Call Time

Call back timelessness 
Call back time
Call back the voice,
Not old ways
Not decadence
but decades
of cross centered change,
Call new vitality
new wine
from the oldest vine
planted deep
in soil, soul penetrating,
Calling, 
drawing rivers of life
to the surface.

Who can change nations?
My God!
Who can transform a culture?
My God!
Who can forever change a city ?
My God!

Call out to
Christchurch founded on Christ
rooted in 
Salvation and authority
Righteousness
peace and joy,
Call
the Church of Christ
to arise 
and stand renewed
on the cross 
centered in the city
revived in the vine.

Stand in the history of blessing
Step up into His light
Step with the Light
Stir in the Spirit 
Restoration and renewal…
Ōtautahi
Christchurch.

Starting Thoughts:
The history of Christchurch stands on a cross centered history of faith and revival from both Maori and European believers. Renewal starts with opening hearts across cultures and in respect and honour, standing on that history of blessing.

CAlling for revival from the history of Christchurch

Look Up

Look up
see soaring alps 
snow capped mountains moving
waving as the bridegroom 
comes close,
His spirit rolling 
revival ahead
of His steps,
See what he carries
a supernatural picnic feast
abundance from heaven's stores,
and He invites
the crowds, the churches
the people, 
To come and be held
gathered in His love,
united in His healing
people of the land
first, old and new
past and present 
Reconciled
to sit, relax
to enjoy his bounty,
His flavour, 
His favour, His compassion
draw in, gather in,
the party in the park
Pray in, pray in,
belief in his provision,
deepened in his love,
and he strikes
the ground 
living water
flows, bubbles out,

And the crowds 
dance on rivers
living streams
in their hearts,
On their lips,
one in the same river
braided life spreading
greening the Canterbury plains,
the house of Lord
Comes,
Invite one and all,
Run
Hearts to the house,
shout to the Lord
Your call, your breath
Exalt the one
Who holds futures
Who loves you,
city of Christ.

And then 
in awe 
we pause,
Our heart's pounding
watching the breath
Of our lungs rise
intermingling
We raise outstretched arms
Our hands in knowing,
here in this time,
One breath
anointed
One God, one spirit
But coloured in

The depth of who we are
In Him.
The vapour rises
Released, Spreading
Bourne on the 
jet streams of the Spirit
tracking across the Earth
Flowing free
a source of praise
Touching parched lips
With joy
from Christchurch 
ends of the Earth.

Praise to the one,
Praise of the Earth,
Extol the Lamb of God.

Ephesians 5 25-27

Prompt
A call for the church of Christ in Christchurch to unite as one to see revival.
