Apostles
I have brought you together as My apostles to worship in song
Your message will be heard in this city, My love it will prolong
Since the creation of the world My word the apostles spoke to all
It was there in the beginning and before man had his fall
Only the apostles step out in faith and dance as they speak
My words on their tongues and walk among the people of the streets
Apostles will come before the new salvation’s glory falls
Worship Me with the new sounds of your heart that will catch on by all
The people devoted to the word and take it with them just as before
When the message was the guidance for the nations and healings were common and not just a lore
Apostles of worship have the calling on their heart to sing the truth
The truth of their hearts that as apostles they will pass on to the youth
A fervent message from heaven to be free to worship Me in any way they can
Generations will gather together and the new birth creates the apostles, that is My plan
Take back My helpless and hold them near to your hearts in this city
All are loved and will be apostles for My kingdom, they do not need pity
(Luke 6:13 NRSV) And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles:
(Acts 2:42 NRSV) They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
(Acts 5:29 NRSV) But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than any human authority.
(1 Cor 12:28 -31 NRSV) 28 – And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then deeds of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership, various kinds of tongues. 29 – Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 – Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31 – But strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
(Eph 3:1 – 5 NRSV) 1 – This is the reason that I Paul am a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—2 – for surely you have already heard of the commission of God’s grace that was given me for you, 3 – and how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I wrote above in a few words, 4 – a reading of which will enable you to perceive my understanding of the mystery of Christ. 5 – In former generations this mystery was not made known to humankind, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:
(Eph 4:11 NRSV) The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,
(Jude 1:17 – 21 NRSV) 17 – But you, beloved, must remember the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 – for they said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, indulging their own ungodly lusts.” 19 – It is these worldly people, devoid of the Spirit, who are causing divisions. 20 – But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; 21 – keep yourselves in the love of God; look forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
