Song Lyrics
The Mantle of Intercession
Verse 1:
Whispered prayers on the morning air,
Lifting burdens, carrying care.
With Jesus as our mediator true,
We stand in the gap, His work to do.
Chorus:
The mantle of intercession, worn with grace,
In the power of the Spirit, we find our place.
Called by Jesus, to plead and pray,
For the world, the lost, the stray.
Verse 2:
In the quiet corners of each day,
We bow our heads, we seek, we sway.
Empowered by Christ, with hearts aflame,
For each soul lost, He knows each name.
Chorus:
The mantle of intercession, worn with grace,
In the power of the Spirit, we find our place.
Called by Jesus, to plead and pray,
For the world, the lost, the stray.
Bridge:
Feel the heartbeat of the Father’s love,
Through the Spirit, sent from above.
As Jesus intercedes on high,
In His footsteps, we too shall try.
Chorus:
The mantle of intercession, worn with grace,
In the power of the Spirit, we find our place.
Called by Jesus, to plead and pray,
For the world, the lost, the stray.
Outro:
So let us rise, in the dawn’s first light,
With holy fervor, for this fight.
The mantle worn, with humble pride,
In Jesus’ name, we’ll turn the tide.
Pray for the grace and strength to carry the mantle of intercession with humility, persistence, and love. May you be clothed with the mantle of intercession, empowered by the Spirit, and known in heaven for your faithfulness in the secret place.Spiritual Engagement
