Check out this song

As a worship leader here, I'm very interested in encouraging Croatians to write their own worship music rather than just translating English songs. Many times the translations just turn out awkward and less powerful after the translation.

I say that all to say, there is a Croatian believer down in Split who has recently written a worship song which in our opinion, is extremely powerful and seems to really be for this season in Croatia. I wanted to just translate the song for you to encourage you to pray for Croatia. The more we pray, the closer we are to God's purpose being fulfilled in this nation.

Here's the song. It's called, "Your Kingdom":

God, your grace is greater than all sins
and we are forgiven
Let us be courageous
Because in the power of Your Spirit
Is our victory
Prepare a great harvest...
and Your word is the sickle
You are the Lord of the harvest
Hear our prayer!

For your Kingdom is soon coming
And now is the time of salvation
Now is the time for us (I love this line!!)
That we speak to all about your grace
By which you give life
From which comes salvation

Pretty great words, huh! It has a cool melody too. I'll try to catch some of it on video or audio file so you guys can hear it.

Blessings to you! - James
