We are the result of prayer

Of a broken hallelujah

We are the flowers of wet soil

Showered by tears

We are the product of

multiple factors unforeseen

We are the sum of beautiful

additions to this church.

We are the harvest of a seed

Planted by those before us

We are a exhibit of sacrifice.

Of those taking chances and rolling the dice.

We are standing on the backs of laborers who were not content

You are resting on the precepts is the fervent

You do not know the cost of the oil

our alabaster box is bursting at the seems

Young boys turned to wise men following a dream.

Hundreds of families melding into one.

Congregants by choice but the church by blood

You are answered prayers

You are the revival my predecessors prayed for

You are the word spoken in private coming to fruition in public

You are the manifestation of what was brewing in the secret place.

We are not mistake.

Or a consequence of a action.

You are carrying the weight of their prayers on us.

You think we would stop?

You would like to us fall?

We are the chosen generation

The praying churches culmination

We don't follow the culture but we are the catalysts.

We are the pavilion of the miraculous,

we are the house of nations,

Building off the foundations that was laid

The rejected stone became the corner stone

You saw a death sentence I saw a womb

You thought God had his plan on pause well let me hit resume.

You saw a man in a tomb

I saw man that was planted

You see a church stagnant

I see a church germinating

Even Jesus looked defeated right before his resurrection

So you can cast your stones, get your best whips, make the most piercing crown, and the people can gather around

You can watch us get crucified, criticized and ostracized.

But make sure you stick around for the resurrection.

Don't only be there for our downfall but also for the ascension.

Don't look for what last saw me, don't look in the tomb.

Look to where you would have never expected and make some room.

We are not a conclusion but a beginning.

You can walk out now, but I'd stick around to witness

Jesus's story for our church and It isn't Finished.
