Seekers For Seekers Prayer, by DianaDee Osborne

SEEKERS  FOR  SEEKERS  PRAYER
ALBUM:      Amazing Holy Spirit 'n' Church  
Song location  http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php
Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:   Often I have a “plotted” music outline in my journal that I just type into the computer music sheet like this, but change the words slightly to match the timing or “feel” of the music I compose in my home studio.  And sometimes I write a new verse “as I type” the music sheet.
    That's what happened with this song's verse 3... I just typed as I thought of words, and when I was finished, I looked at lines 2k through 2n  and spoke a silent, awed “WOW!” prayer-of-sorts to LORD God.     His Words, not my "skill".

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:   FROM A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN'S STANDPOINT--
    The 3  parts of this song have VERY different tones and  don't belong together.
YET...  like our God-in-Three  Who reaches out to us in so many ways... somehow the parts fit.   The  “Somehow”   being, I know WITHOUT any doubt,  being  the  “God - is - How.”
Dedicated to our Seeking Lord,  31 December 2011

LYRICS
PART 1     (slowly, prayer-filled-ly)
1
Lord, You hear this URGENT prayer:  Please
Give me THE right words........ 

to help Your people seeking... who
DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY SEARCH!
SO much pain in their hearts,
    Oh, dear God, how they hurt!
    hopelessly, how they search..... for
WHAT-ever might stop..... their hurts.


Interlude between Verses 1 and 2  for scriptures
Deuteronomy 4:29's promise from God: “... you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find [Him] if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Jesus in Luke 19: 10 and Matthew 28: 19  “The Son of Man has come to seek & to save that which was lost."  'Go ...make disciples of all the nations.... teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you....”

2
Lord, Your Church comes in URGENT prayer:  Please
Give US Your Church   right words........ to help Your people seeking... who
DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY SEARCH!
SO much pain in their hearts,
    Oh, dear God, how they hurt!
    WE'RE HERE, LORD,  use this church.... for
WHAT-ever YOU want,  we are HERE.


PART 2    (FAST!  Excited!   Joy-filled!!!)

Jesus is the answer, but they don't even know the question.
Jesus sent US Christians to be SEEKERS helping the SEEKERS.
Matthew 28: 19  -- God use US to reach Your World.  But we
need Your spirit's strength and wisdom.
    Empower US, Your Church.  We pray Ephesians 3  words.

Jesus is their  answer to survive the hurts they feel.
Jesus is their ONLY WAY to life forever with Him.
Matthew 28: 19  -- God use US to reach Your World.  But we
need Your spirit's strength and wisdom.

    Empower US, Your Church.  We pray Ephesians 3  words.
 

PART 3   (old hymn, adapted lyrics)
Christ  For  The  World,    we BRING! 

To God's own power and help, we cling  

 As God's ONE Church.
We'll bring the HOPE of Christ,
We're glad to sacrifice!    our time, our prayers, UNITE:   
God, help our church      to spread You Word 
    throughout Your World........
