Let Your Kingdom Come

Just wanted to share a song that we sung at the Student Life missionary conference I attended last month. We sung it after the last talk where the speaker Ken Cochrum spoke about God's amazing plan and reminded us how even though He didn't have to, He chose to involve us in this plan. A powerful reminder for me was also when Ken spoke about how so many of the well-known Christians in history were called and used greatly by God before the age of 30. When Ken asked those 30 and under to stand up it was so humbling too to be reminded of God choosing to involve me in His plan despite being young and inexperienced.

But regardless of where we are, called to the mission field or not, this song is really a prayer for any believer, that His kingdom come and that we are used by Him to see this fulfilled.



Let Your Kingdom Come

Words and music by Bob Kauflin
As recorded on Valley of Vision

Your glorious cause, O God, engages our hearts
May Jesus Christ be known wherever we are
We ask not for ourselves, but for Your renown
The cross has saved us so we pray
Your kingdom come

Let Your kingdom come
Let Your will be done
So that everyone might know Your Name
Let Your song be heard everywhere on earth
Till Your sovereign work on earth is done
Let Your kingdom come

Give us Your strength, O God, and courage to speak
Perform Your wondrous deeds through those who are weak
Lord use us as You want, whatever the test
By grace we’ll preach Your gospel
Till our dying breath
