| 0:10.0 | special anointing and help from you in the name of Jesus because of the cross where |
| 0:19.8 | he died for me. Father it's a frightening thing to call a generation to die. We sing of it very lightly. We run to this cross, which is where we should run. |
| 0:40.0 | And it is a frightening thing to call my sons and my daughters to die. |
| 0:50.0 | And so I pray that you would give me the grace to say what you want said, not to say anything more or anything less. |
| 1:02.0 | I pray that you'd fill me now with your Holy Spirit. I pray that you'd come upon this assembly with a sense of resolve to walk with Christ to the peoples and to the campuses with the cross and on the cross. |
