We have done a ton of work over this past year or so and spent more hours and resources than we can count in order to release our new album “God & Sinner Reconcile” tomorrow. And now we are on the eve of the release and all we can do is pray. So if you would join us, here are 7 ways to pray.

1. That the Holy Spirit would take the gospel truths in these songs and change people as he uses them to illuminate Christ to their hearts.

2. That the Lord would bless this work and cause its message to spread as far into the nations as possible for the glory of Jesus Christ and the joy of all people.

3. That those who have not trusted Jesus for salvation would hear this album and be wrecked out, brought to repentance, and reconciled to God through Christ.

4. That worship leaders and pastors across the earth would hear it and be refreshed by inner revival and renewed passion for their first Love.

5. That those who are struggling with sin would use these songs as hope-filled weapons of faith to fight their sin and know that God is better.

6. That people would not steal or endlessly spotify this music, but help fund our ongoing work of ministry.

7. That God would get every drop of glory out of all of this. Not to us, O Lord, but to your name be the glory!

Grace & Peace,
Stephen Miller

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

Revelation 21:1-7

Creator God, a helpless babe
Has come into the world He made
Relinquished royal privilege
To come to us as God made flesh
Fully God, yet fully man
That each of us be born again
Born of a virgin, to David’s throne
A throne of straw in David’s home
Born as all the prophets said
Without sin or its deadly effects
To a world suffering under sin and death

Humble and lowly, he came to save
Giving life to all who the Father gave
With Gospel news, and Gospel grace
His righteousness to take our place
Our sins traded for his crown
Our death taken for his renown
That angels and men in chorus could sing
“Glory to the Risen King!”
And all things groaning to be restored
Would suffer under sin and death no more
A new Heaven and Earth, with Him as our Lord
Our Sun and Moon forevermore!
For He is the light that lights eternity
And he came to rescue – Let all creation sing!

I wrote this one with my band mates, Corbin Petersen and Taylor Webb from Psalm 143. It’s a penitential lament that hopes in the faithfulness of God.

Psalm 143 by stephenmiller

I will think of all you’ve done
How you saved me In your mercy
When darkness pursued
I could run to you For my refuge

Don’t hide now – Show your face

I’m calling out to you
Hear my prayer For your name’s sake
With arms stretched high
I lift my soul To you

I will think of all you’ve done
When my troubles Overwhelm me
When the enemy pursues
And my soul is crushed I’ll sing

Don’t hide now – Show your face

I’m calling out to you
Hear my prayer For your name’s sake
With arms stretched high
I lift my soul To you

And my soul thirsts, My soul thirsts
For you, For you

Don’t hide now – Show your face

I’m calling out to you
Hear my prayer For your name’s sake
With arms stretched high
I lift my broken soul to you
