[1760.16 --> 1761.10] in a time of extended
[1761.10 --> 1761.46] prayer
[1761.46 --> 1771.40] God we're not even sure
[1771.40 --> 1774.02] what it would look like
[1774.02 --> 1775.28] for your Spirit
[1775.28 --> 1776.74] to breathe life
[1776.74 --> 1777.56] in our church
[1777.56 --> 1780.06] we're cautious
[1780.06 --> 1782.30] we're fearful
[1782.30 --> 1785.20] and we really want
[1785.20 --> 1786.26] to stay in control

[1800.30 --> 1803.18] free to love
[1803.18 --> 1803.90] others

[1805.10 --> 1807.74] free to serve
[1807.74 --> 1808.86] in humility
[1808.86 --> 1812.26] Father we're tired
[1812.26 --> 1814.04] of living life
[1814.04 --> 1815.22] in our own strength
[1815.22 --> 1817.86] we're exhausted
[1817.86 --> 1819.50] by the temptations
[1819.50 --> 1820.94] that trip us up
[1820.94 --> 1822.08] every single day
[1822.08 --> 1824.40] we're tired
[1824.40 --> 1825.92] by trying
[1825.92 --> 1826.90] to be in control
[1826.90 --> 1827.94] of our lives
[1827.94 --> 1829.80] and Father
[1829.80 --> 1830.62] I ask that you
[1830.62 --> 1831.10] would give us
[1831.10 --> 1832.84] a deep hunger
[1832.84 --> 1833.82] for change
[1833.82 --> 1835.76] we ask that your
[1835.76 --> 1836.82] Spirit would give us
[1836.82 --> 1838.34] a profound desire
[1838.34 --> 1839.74] to let you
[1839.74 --> 1841.06] lead the way
[1841.06 --> 1843.06] and so I pray
[1843.06 --> 1843.48] again
[1843.48 --> 1844.84] come Holy Spirit
[1844.84 --> 1846.52] have your way
[1846.52 --> 1847.62] in our church
[1847.62 --> 1849.48] have your way
[1849.48 --> 1850.28] in our marriages
[1850.28 --> 1851.64] and our families
[1851.64 --> 1853.00] our shared
[1853.00 --> 1854.64] and private lives
[1854.64 --> 1856.82] hear our prayers
[1856.82 --> 1858.06] as we lift them up
[1858.06 --> 1858.62] to you now
[1858.62 --> 1868.16] to look arrested
[1868.16 --> 1869.04] a favor
[1869.04 --> 1869.46] for a psychiatric
[1869.46 --> 1869.86] sense
[1869.86 --> 1870.60] as we bring this
[1870.60 --> 1872.00] together
[1872.00 --> 1872.84] to keep us
[1872.84 --> 1874.84] inbuilt
