Disappointment!

After Tuesday's election I must say I am very disappointed. Our county now has liquor by the drink. It passed by a little over 200 votes. The biggest disappointment comes from knowing that there were Christians who voted for it and some who didn't vote at all which is just the same as voting for it. When will God's people wake up? I think the words of this Casting Crown song really say what I want to say. If Christians began being Christians we could make a great impact. Blessings! ~ Nikki

What If His People Prayed Lyrics

Casting Crowns What If His People Prayed Lyrics

What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captive free
And not let satan have one more


What if the Church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates


Chorus I:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face, yeah
And turn from their own ways


And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day


What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do


Chorus I:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face yeah
And turn from their own way
Chorus II:
He said that He would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear, yeah
If only we would pray


Bridge:
If My people call by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people call by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray


Choruses:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face, yeah
And turn from their old ways
He said that He would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear yeaah
If only we would pray


(Choruses and bridge ad lib)

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.


Songwriters: Hall, Mark; Chapman, Steven Curtis;

  1. Here in Kentucky, the same thing happened a couple or so years ago. Christians voted to have liquor to be sold in restaraunts on Sunday. It broke my heart to see God's people not standing up for Him. That just made me all the more determined to stand for Him regardless of the flack I get! By the way, that is one of my favorite songs!

  2. That is disappointing. Liquor by the drink was still voted down in our county and the counties around me, but the margin of votes is getting slimmer and slimmer over the years.
