The song calls for a response. Sitting in a coffee house far away from any substantial body of water, the prayer calls out as the song leader begins:
Grasping the rope powerful storm found within
Grasping the hope
your love covers all my sin
Patient we wait
at the ports where I heard you call
and the people sing:
your hope is an anchor
your peace is the water
your love is a lifeboat
Joyous as we come ashore
Ashore on the Front Range
It is an interesting prayer for the Front Range and it comes from a letter to the Hebrews - author unknown. The morning gathering awaits the sunrise that reflects on Pikes Peak. "If Greenpeace can have an office in Denver, then why not the Lord?" One man quips.
The hope set before us
the wind garners all the sails
The peace found in Jesus
the love that heals, our joy prevails
Your hope set before us
the anchor is Jesus
the Bridge over waters
come show us- come teach us
Awakening
This is the dawning of an age of awakening. Where Christians gather and pray for the city and regroup into pockets and use their work, their homes and their communities as vessels. This is a week where values are being forced on The Boy Scouts of America. Churches that hold and sponsor Pack and Den meetings are left wondering if the lines can be blurred this much, where can they draw the line on where the church stands and what the state can force the church to tolerate.
The singer sings:
your hope is an anchor
your peace is the water
your life is our life boat
as we come ashore
We worship you
we lift our hearts in praise
We worship you
we thank you for this day.
Giving our all
The anchor of hope should not be an island. Many believe that it is far from that and that it is the body working together to love God with all of our heart soul and mind and reaching out and loving our neighbors as we would like to be loved.
Our hope is an anchor
the hope that we hold
You are an anchor for our lives
an anchor safe and sure
The hope set before us
is living for Jesus
Entering through the veil
of stilled waters
Jesus go before us
a forerunner
a high priest on high seas
an anchor of hope for me.
The shadow is hidden
but you are still real
You break through the former
tearing the veil
The words once forbidden
"Your sins are forgiven"
Your hope is an anchor
your love never fails.
Rising up
The writer of the letter to the Hebrews is unknown but it is widely speculated to whom it could be. This is not lost on re- group international who continues to communicate, the message, mission and music of God the Father, Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit. "We are integrating the three to minister, lead and communicate the Gospel to our communities along the front Range," one of the leaders tells FREX. Discussed, walked, and sung, the sun reflected in purple mountain majesty. "A good way to start the end of the week," the coffee roasters says.
