And the peace of God…

Friday is shopping day, in Beauvais, about 25 minutes drive away. On the drive… another song! In English, with the title And the peace of God:

Greater is He that is in you,
Than he that is in the world.
Repeat

And the peace of God,
Oh, yes, the peace of God,
And the peace of God,
Which transcends all understanding,

Shall garrison your hearts and minds,   x 3

In Christ Jesus, in Christ Jesus,   x 3
Our Lord.

Cick here for a recording of the English version. The words are from 1 John 4:4 and Philippians 4:7.

En français, avec le titre Et la paix de Dieu:

Plus grand est celui qui est en vous,
Que celui dans le monde.
Répétez

Et la paix de Dieu,
Oh oui, la paix de Dieu,
Et la paix de Dieu,
Qui dépasse toute compréhension,

Sera une garnison autour vos coeurs et pensées,
Une garnison autour vos coeurs et pensées,
Une garnison autour vos coeurs et pensées,

En Jésus-Christ, oui en Jésus-Christ, x  3
Le Seigneur.

A song for Montdidier

Last Saturday, 30 March, Joanna and I went to Montdidier to do some more prayer walking. We had a great time: the sun was shining and we were really encouraged in prayer.

Whilst walking and praying, the Lord gave me a song, which I felt was particularly for the town of Montdidier. It was initially in English, with the title A day full of wonder:

A day full of wonder,
A day full of joy,
The day when we see
Your Holy Spirit fall…
Holy Spirit, fall…
     Repeat…
Right here.

Come Holy Spirit and fall in this place,
Come in your power and mercy and grace.
Push back the darkness and let in the light,
Yes, we are ready, we’re ready to fight…

Chorus

I then created a French version, with some changes to make the song work, with the title Un jour plein de merveille:

Un jour plein de merveille,
Un jour plein de joie,
Le jour quand on voit
Ton Saint-Esprit tombe…
Saint-Esprit, tombe…
     Répétez
Ici.

Viens cher Saint-Esprit et tombe en ce lieu,
Viens en ta puissance, ton amour, ta grâce ;
Repousse les ténèbres, laisse entrer l’éclat,
Nous sommes préparés, prêts pour le combat.
