Keith & Kristyn Getty

While this song does not specifically target the workplace, its message is clear. We are all called to bring God;s kingdom rule to bear wherever God has placed us.

Lyrics

Hear the call of the kingdom
Lift your eyes to the King
Let His song rise within you
As a fragrant offering
Of how God rich in mercy
Came in Christ to redeem
All who trust in His unfailing grace

Hear the call of the Kingdom
To be children of light
With the mercy of heaven
The humility of Christ
Walking justly before Him
Loving all that is right
That the life of Christ may shine through us

(Chorus)
King of Heaven we will answer the call
We will follow bringing hope to the world
Filled with passion, filled with power to proclaim
Salvation in Jesus’ name

Hear the call of the Kingdom
To reach out to the lost
With the Father’s compassion
In the wonder of the cross
Bringing peace and forgiveness
And a hope yet to come
Let the nations put their trust in Him?

Here’s a terrific worship song from Keith and Kristyn Getty that beautifully captures the value and purpose of our work – however ordinary and mundane it might be. (Karaoke version)

 

 

Before You I kneel, my Master and Maker,

To offer the work of my hands.

For this is the day You?ve given Your servant;?

I will rejoice and be glad?

For the strength I have to live and breathe,?

For each skill Your grace has given me,?

For the needs and opportunities?

That will glorify Your great name.?

 

Before You I kneel and ask for Your goodness?

To cover the work of my hands.?

For patience and peace to shape all my labor,?

Your grace for thorns in my path.?

Flow within me like a living stream,?

Wear away the stones of pride and greed?

?Til Your ways are dwelling deep in me?

And a harvest of life is grown.?

 

Before You we kneel, our Master and Maker;?

Establish the work of our hands.?

And order our steps to seek first Your kingdom?

In every small and great task.?

May we live the gospel of Your grace,?

Serve Your purpose in our fleeting days,?

Then our lives will bring eternal praise?

And all glory to Your great name.
