Emergency Call

Kristine Cucinotta Murphy

God, hear my cry this day
For men to lead us the way

Give them courage, a drive to lead
To be all gentle tender kindness to heed

To influence wives without distractions
Not of power or might but by your Holy Spirit’s actions

Be the light in our homes to shine
I pray this for every leader, even mine

Give men a willing heart to submit to you
To allow your Holy Spirit to pour through

In all the things men say and do
O God, and us wives to willingly submit too

Let our husbands discern what is true
A humble servant living in the fear of you

This is an emergency call
Put your fire in them above all

Compassion to be understanding to support
In times she is vunerable and hurt

To cover us with grace and love
O Holy Spirit come down on our husbands like a dove

God-fearing leaders are needed this day and hour
Bless men with favor to shower

Wash men’s hearts clean, a Spirit of new
Provoking wives to love that is due

Protect men and provide every need
Hearts are failing, the flesh continues to bleed

Bless men’s hands to be tender
A heart of mercy to comfort her

Yet, bless men with boldness to be leader
And know just how to nudge her

And even when she doesn’t move
Bless men with knowledge to pick her up out of that groove

Let men’s prayers not be hindered
We need mighty warriors to rise and move us forward

Give men wisdom to be also meek
With us wives, a vessel made slightly weak

Let not the authority given to them be used
For pride or selfish gain, never to be abused

To not frustrate with tempers of short
Convict men to come to you first and not be their last resort

Remind men each breath they take
They are being held accountable at a higher stake

Bless men’s desire and priority
To sanctify us with peace daily

May men’s crowns always cast at your feet
Keeping our Covenant marriages a holy retreat

A safe place to dwell
Without fear to love well

We thank you for the men in our life
Giving us to them, to be a help meet, a praying wife

Make men leaders that are pleasing to you this day
To bring you glory, this in Jesus name I pray

1 Timothy 2:2- 8
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
