Verse 1
You have called us out of darkest night
Into Your glorious light
That we may sing the wonders of
The risen Christ

Verse 2
May our every breath retell the grace
That broke into our strife
With boundless love and deepest joy
With endless life

Chorus
May the peoples praise You
Let the nations be glad
All Your blessing comes
That we may praise
May praise the Name of Jesus

Verse 3
All the earth is Yours and all within
Each harvest is Your own
And from Your hand we give to You
To make Christ known

Verse 4
May the seeds of mercy grow in us
For those who have not heard
May songs of praise build lives of grace
To spread Your Word

Verse 5
This our holy priv'lege to declare
Your praises and Your name
To every nation tribe and tongue
Your church proclaim

Bridge
Holy Holy is the Lord Almighty
Worthy worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy Holy is the Lord Almighty
All creation praise Your glorious Name

This month at FBC we have four mission-related emphases: Send Sunday, VBX, the Colorado mission trip, and the Dominican Republic mission trip. As John Piper says, “Missions exists because worship does not.” The Universal Church--and indeed, FBC--exists to make worshipers of those who do not currently name Jesus Christ as Savior. This is not “a” mission of the universal and local church...it is “THE” mission: to PREACH the gospel (everyone, not just the pastor), to SEND missionaries to places where the gospel is not heard, and to GO ourselves, should the Lord call us. Through Send Sunday we will be spending a week in focused prayer over our own people, asking God to raise up missionaries from within. Our VBX ministry focuses on evangelizing the youth of our community. Our two mission trips will be preaching the gospel nationally and internationally. Take time this month to beg the Lord in prayer for the salvation of many.

“May the Peoples Praise You” is a retelling of Psalm 67. We chose it this month to help us orient our thinking around the mission of the church and the future reality that one day every tribe, tongue, and nation will gather around the throne of Jesus and worship him! Keep your eyes open this month to opportunities to share this Good News with the people around you, who are not yet born again.
