There’s a song we will sing on Sunday that you know well. We sing it from time to time as a prayer of illumination before the sermon. It’s a song to help us ask God for ears to hear and hears to love what he has said in his Word.<\/p>\n
What you might not know is that Drew and some of DSC’s musicians recorded this song and it’s available for download here<\/a>. Name your price and it’s yours.<\/p>\n Here are the words:<\/p>\n Lord, We Come to Hear Your Word<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Lord, we come to hear Your Word; We confess, our thoughts have strayed; 2. Lord, as we prepare to hear, We confess, without Your grace, 3. Lord, we lift up to Your care For Your Word, O Lord, we yearn; Words: Kenneth A Puls, \u00c2\u00a91998, Music: Drew Hodge<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Of course, these are perfect words to sing before the sermon, but they are also words for us to pray and sing every day. Visit the\u00c2\u00a0DSC Store<\/a> and Bandcamp Page<\/a> for a number of other songs and albums recorded at DSC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\nShine Your light!\u00c2\u00a0Unsheathe Your sword!
\nSend Your Spirit forth in pow’r;
\nCome and bless Your church this hour.<\/p>\n
\nMinds distracted and dismayed;
\nOn the Son, fix now each thought;
\nHelp us worship as we ought.<\/p>\n
\nwake each soul, unstop each ear;
\nConquer every stubborn heart;
\nMercy, saving grace impart.<\/p>\n
\nvain our efforts in this place;
\nSend illumination’s light;
\nOpen eyes and give us sight.<\/p>\n
\nhim who stands now to declare
\ntruth that teaches, warns, consoles;
\nBless this feast to feed our souls.<\/p>\n
\nEmpty, let it not return;
\nCome, accomplish all Your will;
\nDraw, convict, give life, and fill.<\/p>\n
