Hearing the Heart of God

I was Googling Kent Henry tonite and I rediscovered this wonderful prophetic song he sang in the mid 1980s. It's called Vessels of Honor. It really reveals God's hearbeat for us.

Talk about a holy moment in time.

It foretold that there would be a time that God's Words would burn in our hearts deeper within us full of His Grace. That moment would be a time where those behind the plow would be called to understand His abundant grace.

20 years later we're living in those times foretold in this prophetic song. That time is now.

After listening, I feel that yearning, aching and hungering for God once more. That river of worship, that wonderful river of worship. It's been a long time, but it's still there. That hunger for the Lord.

When we come into contact with true worpshippers like Kent Henry, he begins to draw that river out from us. He begins to make us cherish the things of Heaven, the things of the Spirit, the things of God.

I miss that so much.

Here's a transcript of that prophetic song.

Vessels of Honor
=============

There is an hour
When my fear will return

There is an hour
My words will burn

Deeper within you
Full of my grace
I'll show you
in my Spirit

There is a moment
Where I must use you now

There is a moment
I call those behind the plow

To know and understand my mercy
To understand my abundant grace

This is the hour
That my fear shall return

This is the hour
Well my word will begin to burn

This is the hour
Where you will bow every knee

You who began in my Spirit
You who began in my Spirt
You who began in my Spirt
They will see

For you have not cried alone
that I have not seen it says the Lord
You haven't cried alone
that I haven't seen it says the Lord

For I have been crying for years
For a people lost and seperated from me
Open up your hearts
And you will see

That I've been there
in every dark and weary hour

That I've been there
in every dark and weary hour

You haven't walked one mile
or one inch alone

For I have watched over you
Did you forget I knit your bones?

So rise up, and be my people
Set aside for the work of my holiness

So rise up, be that holy people
That I have ordained from years ago

You are my vessels of honor
My channels of power

You're my vessels of honor
My channels of power

No and I haven't turned you
Haven't turned you aside

For I've engravened you on My hand
that you could ride with Me

As My vessels of honor
Don't you know you're my channels of power

Well you are my vessels of honor,
You are My channels of power

And I've reserved you for such,
Such a time as this

So you could come before me in worship
As it were, be kissed

For you're My vessels of honor
Don't you know you're my channels of power

You are my Vessels of Honor,
You are my only channels of power

For you who have given your heart
to Me in this place
Are coming to understand
How to finish out your race

As vessels of honor
And channels of My power

You are My vessels of honor
You are My channels of my power

You are My vessels of honor
You're My channels of power
Reserved for this holy hour

Vessels of honor and channels of power

You are My vessels
You are My vessel
Are you listening my children?
You are
My vessels of honor
And channels of power

Channels of my power
