Disturb Us Lord
Prayer by Sir Francis Drake
Sir Francis Drake, famous sea captain was the author of the words in this post

Disturb Us, Lord, a prayer written in the 15th century by the famous sea captain and explorer Sir Francis Drake, is a striking appeal to God! Centuries later a wonderful song has been written and recorded also entitled Disturb Us Lord. They both remind me of how I can get off course in life and become distant from God. Sometmes I need to be disturbed and reawakened.

I urge you to first read the prayer, written in 1577 by Drake, who is famous for circumnavigating the globe. Read his appeal slowly. Then read the lyrics to the Disturb Us Lord Song. Contemplate Drakes timeless sentiments and those of the modern song

Ask God To Open Your Heart And Mind To The Message These Words May Hold For You.
What is true for your life? Ask God for His wisdom and discernment.
POEM by Sir Francis Drake
Disturb us, Lord, when

We are too pleased with ourselves,

When our dreams have come true

Because we dreamed too little,

When we arrived safely

Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when

with the abundance of things we possess

We have lost our thirst

For the waters of life;

Having fallen in love with life,

We have ceased to dream of eternity

And in our efforts to build a new earth,

We have allowed our vision

Of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,

To venture on wilder seas

Where losing sight of land

We shall find the stars.

We ask you to push back

The horizons of our hopes;

And to push back the future

In strength, courage, hope, and love.

This we ask in the name of our Captain,

Who is Jesus Christ! (End of prayer)

DISTURB US LORD LYRICS
Here are the Lyrics to DISTURB US LORD by Tony Wood/Lee Black/Dave Clark

Disturb us Lord
When wordly things delight us and we
Fail to look above
When we withhold from others
Though we’ve been given much
If the fire of our first love’s not burning bright as before
Disturb us Lord

Disturb us Lord
When we’re not in your Word and we don’t
Spend time on our knees
When we have a chance but we don’t speak the
Truth that sets men free
It we don’t worship you with fiery passion anymore
Disturb us Lord

Sometimes in your great love
You comfort the troubled
But other times in your great love
You trouble the comfortable

Disturb us Lord
If our lives never touch the lives
Of those still in the dark
If we don’t live with hearts that break for
Things that break your heart
In tenderness please lead your church
Back to your heart once more
Disturb us Lord

If we ever lose the wonder
Of the cross that you once bore
Disturb us Lord
Disturb us Lord

HOW THE MINISTRY BEGAN 2011

A PRAYER FOR YOU , FROM THE VISIONARY .

Until you've answered this Question . Your Journey has not began

WHAT ARE YOU EATING? AND WHAT IS EATING YOU UP?
*THINK ABOUT IT*

Stop using God, allow him use you. . For the time has come that they what worship must worship in truth and in spirit

Stop using God, allow him use you. . For the time has come that they what worship must worship in truth and in spirit

*John 2:26*
Is it because you saw miraculous signs? The truth is, you are looking for me because you ate the bread and were satisfied.
EHV


Jesus knows why you're following him . Stop pretending please

I have told myself I won't let anyone push me to do what Others are doing. I refuse to hurt God in a bid trend.

At the end of the Day Peter realised that Jesus wasn't doubting if Peter loved him... rather it was a question of *do you love me more than all these?*
So it was a question of the extent of the love .


Because you can love God until trouble comes .

You cam say you love God until your relationship scatters.

You cam say you love God until you dropout of school.

You cam say you love God until you loose a loved one.

Will you still love?

It's not always going to be sweet and rosy. There is a *Canaan* flowing with milk and Honey but there's also a *Gethsemane* flowing with blood and Sweat.

*WAKE UP CHILD OF GOD*
