Rend Collective’s (formerly Rend Collective Experiment) Build Your Kingdom Here is one of their songs that is currently on our radar.
The lyrics:
Verse 1:
Come, set Your rule and reign,
In our hearts again,
Increase in us we pray,
Unveil why we’re made.
Come, set our hearts ablaze with hope,
Like wildfire in our very souls,
Holy Spirit come invade us now.
We are Your church,
We need Your pow’r in us.
Verse 2:
We seek Your kingdom first,
We hunger and we thirst,
Refuse to waste our lives,
For You’re our joy and prize.
To see the captive hearts released,
The hurt, the sick, the poor at peace;
We lay down our lives for heaven’s cause,
We are Your church,
We pray: ‘revive this earth.’
Chorus:
Build Your Kingdom here
Let the darkness fear;
Show Your mighty hand,
Heal our streets and land.
Set Your church on fire,
Win this nation back;
Change the atmosphere,
Build Your kingdom here
We pray.
Verse 3:
Unleash Your kingdom’s power
Reaching the near and far
No force of hell can stop
Your beauty changing hearts
You made us for much more than this
Awake the kingdom seed in us
Fill us with the strength and love of Christ
We are Your church
We are the hope
