With Everything We will Shout fourth your Praise...

Open our eyes,
To see the things
That make Your heart cry,
To be the church
The You would desire

Your Light to be seen.

Break down our pride,
And all the walls
We've built up inside,
Our earthly crowns
And all our desires,
We lay them at Your feet.

So let hope rise,
And darkness tremble
In Your holy light,
And every eye will see
Jesus, our God,
Great and mighty to be praised.

God of all days,
Glorious in all of Your ways.
Your majesty, the wonder and grace,
In the light of Your name.

With everything,
With everything,
We will shout for your glory.

With everything,
With everything,
We will shout forth your praise.

Our hearts, they cry
Be glorified,
Be lifted high,
Above all names.
For You our King,
With everything,
We will shout forth your praise 

This is the cry for a generation that wants to encounter something real. We are sick of the feeling of fake satisfaction that the world has to offer. Somewhere within our hearts, something is fighting to come to the surface- a desire for something more, for something real. A desire that screams "There has to be more to this life than just waking up to the same situations and the same problems every single day. Something has to change. Something has to come alive."

Awaken our hearts, God. We're here for you. Awaken the hearts of the students of Oakland High School. Awaken the hearts of this generation, across America, and across the World. 

Open our eyes to see who you are, and open our ears to hear you calling us to rise up and take our place as leaders. 

This is huge. 

What God is doing in our generation is so huge. 

They say that we are a selfish, lost, blind and hopeless generation. They say that it isn't like old times, and that it will get worse, and that there is no hope for us. That is a lie from the pit of hell. There is no such thing. Hopelessness does not exist and it never will, because Jesus Christ took hopelessness on the cross with him along with our sin and sickness. This is a generation that he's called to love and to holiness. This is a generation that belongs to Jesus, because He responds to our desperate cry for help. He responds because he loves us and he wants to be with us for eternity.
