See our prayers rise before the throne
Prayers for justice to be done
Listen as each trumpet is blown
Behold now justice has come
So let us pray, And let us trust
In the face of wickedness
See the cru-el-ty of evil
The hatred of wickedness
Behold the stubborn refusal
To repent of sinfulness
Flee temptation, Praise our Savior
Proclaim good news while we can
To the tune of “Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending”

Verses for Further Reflection
Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel
and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
“I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.
– Isaiah 44:6
“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
– Isaiah 45:22
Remember this and stand firm,
recall it to mind, you transgressors,
remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me,
declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, “My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all my purpose.”
– Isaiah 46:8-10

God’s servants are sealed as His own
And protected in His sight
Standing before the Father’s throne
Clothed in blood-washed robes of white
We will praise Him, We will serve Him
We are the servants of God
In His presence God will shelter
From all harm and ev’ry fear
Guide us to the living water
Wipe away our ev’ry tear
What a delight, What a great joy
To be the servants of God
To the tune of “Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending”
