Make Us A House of Prayer

Verse

You call us near, into Your holy place,

Where mercy speaks and glory fills the space.

With trembling hearts we rise before Your throne,

For all the nations—you have made them Your own.

Oh Lord, awaken every sleeping heart,

Let the fire of prayer ignite a brand-new start.

Chorus

Make us a house of prayer,

Crying out for every nation.

Lift our voices, God, we dare—

To stand in holy desperation.

Let Your glory fill this place,

Let Your will be done on earth.

Make us watchmen on the walls,

Intercessors giving birth.

Verse

The broken, the weary, the distant You call,

Your heart is wide open, there’s room for all.

You say, “Come to My mountain, My joy is your strength,”

To the altar of prayer where love has no end.

So we gather with tears for the world You love,

Let the cry of the saints rise to heaven above.

Bridge

Awaken us, awaken us…

Let the Spirit groan within.

Teach our hearts to intercede,

For Your kingdom to begin.

Break our hearts for what You see,

Let the church fall to her knees.

Holy fire, fall again—

Make us faithful in the place of prayer.

Chorus

Make us a house of prayer,

Crying out for every nation.

Lift our voices, God, we dare—

To stand in holy desperation.

Let Your glory fill this place,

Let Your will be done on earth.

Make us watchmen on the walls,

Intercessors giving birth.

Chorus

Make us a house of prayer,

For the hurting and the nations.

Let our worship be the air

That carries heaven’s invitations.

Fill this place with holy fire,

Make our hearts a sacred flame.

Here we stand in intercession—

For the glory of Your Name.

Outro

Your house… Your people…

Your altar… Your flame…

Here we are, Lord—

Teach us to pray.
