Prayer for Boldness
Steve Johnson, 1987
Time Signature: 4/4
Presentation V1 V2 C V3 V4 C B E

Verse 1
Father God, whom we seek first,
With a cross You killed a curse,
And from a grave death You destroyed,
And now to preach we are employed.

Verse 2
Opposing us You know the horde,
Who retreat when we say, “Lord!”
Violence, lies, discord and shame;
Satan hates and breeds the same.

Chorus
Why are all the nations raging,
Making the world cold?
We’ll SHOUT! louder than the Devil,
Lord, make us all bold!

Verse 3
Yet men scheme for all their worth,
Fighting our campaign for earth;
Destroy our fear of those who kill;
You know their threats,
we know Your will.

Verse 4
Consider now all threats and hate:
With love we retaliate;
Flood our veins with zeal for you.
God make many from a few.

Bridge
The demon’s reign makes our land cold;
Warm the world as was foretold;
Satan has souls in his hold,
Shake the world, make us all bold!

E
Why are all the nations raging,
Making the world cold?
We’ll SHOUT! louder than the Devil,
Lord, make us all bold!
Make us bold!
