Fellowship
You come together in My name to fellowship and worship together as one
A single family sharing in unity the baptism of Jesus My Son
Putting aside the worries of your day and looking to Me for grace
In abundance I will pour out on this fellowship power that transcends space
Worship with abandon and leave nothing behind as you seek My face
All honor and glory will flow to this city because of the faith of this place
Receive the cleansing of your soul as you worship from your heart tonight
The freedom of your fellowship draws near those who are open and willing to fight
For the lost and bring to them the salvation of Jesus that they need
To bring them into fellowship and love one another to be freed
Stand against all evil that comes against you for you will succeed
In overcoming the bindings placed on this city and plant new seed
Seed for the grand harvest that stands before you as you fellowship together in one accord
Take up your shield and advance My kingdom with the power of the sword
Speak the truth of My word and no one can deny the honor of your heart
As you fellowship with the lost you will impart My grace that will not depart
(Acts 2:41 – 42 NRSV) 41 – So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added. 42 – They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
(1 Cor 1:9 NRSV)Â God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
(1 John 1:3 NRSV)Â we declare to you what we have seen and heard so that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
(1 John 1:6 – 7 NRSV) If we say that we have fellowship with him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true; 7 – but if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
