE UNIVERSE can use me, to do his work and make his name glorified all over the world and right where I am.
The first song I ever heard by Rend Collective was Build Your Kingdom Here. In the three years to follow, Rend Collective have become my favorite Christian artists. The lyrics in every song, especially this one, have such a tangible aspect in allowing the kingdom of God to be proclaimed. Rends music never fails to bring great joy and such a fun spirit to any situation and scenario. These lyrics just speak for themselves…
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 kingdom’s power
Reaching the near and far
No force of hell can stop
Your Beauty changes 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
What if we allowed this song to reign true in our lives? What if we made the radical decision to make this our prayer every morning? What if we had the courage to boldly approach ministry with this perspective? Lives all around us, including our own, would begin to be radically changed.
Now go and listen to this song! Google it, Spotify it, Apple music it…. it doesn’t matter how you listen, just do it!
Yours in Christ, Cara
