Tauranga CLP 2018 song lyrics
Sing the songs of faithful Zion
Rekindle the Gift
[Verse 1]
Keep the faith, be filled with joy
Be bold! Go forth! Carry on!
Fan into flame the gift we have
That we receive through the laying of hands
God did not give us a spirit of fear
But of power and love and a mind so clear
God saved and called us to be holy when He died
That’s given to us all from all time in Christ
[Chorus]
So rekindle! Rekindle the gift!
Fulfill your ministry and proclaim His word
Let’s rekindle, rekindle the gift!
For God is on our side, He will guide us with His light
[Verse 2]
Live in righteousness, teach with kindness
Be of no disgrace; be pursuers of His ways
With a solemn charge, put God in our hearts
Let us run the race ‘till we are home
Though we may suffer, we are not ashamed
For we all know that God is with us
Whether easy or not, stay on with the work
We will have the strength from God on High!
[Chorus]
So rekindle! Rekindle the gift!
Fulfill your ministry and proclaim His word
Let’s rekindle, rekindle the gift!
For God is on our side, He will guide us...
So rekindle! Rekindle the gift!
Fulfill your ministry and proclaim His word
Let’s rekindle, rekindle the gift!
For God is on our side, He will guide us with His light
Once no people
[Refrain]
For we are a chosen race
A royal priesthood, holy nation
Once no people, now God’s people
Proclaiming His marvelous light
[Verse 1]
We are the stars and the grain of sand
Through our faith we are made glorious
We are sons of Abraham
[Refrain]
For we are a chosen race
A royal priesthood, holy nation
Once no people, now God’s people
Proclaiming His marvelous light
[Verse 2]
Dance the steps of joyful Zion
Cymbals, harps and tambourines
Blow the trumpet, sound the glory
In the presence of the Lord
[Refrain]
For we are a chosen race
A royal priesthood, holy nation
Once no people, now God’s people
Proclaiming His marvelous light
[Verse 3:]
Taste the fruit of peaceful valleys
sip the wine and eat the bread
Know the shepherd who is guiding
Know the Lord, the Lamb of God
[Refrain]
For we are a chosen race
A royal priesthood, holy nation
Once no people, now God’s people
Proclaiming His marvelous light
[Verse 4]
We will serve through tribulation,
We will follow to the cross
Know the death and pain of suffering
God wipes the tears from our eyes
[Refrain] (end):
For we are a chosen race
A royal priesthood, holy nation
Once no people, now God’s people
Proclaiming His marvelous
Now God’s people, proclaiming His marvelous lights.
