THEME: The kingdom of God has been a common thread of truth for thousands of years now. And until Jesus returns, the Spirit will keep calling new generations to himself. And this promise gives us great hope for our children.
VERSE 1
The God who makes creation bloom
Who formed us in our mother's womb
Is calling us to walk with him in the light of truth
Like streams upon the thirsty land
The Spirit at the Lord's command
Is searching out our children's hearts
Seeking restless youth
This promise of the Lord is ours to claim
Our sons and daughters calling on his name
CHORUS
We long to see the next generation that says
"I BELONG TO THE LORD!"
Make us to be a people who triumph
Though tested by fire and sword
We want to be wholeheartedly - YOURS!
In your control, body and soul - YOURS!
VERSE 2
Through darkest night till break of dawn
Your faithfulness continues on
A generation yet unborn will proclaim your praise
And so the faith is passed along
As millions sing salvation's song
The Spirit filled with sacred fire sets the Church ablaze
This promise of the Lord is ours to claim
Our sons and daughters calling upon his name
BRIDGE
We've been bought with a price
We're no longer our own
Spirit speak, give us hearts to obey
Saying "NO" to the world
Saying "YES" to your will
Give us faith to be strong every day
