From The Friendship and the Fear by Matt Redman

We will give ourselves no rest
'Til Your Kingdom comes on earth
You've positioned watchmen on the walls
Now our prayers will flow like tears
For You've shared Your heart with us
God of Heaven, on our knees we fall

Come down in power
Reveal Your heart again
Come hear our cries
The tears that plead for rain

We're knocking,
Knocking on the door of heaven
We're crying,
crying for this generation
We're praying for Your name to be known
In all of the earth
We're watching,
watching on the walls to see You
We're looking,
looking for a time of breakthrough
We're praying for Your word to bear fruit
In all of the earth
In all of the earth

Nous n'aurons pas de repit
En attendant ton royaume
Tu as mis des gardes sur les murs
Nous répandons nos prières
En accord avec ton cœur
Dieu du ciel, nous tombons à genoux

Descends, avec force,
Révèle-nous ton cœur
Entends nos cris,
Nous implorons la pluie

Nous frappons,
frappons à la porte du ciel,
Nous pleurons,
pleurons pour cette génération;
Nous prions que ton nom soit connu
Sur toute la terre
Nous guettons,
guettons sur les murs ta venue;
Nous semons,
semons toujours ta parole
Et nous prions qu'elle porte du fruit
Sur toute la terre,
Sur toute la terre.

 

April 28, 2003 (Nicole): We both like this song a lot. For me, this song is a now and for the future/ or the not yet kind of song -praying for things to happen. I really like the images in this song, both in the English and in the translated French version. The tune is not only catchy but also mirrors the images created by the words -such as a sort of insistance, as well as repetition like knocking or (and) pleading. May it remind us to reflect, then act, then persevere.
