The Vision of You

Last week Sara and I spent time with friends at a Shane and Shane Concert. The Shanes were performing their new cd "Pages". They began their set with a song of prayer called "The Vision of You". As they sang, my heart wanted to leap from my chest and I wanted to shout, "Yeah!" As the prayer continued I felt God affirming me in the vision of FSM and 274. "may the vision of you be the death of me" rang in my soul as the battle cry of 274. Revolution is here! Students will stand for truth as they defend the defensless, serve the poor, and love the broken. Take a moment to pray these lyrics to God. Let him call you out through them. Get excited that God is singing the same song through so many people from so many different places.


Come meet us, King Jesus.
Oh wind of change blow through this temple.
Sweet spirit of God, come and mend our hearts.
For all we have are songs. Unless you come.

Awaken what's inside of me.
Tune my heart to all You are in me.
Even though you're here, God come.
May the vision of You be the death of me.
and even though You've given everything.
Jesus come!

Come free us, King Jesus.
Its the only way that freedom is given.
From you and you alone in the work You've already done.
All we have are songs, unless You come.

Awaken what's inside of me.
Tune my heart to all You are in me.
Even though you're here, God come.
May the vision of You be the death of me.
and even though You've given everything.
Jesus come!

Here we are, Lord, in this place.
Crying out for Your embrace.
To hear Your voice more than songs.

Awaken what's inside of me.
Tune my heart to all You are in me.
Even though you're here, God come.
May the vision of You be the death of me.
and even though You've given everything.
Jesus come!
